One of the most beautiful sunsets that I've experienced all year was a couple of weeks ago right here in my home town. I took a trip over the the Loxahatachee Everglades after a bout of bad rain storms that kept everyone inside for a few days, had passed. The horizon was dull and blue then in a matter of moments, the sky lit up in a blaze of orange, reds, and pink. It lasted only a few minutes, and in that time i snapped furiously with my camera and got some pretty amazing pictures. Each second was a different sky from the next. One of these photos was even featured on the local News. It was so beautiful that I took a large panoramic with over a dozen pictures, which were then stiched together in post for a whopping 16,000 magapixels wide picture.  Check out the great time lapse i captured as well!

  Saturday April 26th 2015 was the North Beach Art Gallery Annual car galla and benefit for the Joe DiMaggio Hospital here in South Florida. It was hosted by Brooke Trace and was a wonderful event! There were lots of cars to enjoy but most importantly, the Gallery hosted a silent auction and raffle and all the proceeds went to the hospital. The other stores in the plaza set up tables to sell their own pieces of art and merchandise, and we had fabulous pin girls and body painted girls for everyone's entertainment. The tunes were also flowing with Slip and the Fallouts providing the music. Check it all out below! Dont forget to come follow me on facebook at www.facebook.com/larenpix

I walk through the different parks around my home town quite often. Since I have a deep love for the Everglades as well, I try to find all the different ways that i can get a view of it. From lovely parks with trails and sidewalks to a backwards dirt road. Trust me...there here in South Florida, hidden, like little gems.

I had the pleasure of working with Miami Greens Screens in order to photograph the Celebrity Cruise line booth at the Broward convention center for the Cruise3sixty event!. They had the most amazing set up, and by far the most exciting and most viewed booth of the convention. Check out the pictures below!

 I recently had the pleasure of doing a photo session for the beautiful Miss Marina Elaine. I mostly shoot outdoors, even my portraits. My home studio is something left to be desired, but I made it work between borrowing some lights and my Photoshop skills, they came out quite lovely.  I loved the look so much, that I have begun upgrading my studio, starting with some new lights! I went for a Vargas style lighting, which if your unfamiliar, is a very high key type of lighting. Very bright and saturated as in the style of photographer Roy Varga 

Check out this epic timelapse of a Storm coming in off the Everglades on 4-18-2015. I took this with my Nikon D5100

This past weekend on the 11th was my birthday! As a treat, I begun my first leg of the Everglades loop, which I plan to eventually travel the entire span of. The weather was beautiful and the skies clear, which made for some very beautiful photos!
