Happy Birthday Abbi | South Florida Family Photographer

Meet Abbi!  Abbi and her dad (fabulous photographer Robert Madrid) came by the studio for a play date and smash cake session.  As a professed “daddy’s girl” myself, I really appreciate how special these images of dad and his #1 daughter will always be.

See you soon,

Alexa & Sydney | South Florida Family Photographer

Our busiest season of the year is well underway, and it all started on Saturday morning with this gorgeous pair of sisters Alexa and Sydney (and their equally gorgeous mama).  And to think this weekend was supposed to be a “washout”, so glad Mother Nature had a change of plans.

Weekend sessions are quickly filling up.  Don’t hesitate to make your appointment for your custom portrait session at the studio.

Dylan & Vaughn | South Florida Family Photographer

Three times a charm for Dylan and Vaughn.  I’ve been capturing these twins for three years.  Although they are not identical, they are definitely equal in the handsome department.  They came down to the studio for their yearly portrait session.  We didn’t let a little rain get in our way.

The three mini session dates are quickly filling up.  Only a few November dates remain.  Contact the studio for more information and to schedule your session; courtney@courtneyortiz.com  954-558-6893

And Baby Makes FOUR! | South Florida Family Photographer

If there’s one thing the three older brothers can agree on, it’s that they ALL LOVE their new baby brother, Lucas.  Each one of those older brothers wanted to be the one to hold, hug, and kiss little Lucas, and they weren’t too keen on sharing.  Lots of love is a good thing and this house was overflowing with it.

The September newsletter was sent out yesterday.  Read it here!  Lots of great information and mini session specials.

Matilda Jane Trunk Show is tomorrow, September 4 @ the studio.  Check the facebook event page for more information.

Happy Labor Day…almost | South Florida Commercial Photographer

It’s almost Friday and the start of a three day weekend.  We survived the first weeks of school and Monday off is pretty awesome.  Summer is officially over.  EVERYONE is back to school the Tuesday after Labor Day right!?   To commemorate the lazy days of summer I’m sharing anther “One Shoot a Week.”  “One Shoot a Week” is a collaborative photography project with my good friend and amazing artist, Alissa Alfonso.  It was a fun way to combine her artistic eye and love of everything vintage, with the love of our kids, and photography.  This shoot took place at the beginning of the summer.  It was a cover shoot for the Hollywood Gazette’s story on Food Trucks in Hollywood.  A big thanks to Hippops for coming out and playing with us that morning.

Happy Birthday Raquel | South Florida Family Photographer

Happy first birthday sweet Raquel.  Raquel is not only the youngest of 4 gorgeous children, she’s the ONLY girl.  Raquel has three older brothers.  So there’s no denying that she holds a very special place in her mama’s heart.  To capture this princess’s birthday we broke up the custom portrait session into 2 parts.   The first session took place at home, and the second at the studio for the smash cake.   First off, I have to give huge props to her mama, Francine.  She did an amazing job designing Raquel’s nursery.  Francine is owner of Give Wink, Miami’s premier baby and kid’s boutique.  From furniture (with design services available on site), baby gear, gifts, and toys, Give Wink has it ALL.  Just take a look at that crib.  Only one word…FABULOUS.

I love that we incorporated a small family heirloom.  This small red leather purse that belonged to her mama as a young girl.

The Hollywood Gazette | South Florida Commercial Photographer

I have been shooting covers for the Hollywood Gazette for the past 4 years.  My first cover was May 2010 and I was lucky enough to use my sister as my cover model.  I love being a part of a monthly magazine that showcases my hometown community.  And I love it even more when I can meld together personal work with professional.  When it came time to shoot the August cover, I was given one direction by the Gazette’s editor in chief, Jennifer Sandomir, “Back to school”.  Perfect! I had been wanting to do a “back to school” inspired shoot using my girls.  Anything with a “theme” is completely out of my comfort zone.  I couldn’t wait to flex my creative muscle a bit.   So I called up my girl Alissa and we were able to check off a week of our “One Shoot a Week” personal project.  Alissa set it up at her house, dressed our girls in both vintage and original pieces created by her (under her children’s line 5 Stitches), and we just let the girls play school.

The Hollywood Gazette is a free monthly magazine.  Make sure you pick up a copy to check which adorable image made the cover.

See you soon,

One Shoot A Week | South Florida Family Photographer

Sometimes the best shoots are completely impromptu.  This is something of how it went.

Alissa, “My husband’s cousin owns a vintage fire truck.  He’s bringing it over to show all the kids in our family at 4:00.  Come over.”

Me, “Awesome!”

And I checked my “One Shoot a Week” off my list.

Owen’s done with camp for the summer, so he finally is making an appearance.  Doesn’t he just look so happy?!  I love summertime.

See you soon,
