location:Kennedy Park, Miami-The Green Diamond Condominium,Miami Beach-Spris Restaurant,Miami Beach
Jessica and I met in Tully Gym…in the basement…just a few days into our degree program of Recreation Management & Event Planning. We did projects together, suffered through evaluation class…and went to countless parties at Rob’s house, along with the rest of our classmates:) Jessica now works for Paint the Town Red in New York City….and when she knew she was coming back home to Miami recently, she asked if I’d come to down to take their first family picture. FIRST!
I was stunned…but so excited ofcourse, because Jess is a doll..truly. Which could ONLY mean that her family was going to be just as amazing…and they were:) Even though Mr. Gattas was very wary of my camera lens, by the end of the shoot I felt like we were friends! And they certainly know the way into my heart, because they took Ben and I out for pizza afterwards..the best in Miami! Gattas’, we are so appreciative of your generosity and your warm welcome! We had so much fun and are hoping it wont be the last time we hang out! Enjoy the pictures!
*Jess, I’ll be talking to you soon! (wink wink)
the lobby of their condo was unbelievable!
I loved the walls and couches and lighting…
Kennedy Park had GREAT trees, and the light was super yummy the whole time we were there….
I love this series…
These next shots were taken by Ben…I’m in LOVE with how well he was able to capture Jess’ parents. THANKS BABE:)
I love this running shot! It’s always neat to see the shot from the OTHER angle..and I liked it better:)
And a sweet moment between dad and daughter…
Thanks so much for literally spending 5 hours with us guys! We had a blast!
this is probably your best family shot to date. Ikid you not- your lightingis perfect and you feel the love of this family.
i think you’re uuber fabulous.

ps. i thought you’d have a mini heart attack when you saw my name (jordan*) haha
Beka you are so amazing(you to Ben)! You do such a great job of capturing the moment instead of posing(lame). I am so looking forward to our shoot in August!
these pictures are absolutely fantastic. I have a friend that lives at the Green Diamond and the lobby is INCREDIBLE, but it stands out even more in the photos.
These are awesome! I CAN’T WAIT to meet you this weekend at Dawn and Bob’s wedding! Please make me look this good.
