The Bosque family — Claudia, Felix, and their sons Brandon and Danny — shot a retro-themed family portrait session with Acromatico at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum and Matheson Hammock Park in Miami, Florida, marking Claudia and Felix's 20th wedding anniversary the following month.
This was Acromatico's first family portrait session — a change of pace from the studio's engagement and wedding work, and one that turned out to be a lot of fun. The Bosques chose a retro theme mixed with park-and-beach action, starting the day at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum before heading to Matheson Hammock Park. Claudia and Felix were set to celebrate their 20th anniversary the month after the shoot.
Working with sons Brandon and Danny is what made the day: the studio came away realizing how much it loves photographing kids, especially ones this nice, funny, and charismatic, and loved the dynamic and connection the whole family shares.
“We realized that we definitely love working with kids, especially when they are so nice, funny and charismatic like Brandon and Danny.”
Good to know
The Gold Coast Railroad Museum sits in the Richmond Heights area of southwest Miami-Dade County, adjacent to Zoo Miami off SW 152nd Street. Its collection of historic locomotives and vintage rail cars makes it a natural fit for a retro-themed portrait session, with weathered metal, classic signage, and railway lines providing built-in backdrops.
Matheson Hammock Park is a Miami-Dade County park in Coral Gables, on the shore of Biscayne Bay. It is known for its man-made atoll pool that circulates with the tides, its tropical hardwood hammock, and its palm-lined waterfront. Pairing the two locations in a single day, as the Bosques did, lets a family move from industrial, vintage textures to open beach and bayfront light.
Both spots are in southern Miami-Dade and roughly a short drive apart, which makes a museum-to-park itinerary realistic in one outing. Families often check each venue's photography and entry policies in advance, since county parks and private museums set their own rules.
