They say the days are long, but the years are short and time is the only thing we cannot buy, get back, or trade. With every year that passes, our children grow and change… There’s no better way to honor the blessing of your growing family than documenting special moments and seasons along the way.
Hey there! I’m Meivys, your go-to light and airy Miami Family Photographer. 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?
From one momma to another, I understand the importance of a relationship with a photographer whose style you love, who’s personality you connect with, who will guide you and will pray with and for you every step of your motherhood journey.
I cannot wait to get to know your beautiful family and provide the best photography experience!
Best Light and Airy Miami Family Photographer
A Sweet Note from our Client
“From the moment you reach out to the delivery of the photos, they are extremely client driven and thoughtful. I highly recommend Meivys & David for event and portrait photography. The images were exactly what we wanted. For our baby shower, we received a detailed timeline or run of show and they asked for specifics on “must have” photos. For our most recent portrait shoot, we were given awesome tips on what to wear, and an amazing Pinterest board with possible poses and ideas. We also love that the entire gallery of photos was made available to us digitally in less than two weeks. I have worked with other photographers, and this turn around time is unheard of! Simply incredible! So grateful to have these memories. Wishing Meivys & David continued success, thank you so much!”

On Location Family Sessions
On location sessions are typically photographed at golden hour for the softest, most beautiful glowy light. If you’re set on shooting on location outside of the studio, we will share our favorite places to go and the details as some places do have a fee to photograph there. We will guide you every step of the way to your dream session.
We travel to Broward, Miami, Palm Beach and occasionally Orlando.
In Studio Family Sessions
If you’re dreaming of a natural light studio that is equal parts timeless and inviting, our all white natural light studio will be a great fit for you and your growing family. The MSP studio is located in our home about 30 minutes from Miami and is exclusively available to our clients for maternity, newborn and family sessions.
In studio Miami family photography sessions are typically photographed between 10am and 2pm in the studio, but we can discuss when it would be best to accommodate for your session. When you book a studio session, you’ll have access to our collection of timeless props and a growing client closet for mamas with timeless, natural tones and flattering fabrics. You’ll also be able to get ready in the studio.
Our studio is located in Miramar, Florida.
Our Photography Style: Light & Airy
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 family pictures, but a memory of the early year.
Beyond my decade of experience with technical expertise as a professional photographer both in studio sessions and outdoor locations, I love to work with families and children. I was in a classroom for years and enjoy being surrounded by kiddos! When we shoot, parents can relax knowing that I am taking care of fun prompts, games and getting the attention of the kids.
The Process
1. Inquire
We want you to feel like we are the perfect match for your family! Because we understand how important your relationship with your photographer is, we start off our process by getting to know each other. Upon inquiring, we will send you an email and calendar link to set up our first meeting. During that virtual call, we share our values and photography style, get to know you and your dream session and ultimately determine if we’re a good fit.
2. Save the Date
Once we know we’re meant to be, we’ll send you the contract and payment schedule. Once those two are submitted, your session date goes on our calendar and we will begin planning all of the fun details! We’ll also share a personalized inspiration guide based on your dream session, discuss location options that best fit your vision, and connect you with our favorite, vetted beauty teams that are experts in a natural look.
3. Planning
If you’re worried about what to wear or what you need, how to prepare and all the things in between, don’t worry! We serve as your creative directors. We help you plan a session that will match the aesthetic of your home so that your prints & albums blend in perfectly, source outfits that are cohesive for everyone, and walk you through how to best prepare your family for an effortless & joyful experience during the session. We have even built a client closet for mama to pick from full of beautiful, functional and flattering pieces handpicked by me. We guide you on the best locations, recommend our favorite makeup artist, through to what would look great as wall art.
4. The Portrait Session
On the day of the session your only job enjoy the moment – you don’t have to worry about poses, untucked shirts, loose hairs, etc. I will coach you through entire session with prompts rather than poses so that we get natural , gentle, timeless images. If you have little ones, expect tickling, eskimo kisses, and lots of loving and laughter. My goal is always to ensure you are comfortable and soaking up the core memories you are building during the session.
5. The Gallery
You can expect your images to be done between 4-6 weeks, but we do our very best to get these back to you as soon as possible because we are soooo excited to share them with you. When the gallery is ready, we’ll send you instructions on how to download your favorite moments aka the photographs (for your collection of choice), as well as share our recommendations for heirlooms.
6. The Heirlooms
When your album and prints arrive, we inspect them and repackage them for you with so much love. As a photographer, I feel like my work is done when your photographs are displayed like art in your home or your albums and folio boxes on your coffee tables, all carefully curated for conversations and joyful storytelling.
