L is for...

LOVE

That is what I thought as I was leaving this family session. I loved everything about it. The beautiful weather, the tall yellow flowers, the big shady trees, and this absolutely beautiful family. The 3 year old did some posing of her own, saying "cheese!" each time, and saying "peek-a-boo!" to her baby sister to get her to laugh. Sessions like these reminds me of how much I love my job!

Romano Sneak Peek

I can't help but smile every time I look at this baby. With those baby blues, and that little smirk of his, he's got my heart for sure!

Check 'em out!

This family rocked our photo session. Little Sruli has the sweetest smile and the funniest expression! He did the first photo all by himself!

A little Baby Lovin'

I photographed an Upshernish- the hair cut celebration for a 3 year old boy- today, and just had to share this picture of this cute bundle of love.

I call it "Baby Love". Who could resist those baby blues?

Not me, that's for sure!

Bavaro Bris

Thank G-d I've been busy this past month! With family portraits, children, babies, Bris Milah's, and just for funs- I have loads of sessions to edit and post for sneak peeks!

Here is the Bavaro Family. This little 8 day old boy was born good lookin' , and you can see for yourself :)

LAY’S® Happiness Exhibit Winner- RIVKA PHOTOGRAPHY!

I entered this photo contest about 2 months ago for LAY’S® Happiness Exhibit. Your image has to portray happiness, love, laugh, and life. Out of thousands of photos entered into the contest, my photo was chosen to advertise their campaign! The final ad will be finished soon, and once I get my hands on it, I'll definitely post it up :)

Z Family sneak peek

I was blessed to photograph some really awesome families during this visit to New York, and the Z family really nailed the list of "Fun Photo Shoots"! Everything about this session was pure luck- the kids were super cute, the flowers were in full bloom, and it started to rain 2 minutes after we left! These kids can make you laugh even when the sky is full of ready to pour clouds :)

Cherry Blossoms

With this visit to New York, it it the first time I've seen cherry blossoms in full bloom. As we lack them in Florida, New york seems to have them on every street corner. The other day, I went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens with my family and I had a blast photographing my niece in beds of tulips and daffodils. As I was walking around I was getting photo ideas for a family I photographed earlier today. Coming soon: The Z family :) Cute to the T!

*This Cherry Blossom print is available in Fine Art Canvas prints for your home art. Contact rivkaphotography@gmail.com for custom prints and prices*

Super Star

That's what my niece is- a real super star. Whenever I bring my camera out with us and turn it on, she right away strikes a pose. This is natural. No telling her what to do- nadda. She loves her star sunglasses, and won't leave home without them now. She calls them her "Boo's" :)

New print available

Tropical Hibiscus print is now available in Fine Art Canvas in sizes 8x10, 11x16 and 16x20. Email rivkaphotography@gmail.com for custom sizes and prices.

Blue eyed beauty

This gorgeous little girl shows her soul and personality through her eyes. They are gorgeous and clear, intelligent and full of youth! Had so much with her, and we already booked another date together- can't wait!

Beach Day

Everything about this photo shoot was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! The weather here in South Florida was very agreeable, a sunny, breezy 65 degrees. These girls (and mother behind the scenes) were out of this world fun! Hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I had shooting with them.
