Napa Valley is an incredible place to spend a day or three frolicking amongst the hills, taking in the beautiful sights, and of course, tasting that wine. This trip was mainly to have fun with my friends, but I did manage to get a few shots in of our relaxing, beautiful day in Napa Valley.
Graduations are soooo fun to shoot. It’s an incredible way to mark the end of a chapter, and the beginning of so much more. And FIU’s campus, where I myself spent 3 years, provides such a luscious, tropical background, it’s hard to take a bad shot 🙂
Last year I had the incredible opportunity to visit Angel Island. It’s a beautiful, woods-covered island in the San Francisco Bay, located pretty close to Alcatraz. Angel Island is bigger than Alcatraz, and has the added distinction of never being home to a prison. However, it used to be home to a military site, as well as an immigration entrance into the United States. It is sometimes called the Ellis Island of the West, but that lofty title glosses over some of its darker history. Many of the immigrants were held here on this island for a time, in less than great conditions. Angel Island does still have many of the buildings and pays tribute to the people that spent time here under distressing circumstances.
Now, you can visit this island to hike, bike ride, and camp. Take the ferry over from a pier in San Francisco (I forgot which one but it’s the most touristy one) for a day trip. Or stay overnight in what is a truly spooky experience. Being out on this island all alone with no lights was pretty scary for me, but at the same time a magical experience. It is truly a beautiful place and the views of the Bay Area, from Oakland to San Francisco, to the Golden Gate Bridge, to Sausalito are absolutely breathtaking.
Professional Headshots are such an important investment in your career…and yourself. Not only can these pay off many times over in terms of new opportunities and bright career paths, but they help you see yourself in a new light.
Professional, poised, polished.
I had so much fun shooting this recent FIU grad on FIU’s beautiful campus. I looking forward to seeing this guy’s photos in all the research studies!
and just for fun…
This lovely family wanted a nature-filled photo shoot right here in Miami, so we packed up and headed to Kendall Indian Hammocks Park. It’s filled with pavilions that host lavish and extremely fun-looking birthday parties and baby showers with tiers of desserts and ponies!
But beyond the pavilions, in a quieter stretch of the park, there lies actual woods right in Miami. This would prove a perfect location for a nature-filled family photo shoot.
I’m not normally one for “tourist-y” spots…..oh, who am I kidding I love Disney and the Golden Gate Bridge. I found this trip to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk for one of their summer concerts at sunset to be goldenly-lit magical!