The Investment
Every season of your life is so special because it will never be the same, ever again. Photographs are the only way to truly pause life in its present state and your story deserves to be documented, beautifully. Whether you are just starting your family or your family is growing, booking a photography session is an opportunity to slow down and enjoy as we pause life as it is right now.
Every session is photographed with love, care, and intentionality. With every collection, you’ll receive my time and talent, a detailed and personalized inspiration guide for your session, access to our client closet, professional image retouching and processing and a private online gallery to view the images.
We’re passionate about documenting life’s greatest milestones in a light, airy, timeless and minimal way so that you can collect heirlooms and share with your loved ones for generations.
Miami Family Portrait Photographer Investment begins at $300, but the average price for a client can range from $650 – $1,200

Prints & Luxury Albums
There is something so special about creating an heirloom collection.
We’re big fans of art prints and luxury albums. While it may have a lot to do with having albums and prints in our home growing up, it has even more to do with security and legacy. Technology is unreliable, but printed photographs will always endure and withstand the test of time. No matter how technology changes, or what we will face in the future, you will always have your family’s story in print and protected.
We can hold it, touch it, feel it, relive it, and share it. What a beautiful legacy we can leave the next generation.
If you haven’t already invested in heirlooms of your own, you’re in for a treat when you get your first one in your hands. However, we’re so passionate about helping you create your heirloom collection that you can always come back at any time and order one up to a year after you session.
Frequently Asked Questions
As our daughter grows… we know we want to document every season with a photographer whose style we love, who’s personality we connected with & who we trusted to guide us.
From one mama to another, I understand how overwhelming is can be to choose the right photographer for your family and there are so many questions!! You want to be guided, love how you look, and for everyone to enjoy the experience! – we totally get it! With so many people claiming to be professional photographers, it can feel hard to comb through your options and feel secure about your choice. With ourselves and our favorite clients in mind, we’ve crafted a personal and joyful experience that goes beyond hiring someone to hold a camera and take a few photos. Instead, we are here for you every step of the way – guiding you, cheering you on, laughing with you and making sure you feel your very best! Here are some questions we think you should ask any Miami family photographer before you hire them.. plus our answers!!!
Question: When should I book & when do we shoot?
Answer: depends on what your dream session is like
Photographers are booked out months in advance, so you’ll want to book as soon as you find the perfect fit for your family. Depending on your goals for you family’s session, you’ll want to book a minimum of 2 months in advance to give adequate amount of time to prepare without feeling rushed or pressured. We can discuss this on our first virtual call so you know what to expect. We help you plan out all of the details from outfits to location to which images to print for your hallway.
Question: What’s your photography style?
Answer: Light, Airy + Vibrant
Most photographers have a particular shooting and editing style, whether it’s light and airy, dramatic and heavy on lighting effects, or moody and dark, you’ll be able to notice consistency in their portfolio that will indicate what the final images will be. Whichever style you love, be sure to your photographer is able to deliver the style you want and always dreamed of. If you like a light and airy style, don’t book a moody photographer and vice versa. We suggest looking through the photographer’s portfolio and don’t sacrifice your preferred style for price! These are your FOREVER memories.
Question: Will you be the Miami family photographer for my session?
Answer: Absolutely!
This may sound like a silly question, but depending on the photography company, you may not always have the owners or lead photographers photographing your session. It’s important to ask this so you’re not surprised on the day with a photographer you haven’t met yet. We photograph all of our own sessions. We pride ourselves in building relationships with our clients; being there for them every step of the way and communicating expectations throughout every touchpoint.
Question: How long after the session will we receive our images?
Answer: Sneak Peeks within 24 hours, 4-6 weeks
This question can vary a ton! Photographers all have their timelines and you can’t rush art!, you know what I mean? We always provide our families with 24 hour Sneak Peeks and deliver your gallery between 4-6 weeks after your session. However, we know just how excited you are to see them and how excited we are to share them, so we try our best to get the images to you ASAP!
Question: Can i book you for more than just family photos?
Answer: Yes, of course!
We love to nurture relationships and grow with a family. In the first year we can capture Maternity Sessions, Newborn Session, and Milestones such a s 6 months and 1 year family portraits. Then as the child(ren) grow, we can continue to document your family’s beautiful story. We also photograph extended family sessions! Not only will the entire family feel more comfortable if we already know each other, but you’ll be sure that all your memories will be consistent and documented in the same way with a photographer whose style you love, who’s personality you connect with, who will guide you and who you trust.
