Portrait Session with Carla Hill in Miami Herald

One of my favorite shoots - capturing the wonderful Cara Hill in Miami.

Carla  has a long and distinguished career as an educator and recently joined the prestigious Ransom Everglades School in Florida , in the just-created post of Director of Inclusion and Community Engagement. Since her earliest years in Miami, she has worn many hats and borne many labels. She served as an outreach manager. She is a breast cancer survivor. She was teacher of the year. A mental health counselor. Miami Dolphins cheerleader. Arts program director. Non-profit board member. 

She previously worked at the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center as Education and Outreach Manager; the National YoungArts Foundation as Director of National Programs; and Family Counseling Services of Greater Miami as Program Manager. She also worked as a language arts teacher at New World School of the Arts – her high school alma mater – and Hammocks Middle School. She earned her bachelor’s degree at Florida State University and master of science in mental health counseling at Barry University.

I love the styling on this shoot and the way her clothes and energy matched perfectly to the bright colorful background locations we found. Such a great example of true Portrait and Personal Branding shoot !
