What’s better than a documentary-style newborn photoshoot? One with a surprise marriage proposal!

Last month, Leticia and Leo asked me to take photos of their newborn, Luna, in their home in Miami only six days after her arrival. Little did I know that Leo had something else planned for the day. As Leticia got ready for the shoot in another room, he flashed me the engagement ring! Needless to say, I was beyond excited to be part of this very special occasion.


But before Leo could propose, we had to do the newborn session first.


Leticia's inspiration for the kind of photos she wanted out of this shoot was from a vintage photo of her as an infant with her aunt. The old photo in question was timeless and evocative. A real treasure. However, instead of staging a scene that is exactly like it, I found that a more genuine approach is to let the family interact (with minimal direction from me) and capture the moments that define Leticia and Leo as new parents.
