I met Nicole Pace first on Model Mayhem, a really talented hair and make-up artist who wanted to collaborate – I was thrilled! It took us about 6 months for us to finally get together – she had some amazing ideas. I thought it would be fun to work with a fashion designer as well as to showcase Nicole’s work. I met Alejandra Valiant for Ale G Design who had some beautiful clothing and was on board for the shoot at Orange Studio in downtown Orlando. Tying up the perfect day was gorgeous model Julia Vivian who made all our work look so lovely! So much fun to play all day and bring out my favorite passion of all things fashion. Thank you so much Nicole, Ale and Julia for making this happen. Can’t wait for our next shoot! xo
Orlando Fashion Design and Photography by The Canovas Photography
The best thing about personal work is that it is all ours. We have only ourselves to please. We think it is so important for all artists to do work for themselves, we work so hard for others: make sure their portraits, weddings and designs are all what they want, perfectly done. We love what we do and take so much pride in our work. So now we are sharing some our more creative work. I wanted to try some moody black and white portraits and Courtney wanted to play with triple exposures and montage art. Thank you to our friend and fellow photographer – beautiful model Kaitlin. See her work here.

I am so lucky to have such good friends – especially those like Rachel, a talented photographer (see Rachel V Photography here) who asked us to take photos of her and her husband Stephen (and don’t foget Sophie!) for their annual Anniversary portraits. Especially fun was to photograph Rachel with her baby bump – due in April! Happy Anniversary Rachel and Stephen and congratulations on your new beautiful family!

One of our privileges as Oviedo Photographers is watching children grow up through our lens. Isabelle is one our favorite models. We have been photographing her since she was a baby – these are some of my favorite portraits of her! They show her sweetest little four-year-old heart – whimsical, charming, finding joy in the littlest things like following a butterfly and chasing our cat, Prudence. I just clicked away as she just was being her sweet self.
Hope you enjoy these photos of her on this Christmas Eve! Happy Holidays Everyone xo
A Florida Christmas
T’was the night before Christmas, and all through the town,
No noses were frozen, nor snow on the ground.
No children in flannels were tucked into bed,
They all wore their shorty pajamas instead.
To find wreaths of holly was not very hard,
For holly trees sprouted in every backyard.
In front of the houses were daddies and moms,
Decorating hibiscus and coconut palms.
The slumbering kiddies were dreaming with glee,
Hoping to find surf boards under the tree.
They all knew that Santa was well on his way,
In a fiberglass boat instead of a sleigh.
He whizzed up the rivers, zoomed up the canals,
Delivering toys to good boys and gals.
The tropical moon gave the cities a glow,
And lit the way for Santa below.
Quite soon he arrived and started to work,
He hadn’t a second to linger or shirk.
He jumped from his boat and gave a wee chuckle,
He was dressed in deck pants, with an ivy league buckle.
There weren’t any chimneys, but that caused no gloom,
For Santa came in through the Florida room.
He stopped at each house but stayed only a minute,
As he emptied his sack of the toys that were in it.
Before he departed he had a long drink,
From the glass of fresh orange juice left by the sink.
He turned with a jerk and jumped into his boat,
Knowing that he still had more toys to tote.
He put it in Gear and he opened the gas,
Then up the Peace River he went like a flash!
And I heard him exclaim as he went on his way:
“Merry Christmas, Orlando, I wish I could stay
