Mexico En Tu Mesa

I am very excited to announce that the app that I shot photos for (lots and lots of photos!) is finally out… And it’s free! It is a Mexican recipe and ingredient database. Only in Spanish for now but hopefully in English soon. Here are some of my favorite shots from the app:

Caribbean Colors In Black and White

It is always a pleasure to exchange a cold New York winter for a warm Mexican one. The following images were taken in Tulum, Mexico… one of my favorite places. I wanted to try a different approach to beach photos and came up with the simple adjustment of no color. This beach is so pristine and being on the Caribbean the water is aqua blue, so black and white is a strange choice. But I really loved the results regardless:



Mariachi Academy Revisited

A few years ago (I can’t believe it has been that long!) I did a small project on the Mariachi Academy based out of Harlem, NY. They recently asked me to shoot some formal portraits of them for their promotional campaign, and here are some highlights for the shoot. A few of these kids can be seen in the previous series a bit younger. It was fun to seem them a little more grown up.



I was also VERY EXCITED to be able to take some portraits of Ramon Ponce Sr, the sort of patriarch of the whole organization.

Ashley + Travis

I was so happy to be able to shoot my best friend Ashley’s wedding this past winter. It’s amazing how beautiful photographs will just happen when you are doing a labor of love.  It was a beautiful, sunny day in Little Rock, Arkansas when her and Travis tied the knot… 

Ash getting ready for her big day….

The ceremony:

Just married!!!

A couple of shots of the bride in all her bridal glory….

Preacher man (actually he was just the officiant, but preacher man sounds nicer)….

Not quite sure why but I love this photo, but I really do. These are wedding guests watching the bride and groom cut the cake:

Lovebirds….
