Today, I want to talk to you about the importance of why authenticity in your portrait sessions matters.

If you have ever thought about investing in a Portrait Session for yourself, more than likely you are having photos taken because you want to celebrate something. You may be celebrating yourself, a milestone, or an achievement. When you surrender yourself to having your portrait taken, I personally think it is…

Ever wonder what modern headshots would look like? Look no further because I am here to show you that headshots are not meant to be dull and boring. Headshots should be full of personality and a true representation of your brand.

I recently got to photograph this beautiful soul, Celia D. Luna at The Warehouse Miami and we had a freaking blast! Celia is one of the most talented photographers I know, her portrait and editorial work is vibrant and inspiring. Every time I get together with her we have tons of laughter and fun. She is a true Artist. A strong centered Woman in her own right, full of life and vision.

From Erika: “I’d like this shoot to be a tribute to my mother and the new season I’m entering in my life. I’m about to turn 30 and I feel more like my mother then ever. I am proud of the woman I am becoming and the character that my mother instilled in me and left with me forever… I’d like to look back on these photos years from now, show my own daughter and tell her about the hard days I faced then, but the beautiful lessons I learned, and the woman I was becoming. I’d like her to see a woman who loves life, loves to laugh, who encompasses strength, faith and perseverance.” || Denice Lachapelle Photography, South Florida Boudoir & Portrait Photographer
