Special First Communion Photoshoot

Hello everyone!

I’m Stephanie, a photographer based in Miami. Today I want to share a special first communion photoshoot. This photoshoot was for a beautiful girl who I have had the privilege of photographing every year for the past 8 years. This year, she was celebrating her First Communion and her parents wanted to capture this special moment in her life.

The location we chose was Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami. Vizcaya is a beautiful Italian Renaissance-style villa that sits on Biscayne Bay. The stunning architecture and lush gardens provided the perfect backdrop for this special day.

As we started the photoshoot, I was struck by how much this young lady has grown and matured over the years. She was confident and radiant in her white dress, a symbol of her purity and faith. I could see the love and pride in her parents’ eyes as they watched her posing for the camera.

The shoot was filled with laughter, joy, and love. We captured beautiful solo portraits and shots with her parents. The surroundings were breathtaking. It was a truly magical day.

Looking back at the images, I can see how much this young lady has grown and changed over the years. It’s a privilege to have been a part of capturing her life journey and I’m grateful for the opportunity to capture this special moment in her life.

I’m honored to have been a part of this beautiful young lady’s special First Communion photoshoot. She is a true blessing. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to capture her beauty and grace. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Fall family sessions are in full swing 🍂 This beautiful family invited me to photograph them right behind their building — complete with peaceful water views and two sweet girls with the warmest smiles. Miami may not have the fall colors, but it’s the perfect time for updated family photos by the water 💛

Sometimes the smallest stories hold the most strength 💛

This sweet baby boy spent his first weeks in the NICU after arriving a little earlier than expected. His parents invited me in to capture those tiny details—the fingers wrapped around theirs, the peaceful moments in between the beeps and wires, the love that filled that room.

I’m so happy to share that he’s home now, healthy and thriving—and we just finished his newborn session in the studio (stay tuned for those photos!).

Every family’s journey looks a little different, and it’s an honor to help preserve these first chapters. 💫

What’s one moment of your life you wish you had a photo of?
For me, it’s my second pregnancy. I didn’t do professional photos that time, and I wish I had something beautiful to look back on from that season of life.

That’s why I love capturing sessions like this one — a couple in the studio, full of excitement and anticipation as they get ready to meet their first baby. These images will hold all the emotion of this moment forever — the love, the connection, the quiet joy before everything changes. 💫

If you’re expecting, don’t wait to capture this chapter. You’ll never regret having these memories preserved beautifully.

These photos will be priceless one day — why wait to take them? 💕
This newborn session was all about family — four generations together, celebrating love, life, and the arrival of a new little one. We captured mom, dad, grandma, and great-grandma — moments that will only become more meaningful with time.

Photographs like these are the kind you’ll treasure forever — reminders of where we come from and the love that carries through generations.

Don’t wait to capture the moments you’ll want to remember forever. 💫

5 things you might not know about me (but totally should!).

🌆 I’m originally from New York City—but Miami’s light and color have completely stolen my heart and shaped my photography style.

💼 I worked a corporate job at Bacardi for 10 years before discovering my passion for photography and starting my own business.

📚 I was a psychology major in college—I’ve always been fascinated by people and how they connect, which really influences my photography.

❤️ Both of my kids have red hair—even though my husband and I are both brunettes!

💃 When I’m not behind the camera, I’m moving! Between dance class, regular pickleball games, lifting weights, and chasing toddlers—I basically never sit still 😅. #MiamiPhotographer #FamilyPhotography #NewbornPhotography #MaternityPhotography #PhotographyLife #PhotographerStory #BehindTheLens #PhotographerLife #Mompreneur
