Chanchen: Modern Mayan Village
In our first month here in Mexico we met an amazing woman named Yara, who told us the fascinating story of her project, an ankle accessory called Mayan Ook. She moved here to Playa del Carmen from Mexico city, where she was a successful lawyer, and got an idea to support and empower women in local secluded Mayan communities. These villages are very small, and men normally have to leave home to find work › VIEW FULL POST
The Amber Sun of Provence
Provence… It’s got to be one of the most amazing places on the planet! David and I spent some time in this amazing location two summers ago, and it was enough beauty to last for a lifetime!

Events: Eivan’s Birthday Party
This party was every kid’s dream: sunny day, swimming pool, Sponge Bob trampoline, lots of friends, great snacks, Spiderman piñata and Spiderman cake… This birthday party was also a photographer’s dream: when kids are busy having fun, it’s a great place to catch some amazing shots that are much harder to get without the genuine fun. The first shot also shows the location – this shoot also happened in Puerto Aventuras.

Family: Betzabhe & Anthony
This was a fantastic shoot of a fun beautiful mom and her very dreamy, shy and no less beautiful son. Watch out, girls, when he grows up, you’ll remember my words! )) This photoshoot also happened in Puerto Aventuras in January. We explored a beautiful beach, had some fun at Bamboo cafe and then at the school playground. This photoshoot lasted for 3 hours, and I was really happy it did, it is my favorite duration, and here’s why.

Portrait Session: Stella
This photoshoot happened also when we first moved to Puerto Aventuras… We met and befriended Stella in the local cafe called Bamboo, where we were drinking juices and soy lattes all day while working on our laptops and waiting for internet installation at home. Stella is from Argentina, as is her newlywed husband Andres, but they moved here to Rivera Maya and are enjoying their connection to Mexico. I’ll be sharing their wedding photos here soon as well.

Self-Portraits
I love self-portraits! And I do them so rarely, because, just as most people in the world, I am camera-shy (at least at first). However, this way I can test out new techniques without torturing another living being.

Puerto Aventuras
Most of these pictures were taken when we just moved to Puerto Aventuras – a small community 15 minutes South from Playa del Carmen. Life is very quiet here, as most properties here are vacation homes and are occupied only a few weeks in a year. We are lucky enough to live right on the beach, so you’ll see the view from our terrace. I am also sharing here a few pictures from the streets and cafes.

Gueberschwihr: Rock Climbing Nostalgia
I have started rock climbing when I was 14 and I have always loved doing it. However, it’s not always easy with my traveling lifestyle. I lived in many places where rocks suitable for climbing were simply not available. It is certainly the case at the moment as well. So, what else to do but to › VIEW FULL POST
Sofia & Emiliano
This was a wonderful shoot! The idea arose spontaneously, the same day, and we didn’t have a lot of time, but we did explore a few side-streets off Playa del Carmen’s Fifth Avenue and had a great deal of fun!

Tulum, Mexico
We loved our year in Brazil, and now it’s time to move on. Our next stop is Mexico, and first place we went to is Tulum. Amazing beaches here! Probably best I’ve ever seen, and it’s almost tough to photograph them – those who didn’t see the color of the water for themselves will think it’s photoshop! › VIEW FULL POST
