Christmas is just around the corner and it's Holiday Time pictures for families, kids, couples and friends. Forget the snow, here in Turks and Caicos we celebrate under the hot Caribbean sun!

Last year I had the pleasure to photograph this beautiful family in Long Bay (click on Family Portrait to view it); I was excited to see them again and welcome them back to capture their family pictures at Royal West Indies, on Grace Bay. The kids changed so much in the past 12 months, still as cute as ever. 

When the work days get too long, the weather too cold, the daily routine too boring, it's time to escape and indulge in some romance at The Sands on Grace Bay. Turquoise water, sun, salty kisses, sandy toes and the pure pleasure of "Dolce Far Niente" (the sweetness of doing nothing). It has been a true pleasure to welcome back Simone to the Turks and Caicos and to finally meet "The" boyfriend, Dimitri. During the past two photo shoots, I capture her beauty with a collection of sexy pictures on the beach; last week love, laughters,  joy and romance filled my memory card.

How do you add a special Caribbean touch to your Turks & Caicos photo shoot? Gabriel chose to wear some beautiful jewelry from The Wellington Collection. A little kick of sea shells, pine cones, glass, sand, metal, create the simple fashionable style of Exclusive Accessories. All the way from Sao Paulo, Brazil, Gabriel loves to travel and to model as a hobby. Looking forward to his vacation at Grace Bay Club, he contacted me to capture a collection of beautiful pictures at the resort. "As I started checking your art, I got even more excited to go ahead with our plans. I love the light you use, seems like the skin glows" - with a little sentence, he made my day!

Sandra and Julio planned to board the Atabeyra, set sail for a private beach ceremony, enjoy food and drinks while cruising along the Turks & Caicos shores 'till sunset. But plans and dreams do not always come true. Hurricane Irma forced the couple to opt for Plan B: a simple and beautiful Leeward Beach wedding. The deserted beach welcomed the newlyweds and their friends for the intimate ceremony, while Mango Reef Restaurant hosted the dinner party. They were surrounded by turquoise water and the sunset colours... after all, dreams come true.

We are now three weeks post hurricane Irma and one week post Maria and pleased to report that most resorts along Grace Bay are open for business and taking booking for the upcoming season. The Tuscany Resort and The Venetian Resort are officially re-opening tomorrow, October 1st, with a special 40% discount for stays during the month of October. Be inspired by Laura and Evan's honeymoon shoot: sun, sea, love, fun, relax - a vacation of a lifetime.

It's a Turks and Caicos destination elopement that officially sealed Angelique and Dan's 20 years relationship. A sunny, hot, glorious August morning, the pristine Leeward beach, the cutout of their beautiful dogs and a big splash in the ocean - just like the dreamed about it. A shout out to the people that added a special touch to the wedding: Chrishell, Nila Destinations amazing planner; the one and only Pastor Sherlock Padmore; Shenique, Sheque Perfection talented hairdresser and makeup artist, Flowers by EA for the gorgeous bouquet.

Turks & Caicos Trash the Dress: my favorite! When I have 2 fabulous brides and 2 white dresses to soak in the turquoise Caribbean water, the fun doubles! Dannika and Ryann got married at the beginning of July and, instead of planning a big fancy wedding, they chose an intimate affair and two memorable photo shoots. The first one at home, on the big day, the second one during their honeymoon in Turks & Caicos. I love everything that's different, artistic, creative and beautiful. This Turks & Caicos Trash the Dress certainly has it!

In most cases it's mom that makes all the arrangements to book a  beautiful Turks Caicos Family Portrait, while dad simply "comes along". But what happens when dad is a passionate amateur photographer? He books a three hours session, stands as an assistant, gets all the images and, most important, he has a blast! This is the story of Dwight and his gorgeous girls. From Villa del Mar, in Grace Bay, to Long Bay and Leeward beach. A special afternoon spent together creating precious memories.

It's summer time! Time to travel, soak up the sun, relax, have fun and enjoy a beautiful vacation. It's also time to rock the beach body you worked so hard for, making it memorable with a collection of amazing Turks and Caicos beach photos. I had a blast photographing Shani and Danny! She is absolutely stunning and he's crazy about her. Together they chose her fabulous blue dress, the bikinis, the jewelry. Danny dreamed of his wife walking on the beach with a lace umbrella and little twinkle lights, so he created it - who doesn't love such a romantic man?!?

What's so special about a beautiful Ocean Club Wedding in Grace Bay, Turks & Caicos? Everything! That's why Karen and Garland chose to pronounce their wedding vows under the Caribbean sun. The closest friends and family members gladly accepted the invitation to travel to Provo, sharing the couple' special day. For Karen and Garland was love at first sight: she stepped into his office... and the rest is history. An easy going, gorgeous, lovely couple; they enjoy the simple life and most of all each other company. Wedding Venue: Ocean Club Resorts; Wedding planner: Chrishell, Nila Destinations; Reception Venue: Solana!; Flowers: Flowers by EA; Makeup Artist: Ann, Beauty and the Beach; Hair Stylist: Brigitte, Tangled Hair Salon; DJ: DJ Dayoh; Wedding Cake: Diane, Cake to Di For.
