Amber & Carlos Maternity Marriott Resort Puerto Vallarta

I absolutely was floored by how amazing Amber & Carlos look in these photos! We had to reschedule due to flight issues and rain and timing. But when we settled on a day and time it was absolutely PERFECT.

It was drizzling, and even at one point rained. Amber was going for a bright, soft, and relaxed look to her photos and I think we nailed it!

Which reminds me… I’ve gotta get these published somewhere!

Creating family memories at Garza Blanca Resort Puerto Vallarta

Even though it was drizzling, we were able to get some stunning photos of this cute family! Garza Blanca is situated to the south of central Puerto Vallarta with the ecological site of Los Arcos, where you can snorkel!

The beach is small but sooo beautiful! Usually you’d need access through the hotel however there is a public entrance close by. I’ve come here to swim and enjoy the nice pools they’ve created with the rock wave blocking things… not sure what they’re called in English!

Anyway, how cute is this family! A well deserved vacation after such a crazy couple of years!

Big families are making a comeback! | Marina Vallarta Puerto Vallarta

It’s always a pleasure when I can visit my clients at their hotels and make things easier for them in every way!

And with the whole pandemic, big family trips have been delayed for a major part of the last year but they’re making their comeback!

All were vaccinated, I was masked, and we kept our distance. I’m happy to be able to say I’m so behind on sharing these photos with y’all!

On to the cute photos!

Tracey & Nick Mother/Son Portrait session

Tracey and Nick are a mom and son duo who came to Puerto Vallarta to celebrate his graduation and moving onto the rest of his life adventures!

It was fun session and we had to reschedule due to weather but it worked out much better! The light was beautiful and as soon as we wrapped up, it started raining!

So be mindful to schedule your session around weather or we’ll get rained out!

Filmemory Birthday Session Puerto Vallarta

Teaming up as a preferred vendor for Filmemory has been really fun! I am able to photograph clients from all around the world who visit Puerto Vallarta and want to get some great images of their time here!

Check it out here :).

Alejandra Maternity Session Bucerias, Nayarit, Mexico

Is there a better way to prep and relax for a baby than a baby moon? I love photographing maternity sessions here in Puerto Vallarta because it’s the perfect place for photos!

Puerto Vallarta has beautiful beaches and the most beautiful sunsets! We also got to take some photos in front of a beautiful mural to warm up before heading to the beach and ending with cute matching swimsuits!!!

Family Beach Session - Puerto Vallarta Mexico

It’s a beautiful thing when I get clients who have never had their professional photos taken - ever.

Why? Because I get to give my clients the best portrait experience of their lives. There is no stress here and we finish our session with lots of smiles and well, pre-covid, lots of hugs!

Letting families be completely and authentically themselves, allowing teens to not smile if they don’t want to, and give them space to get comfortable, listening to my clients, and aiming to give them the best each and every time is my goal.

I want their first photography experience to be unforgettable and memorable. And it’ll make them more comfortable and in the future, they won’t think twice about updating their photos and making sure their memories are captured forever!

I know, I sound crazy right? But hear me out, anytime you do anything for the first time it can feel intimidating. And when your first experience is positive and beautiful, then it just makes everything 1000x better.

I want to be that for my clients.

And, I’ve had clients who were afraid of hiring another photographer because their last experience wasn’t great. Which I also take on as a challenge to make sure their perspective is changed.

Because it’s more than just photos, it’s an experience you never forget.

Literally.

So when Mikah came to me telling me this was their first professional shoot, I know we made it memorable!

Thank you so much Mikah & kids! It was a blast!

Nuevo Vallarta Family & Solo Portrait Session

Can you schedule a shoot for two different purposes? YES! Yes you can! So Dora and I bumped into each other outside of one clients’ hotel and I gave her my card. She booked me and we had our session a couple days later.

She wanted a session with her son and also of herself an I was about it!

Celebrate yourself too mama! I’m about that for sure!

Hernandez - Gonzales Puerto Vallarta Family Portrait Session

Connecting with families is something I absolutely love to do! Even though the sessions now look a little different than before, we still have a great time chasing after little ones, getting real expressions, and smiling behind the camera when families are having fun.

Needless to say, I think we tuckered these two little ones out! Thank you Victoria and Cristian for trusting me and letting me photograph your beautiful family. This family visits us from Mexico City!

*Note: You’ll see a little sun and water logo at the bottom of these images - they were created for Bella Arte Foto which is our Puerto Vallarta local studio and is for national clients. Visit the FB page if you’re interested in learning more!

Alegre Family Puerto Vallarta Portrait Family Photographer

Getting to photograph families is something that I enjoy so much because I get the chance to create something that will be passed down through generations.

Someday, these girls will look at these photos and remember the amazing vacation they took amidst one of the worst pandemics in the world.

Together and united they enjoyed a little rest and relaxation at a top destination, Marival Distincts Resort, in Nuevo Vallarta.

With all the safety regulations in place, families can get a little vacation in and enjoy the beach, pool, and restaurants in Puerto Vallarta even during this unprecedented time. Resorts are only at 30% capacity, maintaining all of the sanitation regulations and helping our locals get back to work.

Partnered with Localgrapher for this session.
