Very soon people will say "Long Bay is the new Grace Bay": a 3 miles long beach on the southern coat of Providenciales, with clear water with 2-4 foot depths going out thousands of feet. With no people in sight and plenty of space to play, Long Bay it's the ideal place for a beautiful family portrait.
I met Christine, Ruben and their adorable kids in the early morning, when the little ones are happy and full of energy. The spacey and luminous room of  Windchaser Villa Mistral served as "photo studio", while the magnificent beach offered us the perfect background for a lifestyle session.
"We are a fun group and have many personalities which will all come out. Trust me - you will never have so much fun shooting a family". Joy's introduction was right on the point! I happily captured a collection of fun family photos of the "8 J's and Veronica", while matching every word of Joy's description to each person.Â
To better describe the family feel, I want to use the phrase they shared with family and friends for the past Holiday Season: "Love your life and what you've been given. Search for your purpose and do it with a sense of gratitude and passion. Dreaming does matter. Laugh often. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Forgive, it free the soul. Recognize the special people you've been blessed to know. Live for today. Enjoy the moment."
First Thanksgiving and soon the Christmas Holidays: are you ready to send out your season greetings, write your letter to Santa, celebrate, and think about your New Year resolution? A beautiful family picture, taken in the world famous Grace Bay Turks & Caicos, can add the perfect touch of color to your card, email and gift. Sun-kissed and always fun, a beach family portrait stop moments in time, making your special vacation unforgettable.
"Love is composed by a single soul inhabiting two bodies." - Aristotle
Josh moved from Hawaii to Utah where he met Dan... and the rest is history. As simple as that.
The couple celebrated their wedding in Salt Lake City last Sunday: a beautiful backyard event, with a black, white and gold theme. They chose not to document their special day with a lot of pictures, but to treasure precious moments of their Turks & Caicos Honeymoon with a romantic photo shoot around the island. From Grace Bay, to Long Bay and Leeward beach: sunshine, clouds, a tiny bit of rain, crazy wind, crushing waves and an all lot of love.
Amelia, aka Millie for family and friends, is one of Attimi's very first model: she posed for my camera in March 2013, when she could barely stand and walk on her own. Her cute little face and contagious smile, helped promoting my business and encouraged families coming to Provo from all over the world to book my photography services.
Her parents, Niki and Steve, came to the Turks and Caicos as diving instructors, just like me. Over the years they built a family, a career, Provo Performing Art School, a great circle of friends and so much more.
5 years after their destination wedding, Patrycja & Seth are back on island for a Turks and Caicos family photo session. Their sweet love story grew into a beautiful family: Liam and Ava, the cutest, adorable, funny, little kids.
The couple's welcoming hug, the children smiles and simple joy of the moment, announced an amazing shoot. There is nothing better then to reconnect with clients, or better, dear friends, after a long time!
Before your life is changed forever, when countless sleepless nights are just a vague concept and your selection of clothes includes only the cutest - very impractical ones, treat yourself to a Turks and Caicos babymoon. Sunshine, sand on your toes, ocean breeze and salty water work like a charm.
Preeya and Akhil chose the Seven Stars on Grace Bay for their romantic, relaxing and unforgettable Turks and Caicos babymoon. I had the pleasure to meet and photograph them just a few hours after they landed on island, before any tan lines had the chance to show up on her perfect skin.
I'm very excited to share a few images from this amazing Senior Girl photo shoot Turk & Caicos. A beautiful young woman, with a great sense of style, a gorgeous smile, irresistible dimples, fun energy, the posture and elegance of a trained dancer: this is Rachelle.
The Seven Stars, where mom and daughter shared a bonding girls vacation, offered us the perfect background for a Senior Girl photo shoot: the green gardens, the fountain, the staircase, the beach dunes, the dock and the amazing beauty of Grace Bay beach and ocean.
A famous author once wrote: "I love family reunions. Maybe next year we could pass out samurai swords". That's because he never participate in a Turks & Caicos Family Reunion! 14 adults, 2 kids, 6 toddlers, one infant, 7 Stars, 1 boat trip, hundreds of family pictures and an unforgettable trip to the islands.
When Connie and Brian contacted me to photograph their family portraits and a fun day on the water, I was thrilled about it. But I admit it, I was also a little nervous: getting the attention of 8 kids, the oldest a 7 years old girl, is quite a challenge. Several hours with them got me to the conclusion that I could follow this family all around the world every time the get together - what a great group!
The Turks and Caicos Islands are fast becoming a dream destination for many people all over the world. Fashion designer, Marcela Malloy, and her husband Flavio, travelled all the way from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, to celebrate their wedding anniversary on the renowned Grace Bay beach.
Marcela wore a beautiful Arte Sacra | Couture gown from her own collection, evoking comfort, spontaneity and naturalness, signatures of the brand.
My Turks and Caicos photography travels the world, just like me ;-)
