We are so lucky to have amazing clients who turn into friends and call us year after year to photograph their families. It’s so fun to watch these boys grow! Elise and Giovani have hired us for many years, and we have done lots of headshots for their company. I can not believe that their two boys are already pre-teens! You can see their first beautiful family sessions through the years here and here.
We were also happy to take some photos at their new beautiful restaurant Otto’s High Dive in the Milk District of Orlando!
As eclectic photographers, we know that you can create a fantastic photo shoot just about anywhere, but a beautiful location puts the icing on the cake. That’s why it was such a treat to meet up with lovely Isabella at the beautiful Kraft Azalea Garden in Winter Park.
Isabella is a sweet and smart senior who’s looking forward to graduating and beginning her path to adulthood. She’s an easygoing and relaxed teen, so to capture her casual vibe, we took many of her portraits in her signature look: jeans and a sweatshirt. To make sure we had some dressier portraits, though, Isabella donned a flowy sunflower dress that looked absolutely beautiful.
One of the most fun aspects of senior portraits is capturing elements of our client’s personalities in their photos. With Isabella, this was easy. We made sure to highlight one love of Isabella’s life in her senior photos: her adorable dog. This pup was so cuddly and fun, and we loved capturing some special bonding time between these two.
Isabella is a highly talented track star as well. We made sure to pay homage to her beloved sport by featuring her running shoes in her portraits. We’re sure that Isabella will continue to have many more accomplishments as an athlete, and these photos can be a treasured memento of this time in her journey.
Of course, we also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take advantage of the gorgeous gardens around us. We created a variety of portraits among the vibrant flowers and trees, and Isabella looked like an absolute dream in the garden’s stone monument.
Senior portraits are all about customization, and we create a one-of-a-kind photo session for every client. To book a senior portrait session for yourself or your teen, contact The Canovas Photography today.
Part of the reason I love proposal photography is that I’m such a sucker for happy surprises. Who doesn’t love seeing the delighted amazement on someone’s face when they see that the person they love most in the world is asking them to spend the rest of their lives together?
With Jess and Matthew, I was thrilled to be able to capture such excited and joyful shock on Jess’s face, and I have to say, Matthew, pulled off an amazing surprise! Matthew is actually a photographer as well as a videographer and a VFX artist. Jess is a model and often poses for Matthew in pieces for his portfolio, so she didn’t suspect a thing when Matthew asked her to go with him to Kraft Azalea Gardens for a photoshoot, or even when he asked her to turn around for a pose. But when she turned back around and saw him in front of her on one knee, she was ecstatic! We were waiting in the wings to step in and photograph their special moment.
This beautiful Orlando couple is inspiringly artistic. In addition to Matthew’s work in photography, videography, and VFX, and Jess’s work as a model, Jess is a poet as well. The two of them just exude beautifully creative energy, so I couldn’t wait to incorporate some artistic flair into their engagement photos. I especially love the dramatic photos of the couple at the waterfront, surrounded by trees and plants that seem to embrace them as much as they embrace each other.
Of course, we have to talk about that ring too – it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love that Matthew stepped outside the box and chose a ring he clearly knew his new fiancée would adore, and it made for some tremendous engagement ring photos.
If you’re planning a proposal in the Orlando area, I can’t wait to chronicle your special moment. To book your proposal photography session today, contact our photo studio!
