Portrait Photography Session in Mazunte

Photographing Miss Universe 2019 in Mazunte was unforgettable — a session that captured so much of what I love about working along the Oaxacan coast, where light, presence, and quiet strength shape the frame.

From the moment we began, she brought a calm clarity — a grounded self-assurance that transformed the shoot into something deeply collaborative. Her physical beauty was undeniable, but it was her ease, openness, and willingness to be fully seen that made each image come alive.

It’s rare to witness someone so completely in harmony with themselves. This session reminded me why I do this work — not just to document someone’s image, but to honor their essence in a way that feels lasting.
