The light and airy lifestyle photographer style is a classic, timeless approach that evokes a gentle, romantic, and joyful energy. However, not every photographer has this style, as each photographer is an artist with a unique vision. Today, I want to share a bit about myself and my photography style, so you can get to know the heart behind the lens.

Hey there! I’m Meivys, your go-to light and airy professional photographer in South Florida. Alongside my husband, I’ve been capturing beautiful moments for over a decade. We started fresh out of college with an engagement session, and I quickly fell in love with being a wedding photographer husband and wife team thereafter. Since then, our journey has been filled with love, laughter, and a passion for family photos and brand photography. I’m the type of woman who loves the smell of fresh flowers (tulips, anyone?), cafecito, powerful devotionals, and a fresh mani-pedi. Can I get an amen?

At M Suarez Photography, we specialize in creating light and airy photographs that capture the essence of your family’s personality and joy, you know the little things. Our style is all about using natural light, soft and bright tones, minimalistic backgrounds, and capturing genuine, candid moments. We get a lot of requests from people traveling into Miami and believe that this timeless style is perfect for preserving the precious moments of your family’s journey and love story, especially in our lovely sunshine state. It is our goal and our prayer that we’ve build a great experience for your family that is not just a photo shoot, but a memory of the early year. 

Key Elements of Light and Airy Photography Style

Natural Light: As a natural light photographer, I love using light to create dreamy, clean photos with the airy look you love. The golden hour just after sunrise or before sunset provides the best time for the softest, warmest light, perfect for capturing those special moments. When natural light isn’t sufficient, I use professional flash techniques to mimic natural light, ensuring your photos maintain that light and airy feel. It’s taken countless hours of studying light and my photography style to perfect it for you. 

Soft and Bright Tones: Light and airy photography features soft, pastel colors and bright tones. Whites, creams, and light pastels dominate the color palette, creating a clean and fresh look in your images. While this is most popular for wedding day photographs, we’ve taken that same airy look to our family sessions and branding sessions.

Minimalistic and Clean Backgrounds: This style uses minimalistic and clean backgrounds to keep the focus on you and your loved ones. The simplicity allows your emotions and expressions to shine through, creating meaningful and beautiful photos. I am looking for the simplest compositions the entire time so we can ensure distraction free images.

Natural Poses and Expressions: I believe that genuine, candid moments are the heart of light and airy photography. Whether it’s gentle touches or spontaneous laughter, I love capturing those authentic interactions that make your photos truly special.

Why Choose a Light and Airy Photographer?

Timeless Appeal: Light and airy photos have a timeless quality that you’ll treasure forever. These images will look beautiful and relevant for years to come, preserving the precious moments of your family’s journey.

Emotional Connection: This style captures the warmth and love in your family, creating an emotional connection between you and those who are viewing the photographs. It’s perfect for maternity and family sessions where sentimental moms are envisioning heartwarming images of this season of life.

Versatility: From scenic outdoor locations to cozy home settings, I adapt my style beautifully to various environments, with the uniqueness of your family at the forefront of my inspiration. Whether you’re having a maternity photoshoot at the beach or a family portrait in a beautiful Miami park, this style brings out the best in every setting.
