Sam inspired Kristiaan and I a few years ago for her and Luke's engagement session. Kristiaan came up with the idea of levitating her and together (all 4 of us) we made it happen along with plenty other amazing images. See the proof here. make sure you visit that link
Fast forward 2 years and a few conversations later I was able to work with Sam again. While levitation was not something I was going for I did try and get something a little on the moody side with a hint of darkness.
In March, Kristiaan and I took my parents to Playa Del Carmen and Tulum [Mexico] for a week. Amidst the days of micheladas and relaxation I spent two days walking around town looking for simple city life.
Much harder than it sounds.
I would see an interesting scene and be too timid to approach and photograph it like it deserved. Or when I did, I would cause my subjects to become camera aware. Tough balance, but I'm working on it. Unfortunately I took the "easy" route by letting myself get distracted by textures, shapes and pretty colors. Below are just a few of my favorites and just found out my "soccer" image was accepted by Vogue IT for "Pics of the day". You can see it here.

Over the last month we've been cooking with Blue Apron which inspired me to start photographing our meals. While the two images below were not from Blue Apron they were made by the mother. I asked her to call us when she's making picture worthy meals, not that its the only time we get to visit, but I told her I would start photographing them for her.
Last night, for appetizer, she made Butternut squash raviolis w/ brown butter sage sauce (first image). Main course was Broiled lamb chops w/ Rosemary boiled potatoes, string beans & mushroom's. Roll-your-eyes-divine flavor!
