Leah Stafford | Mexico

Leah and I ‘met’ each other about 2 years ago through an online message board about Destination Weddings, because we both had one.  Leah has been a mentor to me through this last year and a half while I stumble and soar through photography.  She has also become one of my best friends.  I’m kinda weird and she gets my sense of humor.  Every time we get together we get the giggles…we’ve been threatened by flight attendants at 6am, received countless evil glares and we ALWAYS have great stories to tell after our adventures.  I’ve had the pleasure of assisting Leah at 2 destination weddings – the Bahamas last year and Cancun this week.  I’ve also been able to witness her boudoir magic in New York City.  She’s an amazing photographer and a dear friend.

Of course, when we get together we like to play cameras.  This time we actually got ourselves dressed up and shot portraits of each other. You can check out the photos she shot of me on her blog.

Photographing my friend was a lot of fun.  I also was able to try some new processing techniques to really bring out the feeling in each image.  Some of the images are a bit different from my normal style but I really like the artistic direction I have taken with them.  Please let me know what you think in the comments below.

Ok enough talking, PHOTOS!!

Love this smile.

We always meet new friends too…meet Daniel, he teaches ‘joga’ on the beach.  He wanted to hang out with us…so cute.
