Cristina @ Vizcaya

So this past Thursday, Cristina Alexa Morales and and I had a great shoot. Her mother took us down to Miami where we decided to risk shooting at the Vizscaya Mansion and Gardens without a permit, hehe. It was SUCH a lovely, amazing location and I really couldn't afford the $125 for the permit. Besides, the site said for Professional Portrait Photographers...hmm, I don't remember being a professional...! So we came in and saw that there were around nine other photographers doing sweet 16 and Quincenera shoots. We blended right in!

Cristina's mom doing a little grooming :)


A shot from the "Secret Garden"


And the fountains


A balcony..


And one of the many lovely staircases in the gardens


After that, we were going to go to Fairchild Gardens..we tried asking a few officers where it was

And no one knew.
So we opted for dinner at Mediterranean diner near south beach...


and the waitress found out from someone in the kitchen where the garden was. We went there, and it was deserted! So strange.

The rest of the night was spent at the shops on South Beach. Lots of interesting people in Miami...


And even better clothes shops. :) Anyone wanna buy me this? Only $1K.


More soon!
