Stepping Into Spring with Gratitude and Joy

If you follow me, you know how much I love my job. Even after all these years, I’m still surprised by how excited I get when preparing to create beautiful new portraits for my clients. It is truly an honor and a privilege to be your photographer!

 

I’m also constantly in awe of my amazing team—the best in the world! I’m beyond grateful for Deb, our incredible studio manager, Kandy, our talented makeup artist, and Suzy, my oh-so-fabulous executive assistant. A special shout-out to Terri and Brayleigh, our incredible photoshoot assistants!

Vulnerable post ahead

Since our studio is committed to serving at the highest level, it’s tough when a client feels disappointed. In the rare times that happens, I have to remind myself that I’m not chocolate—so not everyone is going to love me. But when we go through our normal process of prepping a client for their session, and they still end up feeling anything other than excited, it makes me sad and disappointed.

Do You Feel the Temperature Rising? ☀️🔥

I know we’ve had such unseasonably cool weather in Florida—but this is your friendly reminder that here in Florida, we skip Spring (what’s that?) and jump straight into a hot, sticky summer. 

 

🌿 LAST CHANCE to get outdoor family portraits done comfortably! 🌿 

 

If you wait until after May, you’ll be standing in your beautiful clothes, feeling them stick to your skin, developing an upper lip sweat mustache, and as the camera clicks away, you’ll be regretting your life choices. 😉

The Five-Second Decision That Became a Lifetime Memory

The Five-Second Decision That Became a Lifetime Memory

My client, who we will call Sarah, had been thinking about booking a family portrait for years. Every time she saw someone else’s beautiful family photos, she’d tell herself, “We need to do that.” But life was always too busy. Work, school, soccer practice—there was never a perfect time.

“Maybe next season,” she thought. “After I lose a little weight… when things settle down… when we’re not so busy.”

But one day, while scrolling through her phone, she saw a reminder pop up: "Take family photos." And for the first time, instead of pushing it off, she made a snap decision. She picked up the phone and called Rinat Halon Photography

That moment reminded me why I love high-end businesses—not just for their top-tier services but for the way they make you feel. They treat you like a million bucks, and that’s exactly what we strive for at Rinat Halon Photography.

Luxury is in the Experience ✨

There I was, sitting in Privé Hair Salon, plastic wrap on my head, when Patrick the owner walked in. He took one look at me, grinned, and said, "You know, if you walked out on the catwalk wearing this during a fashion show, no one would even blink." Then, instead of rushing off, he sat with me for a few minutes, chatting and keeping me company.

The soundtrack of my dreams

The soundtrack of my dreams

Classical music has been a part of my life since childhood. My stepfather, a stage manager in a theater, loved listening to classical music. Every night when he got home, he would play a cassette tape of his favorite concert, filling our home with symphonies that became the soundtrack of my dreams.

The life changing portrait session

Our clients tell us frequently their portrait session with us changed their life. Truly, I heard it over and over again.

How can a portrait session be life changing, you ask?

You have to experience it to understand.
