Clamp Family Portrait

Natalie Clamp is the owner and creator behind Chic Sweets. Her unique dessert tables and talent for using her imagination to bring forth new and exciting ideas have made her the sought-after designer in West Coast Floridais the owner and creator behind Chic Sweets.

From a young age, Natalie had a passion for “sweets” and loved to entertain for her friends and family, perfecting her “candy tables.” After graduating from the University of Florida, she worked in the nonprofit sectors, specializing in program coordination, fundraising, and program development. After several years, Natalie decided it was time to return to turn her creative passion for entertainment and party planning and that is how Chic Sweets was born!

I was honored to create the Clamp family portrait which includes Natalie, her husband Steve their three boys: Spence, Carson and Brendan.

A super sweet thank you note from Katelyn and Brett Boggs

A super sweet thank you note from Katelyn and Brett: (We just LOVE our clients and what we do!!!!!)

Hello Rebecca,
I was just thinking about you and i completely forgot to Write a thank you letter( This is what happens when your brain is bombarded by too many things! :-D) So here goes:

Rebecca and Michael,

Having you take our wedding photos was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever ventured into. After meeting Michael for the first time a year and a half before our wedding, we knew that we had to have both of you shoot our photographs no matter what. Michael was one of the nicest of people we have ever met. He was extremely friendly, kind, and flexible which are all great attributes to have. Needless to say we went home that night and did not have to discuss one word because we knew that we had found our match. After gloating to all of our friends and family that we had found our photographers, mentioning all of the amazing characteristics that they had, they were able to see proof after our engagement session. Once the wedding came, it was nice not being told where to stand our what to do yet we got the most amazing pictures. All-in-all Michael and Rebecca, were an amazing addition and memory along with friends that we had made in our journey to becoming a married family.

Now after saying all of this i want to take the time to say you both were flawless and made our day that much more amazing. Our pictures make me cry whenever i see them, especially where my dad was crying and Rebecca, you got it all on film so that i can look back and remember it all and cry again! I am so happy that we ended up choosing you both because we all meshed so well. The album came out amazing and to be honest i am so happy that i had NOTHING to do with it because Rebecca you have excellent taste! it is gorgeous! Once again, thank you! i recommend you to everyone and anyone who wants to remember every special intimate detail about their Cinderella day!

With Love,
Brett and Kate Boggs

Fontaineblue on South Beach in Miami

I had the opportunity to photograph a portrait session at the amazing and fabulous Fontaineblue on South Beach in Miami. This hotel exudes the essence of the feeling of Miami: glamorous, chic and sexy. Barak Mizrahi is the talented artist that styled the hair and makeup for our beautiful model Shawn.

Spotlight Awards: Viva Las Vegas!

Michael and I attended the Spotlight Awards hosted by Event Solutions in March in Las Vegas. We stayed at the beautiful Paris Hotel. These are some images I captured while we toured around the city.

The green piano actually belonged to Michael Jackson! And the Bible is an original from the 1600's. AMAZING!
