Enter Miami photographer Pipe Yanguas, whose passion is to capture them and make them last forever.<\/p>\n<p>For Yanguas, what began as a teenage hobby in photography has since blossomed into a career of commemorating life\u2019s most precious memories. After studying at the renowned private school Isituto Europeo di Design in Milan, Italy for three years, he started his own Miami company called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thephotobiographer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The PHOTObiographer<\/a> in 2010. He\u2019s since become one of the Magic City\u2019s most sought-after lifestyle photographers, and he now offers his services to guests at Acqualina through an exclusive Acqua Experience, \u201cPhotoshoots with Pipe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11866 alignnone lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pipe_Yanguas.jpg\" alt=\"Pipe Yanguas\" width=\"730\" height=\"390\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pipe_Yanguas.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pipe_Yanguas-300x160.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 730\/390;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11866 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pipe_Yanguas.jpg\" alt=\"Pipe Yanguas\" width=\"730\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pipe_Yanguas.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pipe_Yanguas-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>In each and every photoshoot, Yanguas employs his distinctive talents behind the lens to focus on what matters most in people\u2019s lives. To him, this doesn\u2019t mean merely documenting the major milestones like you\u2019d expect, such as a wedding or graduation photographer. Rather, he focuses on the free-spirited happiness that arises in day-to-day life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is most important to me is to let people be themselves,\u201d says Yanguas. \u201cIf they feel like being goofy, or sexy, or playful, or laughing out loud, it is all valid and awesome. As long as they let their personality show, it is perfect!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11905 alignnone lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family_Couch.jpg\" alt=\"Kids on a red couch in Miami, Florida\" width=\"730\" height=\"390\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family_Couch.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family_Couch-300x160.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 730\/390;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11905 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family_Couch.jpg\" alt=\"Kids on a red couch in Miami, Florida\" width=\"730\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family_Couch.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family_Couch-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>And, of course, Acqualina\u2019s seaside haven is a place where these joyous moments abound, creating an opportune environment to live in the present and stage the perfect family photos that guests will cherish for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s already a paradise, so I just encourage them to wander around and let me follow them with my camera. I guide them in terms of lighting and spots, but in general I like to pursue all the spontaneous situations that a family would enjoy in their holidays,\u201d says Yanguas. He adds that his favorite spots to shoot around the resort include its pool areas, its trademark red sofas, its human-sized chess board, and of course, Sunny Isles Beach itself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11906 alignnone lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Chess.jpg\" alt=\"Boy jumping with giant chess piece in Miami, Florida\" width=\"730\" height=\"390\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Chess.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Chess-300x160.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 730\/390;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11906 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Chess.jpg\" alt=\"Boy jumping with giant chess piece in Miami, Florida\" width=\"730\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Chess.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Chess-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>No matter where the oceanfront template leads his subjects, Yanguas is always poised to capture every step of their candid exploration in real time. With the pressure of a formal staging removed from the equation, the result is a series of natural, unforced images that portray fun, laughter, and most importantly, a true rendering of the heart.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Yanguas, early mornings are the best time to schedule a shoot. Not only do they provide ideal lighting as the sun rises over the Atlantic, but they also tend to offer a clearer backdrop to frame shots before other guests emerge to meander the grounds. The most important thing to keep in mind before a photoshoot, he says, is to be well-rested. As for attire, he likes to encourage guests to wear what they love.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11907 alignnone lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family.jpg\" alt=\"Family on the beach in Miami, Florida\" width=\"730\" height=\"390\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family-300x160.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 730\/390;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11907 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family.jpg\" alt=\"Family on the beach in Miami, Florida\" width=\"730\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Family-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put a lot of value in the authenticity of each person,\u201d he says. \u201cNevertheless, if they want to do an all-white, or coordinated outfits, it is always beautiful as well, and if that\u2019s something they like then I love it too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, those wanting to arrange the ideal look can visit the recently-debuted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/spa\/acqualina-boutique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Acqualina Boutique<\/a> located inside the Spa, where the resort\u2019s new expert consultant will help curate the latest fashions from luxury brands like Alexandra Miro, Vilebrequin, Gemma Hesterbly, Miguelina, and SUNUVA.
