As a Miami family photographer, it’s always such a joy to capture families during their vacations in South Florida. This time, I had the privilege of photographing Raizy and her two little girls during their all-girls trip to Miami Beach. Their stay at the St. Regis Bal Harbour offered the perfect setting to create timeless memories together.
The resort itself is a dream location for family photos. With its private beach access, you don’t have to worry about crowds or onlookers—just the serene backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. The path leading from the resort to the sand is lined with lush greenery and soft beach grass, creating an inviting transition to the oceanfront. Once you arrive on the beach, the view opens up to rows of cabanas and chairs facing the horizon, setting a tranquil, intimate scene for photos.
On the day of the session, a coastal breeze added an extra element of magic. Raizy and her daughters embraced it beautifully, their hair catching in the wind as they laughed and cuddled together. At such a sweet stage in life, her girls were happiest in her arms, soaking up every moment of closeness. Their calm and joyful energy made the shoot feel effortless, and I found myself continually inspired by their bond.
One of the most memorable moments came when Raizy slipped off her sandals, sat in the sand with her daughters, and held them close as they gazed at the waves. It was simple, pure, and absolutely beautiful, a memory I hope they’ll treasure for years to come.
