Branding sessions are always a great way to connect with clients and help them bring their vision to life, but Erika’s session felt like something truly special. When Erika reached out, she expressed her desire for a gallery of images that she could use over time—an array of photos that would showcase not only her professional side but also her warm and dynamic personality. What followed was a day full of joy, creativity, and a few surprises along the way.

A Family Affair

Erika booked a breathtaking studio in the heart of Miami for the session, and from the moment we walked in, the energy was electric. She arrived with her mother and daughter, who were there not only to support her but to add their own magic to the day. They helped Erika get ready, adjusted outfits, and even created fantastic behind-the-scenes footage. Their presence brought a level of intimacy and fun that you don’t often see during these sessions—it instantly felt like a family celebration.

One of the most memorable moments came when I turned the camera toward these three incredible women. They started dancing together in the studio between outfit changes and behind-the-scenes clips. The pure joy in their movements and laughter was contagious. I couldn’t resist capturing that energy, which led to a beautiful generational photo of Erika, her mother, and her daughter. Seeing the connection between them in that image will stay with me for a long time.

Seven Stunning Looks

Erika’s vision for the shoot was spot-on. She came prepared with seven unique looks, each offering a new layer of her personality. From polished and professional to chic and approachable, every outfit added depth to her brand story. The studio was the perfect backdrop for these transformations, giving us the versatility to create images that felt fresh and dynamic for every ensemble.

What struck me most during the session was how effortless Erika made it all seem. But she would probably tell you otherwise—that’s where I step in to make sure the process feels enjoyable and stress-free, even for people who might not typically love being in front of a camera.

Erika left this wonderful review that speaks to the heart of what I aim to provide for every client:

"I found Alekandra while looking for a photographer to do a brand photo shoot in South Florida and I am so glad. Not only did she take absolutely fabulous pictures, she made the experience so stress-free and enjoyable (I do not always like taking pictures). Alekandra also recommended a great location and an amazing makeup artist. All I had to do was show up and then get an amazing gallery in a very short time. AND, her pricing is very reasonable. Thank you so much Nine One Four Photography. It was a pleasure to work with you."

A Fun and Effortless Experience

It’s words like these that mean the world to me. Helping people feel at ease and making the process as seamless as possible is always my priority. From offering location suggestions to connecting clients with talented makeup artists, I love creating an experience where all they have to do is show up—and I’ll take care of the rest.

With Erika’s session, everything came together beautifully. The mix of stunning outfits, the energy in the studio, and the love shared between her family members made the day unforgettable. I’m so grateful to have been part of her branding journey and to help her capture images that will represent her for years to come.

Thank you, Erika, for trusting me with your vision and inviting me to be part of such a joyful chapter in your life. And thank you to all my clients who continue to celebrate their stories with Nine One Four & Co.. It’s always a pleasure to create memories that last a lifetime.
