The shared love and devotion to each other is what makes you a family.

Ileana is a modern matriarch-filling her home with love, support, encouragement, and care. I'm completely in awe of her servant heart! Even during the shoot, she was trying to assist me and Michael with our equipment while in her dress, hair, and makeup perfected. So much so that I had to send her inside when the sky started to sprinkle! I couldn't image a better scene and a better way to honor her and her beautiful family!



I am happy to create a painted portrait of the top image for the Santamaria family to have in their home to see every day, and enjoy for years to come!

Love, Julizza
