A few weeks ago, he sent me an email with the wonderful news that a date had been set for his sister's wedding in Mexico; so, since it had been almost a year and a half since I had last visited, I decided to spend my weekend with his family. I had shot a Mexican wedding before, but it took place in America; so this time I was wondering what would be different about a real Mexican wedding. Since the Mexican are devoutly Catholic, the ceremony didn't deviate much from what I had already experienced, the only exception was the wearing of a giant rosary around the shoulders of the couple.

A few weeks back, I was assisting on a stock shoot at a winery just West of St Louis. The first set of models called for the shoot was a young and dynamic crowd, especially one of the girls. Always smiling and always laughing, I ended up talking to Latonya, the beautiful model presented below. It ends up that Latonya is from Germany which only sparked my interest in her and so I just had to have her back in the studio to shoot some headshots.
