The Simplicianos
Our friends, the Simplicianos,were about to leave Santo Domingo and wanted some family photos before they left. Their daughter, Sachiko, is a sweet spunky girl with lots of energy! We had a great time in the Colonial Zone. One of my favorite moments was when the monks and nuns were walking outside one of the churches and made it into the shots. Best wishes, Jeff, Traci, and Sachiko on your future adventures in Europe!
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 Armstrongs
The Armstrongs are missionaries who have lived in the Dominican Republic for a few years now. They have to be one of the most fun families I have ever taken photos of! They were so relaxed, easy to talk to, constantly making jokes and silly faces with one another… a photographer’s dream! I hope through my photos you can see how warm and loving this family is with one another.
The Bernotavicius Family
It was amazing to shoot a family session at this 500 year old Fort.
Pris & Chris

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.)
Outdoors w/ the Woonacotts
A year ago I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family. Little “Baby W” is not so little anymore! He is so much taller, and runs around everywhere now! But he still has those beautiful blue eyes and sweet smile 🙂 ! I enjoyed taking photos at the rooftop this year— the clouds were AMAZING!
