Mom + Dad + Stella – Family Portraits – Photography by Santy Martinez

Dad + Mom + Two little ones | Family Photographer | Miami

Family sessions have always been a favorite of mine to shoot, especially when the family is so easy going. The connection between this family was just amazing and I loved capturing it. Enjoy some of my favorites.

Lina + Andres and a belly | Miami Maternity | Photography by Santy Martinez

Smiling is one of the most positive things you can do in your life. Lina just lights up and spreads the joy of smiling. I tried to get some non-smiling shots to add a little drama to some images and she did, but it didn’t feel the same, so smiling it was for most of all the images!  Let’s not forget Andres, they complement each other so well that shooting this session was just a breeze. Enjoy some of my favorites.

Massiel + Marc + Mavin

Shooting Massiel and Marc’s wedding close to two years ago was a pure joy so I got super excited when they contacted me to shoot a family session. It’s so hard to explain the feeling you get when you capture such an important day of people’s lives on their wedding day and that same feeling multiplies when you begin shooting family sessions with them. Enjoy!

Isabella + Mommy | Family Photo Session | Miami

Contests are always fun! A couple of months ago I had a family session contest and the winner received a complimentary photo session with me. In this case the winner was Maria and her little girl Isabella. After many failed attempts due to crazy Miami weather, we finally got it done and it was simply a pleasure to shoot. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Little Geo having fun at the Miami Yacht Club | Photography by Santy Martinez

Today I blog about one of my favorite little guys. From his newborn photos to 3 month session, he has always been great. But for his 6 months session, things got even better. Shooting little Geo is always a blast, he’s such a happy baby and always full of smiles. Mom decided to shoot at the Miami Yatch Club, his grandpa’s favorite hangout spot. We used one prop that has much meaning to their family, Grandpa’s chair. Love this blog!!!

Maya’s 1st Birthday Party at Key Biscayne, Fl.

Time really flies…from a newborn shoot in a sushi boat, to a 6 month shoot at the Miami Yacht Club, and a 9 month shoot on a boat – I just knew Maya’s 1st birthday party was likely to be a day under the sea. And that it was! The waterfront setting at Bill Baggs Cape Florida Park was the perfect backdrop for a Little Mermaid Birthday party!

Maya at Six Months – The Miami Yacht Club

Just a couple of weeks ago I posted just three photos of little Maya. Watching her grow in front of my lens has been a blessing. Here are a couple more that mom and dad fell in love with!
