We finally moved in, see a sneak peek of our new studio below. This is about 1/3 of it. We are so excited to show everyone. We will be having an inaugural get-together soon. If you would be interested in coming please email me, we will have give aways and info on what is in store for Simply Captivating next year. We couldn't have done it without our great families, clients and friends. We can't wait to keep shooting. This will also be the home for all of our meetings with Brides & grooms. We are open by appointment only for now and are located near 72 ave & SW 48 street in Miami(right off of Bird Road and the Palmetto).
What a cutie!!!
Ohhh my goodness... This little guy or should I say big guy is the cutest and one of the most chubbiest babies I have ever seen. He is only a couple weeks old but looks like an older baby. He was so good but did not want to fall asleep. I can't wait till he is a little older sitting and laughing. His big brother Erik could not get enough of him.
Take a look at this cute guy, his slideshow will be up soon.

Their slideshow will be up soon. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Barbie & Andy
Beautiful weekday wedding. Took place Thursday at Pinecrest Gardens, late afternoon.
These are very close friends of ours and I had such a great time. The gardens are beautiful and lush, not very many flowers but that allows your bouquet to really standout. Barbie looked beautiful and Andy was so happy to see her walk down the aisle. Before the cake I took everyone , and I mean everyone, abuelitos and all down to the grassy area to take some big group shots with the sunset behind them. Barbie's daughter was the flower girl, she is adorable. Overall beautiful venue, perfect weather. Beautiful wedding, see for yourself. Slideshow coming soon!

Photographer Meetings & Networking
Hi...This post is for wedding photographers. I am interested in starting an official networking group, if you want more info and want to join(would be free of course) please let me know. I want to also include some nights just going out and shooting random stuff and get ice cream or coffee etc.
My husband and I are very big on networking and have a big group of photogs we chat with. I am also on the OSPer forums(those who know about it will know what I am talking about). If not just ask.
Amateur photogrpahers or non-wedding photographers I want to do different types of networking with you guys too so let me know how many clients or friends of ours would love to learn a little more about photography or just get out there and shoot with other photogrpahers.
This field has changed so much and its all about sharing networking.
Also let us know what wedding professionals/vendors of any kind would like to participate in a local south florida forum if we decide to start one.
