Newlyweds: Jen + Zach
Meet Newlyweds Jen & Zach!
They got married a few weeks ago on the East Coast, and since they weren’t able to do any outdoor photos on their wedding day since it was winter, they decided to do a newlywed photo shoot here in the Dominican Republic, where they have been living! I was so excited to be able to do a bridal beach photoshoot in Las Terrenas! The forecast for the whole weekend was THUNDERSTORMS, but thank God the weather was perfect the day we did the photos! (It rained the following 2 days!) It was great being able to take photos out of the city. Oh. and the sunset was GLORIOUS during the photo shoot!
One of my favorite parts of the shoot was when Zach surprisingly picked up Jen and carried her down to the beach!
Congrats again, Jen & Zach!
The Caslers
The Casler Family is a big family. A fun family. A sweet family.
I had the wonderful opportunity to take some portrait and lifestyle photos for them. Their backyard has a tree swing. And a see-saw. The kids all have their own skateboards. They love board games. So of course we had some fun!!!
The Abrahams
It was a beautiful afternoon in Zona Colonial. I had the opportunity to photograph the Abraham family. The 2 girls had tons of energy, and it shows! There was an ice cream man walking around in Plaza Espana and near the end of our time together the girls were able to eat a little treat. Those were some of my favorite shots from our time together- who doesn’t love watching a happy kid eat some ice cream?
The Bernotavicius Family
It was amazing to shoot a family session at this 500 year old Fort.
Chris & Pris
We celebrated Chris & Pris’ anniversary at a beautiful restaurant in Bayahibe called Trocadero. Prior to the dinner I took a few quick shots of them around the restaurant- we were there for sunset and it was gorgeous!
Indoors with the Woonacotts
I believe there is something special to be found in the routine of “everyday life.” That’s why I enjoy taking lifestyle photos so much. It may seem like “routine” photos now, but in a few years it will show how that it really was just for a season… a very special season. I’m so glad that this family invited me into their home to photograph this special season of toddlerhood for their son! I enjoyed taking photos of anything that they were doing… nothing staged, and basically just whatever little W wanted to do!
(Note: There are a lot of black & white photos in this blog post. I often give clients the same photos in both b&w and color as well.)
J+S+M+A
Silje wanted to do an afternoon session in Zona Colonial since they are leaving Santo Domingo soon. I love taking photos there, and so we took some photos in the Plaza Duarte area. The little ones had so much energy, so it was fun taking photos of them jumping and running around! Pretty soon, a storm came in and it started raining. But I didn’t mind. I loved taking photos of the kids enjoying the rain. Luckily, we had a tiny little umbrella for the family to squeeze under!
The Corrals
Meet the Corral Family!
We had a lovely afternoon in the Zona Colonial area of Santo Domingo. The sunlight was perfect. They wanted a portrait session, so I took photos of the whole family, but also took a few candids. Some of my favorite photos were the ones where they were dancing- they looked like they were having tons of fun! The youngest son was so silly during the shoot, making faces and dancing around— I loved it! Hope you enjoy these photos of this beautiful family!
