Fuentes Stephanie Dance Project

In 2016 for Thanksgiving I spent the week in Miami with family. Though my initial reason for being there was to photograph a friend's elopement I made a secondary goal to photograph a dancer as part of my travel/dance series. You can see my first one from Boston here.

Through a friend of a friend, I had the absolute pleasure to meet and photograph Stephanie Fuentes. Stephanie is a Miami native, dancer and choreographer very eager to bring awareness to women power through the art of dance. She is also a lady boss, very funny and have an amazing presence to her.  Make sure to check out her website, link above, and show her some love on Instagram: @fsdanceproject

Our shoot in Wynwood Art District was very casual and easy going but I feel the images we created were powerful, beautiful and expressive. Enjoy some of my favorites below.

Maya | Dance in the City Project

In July I took a trip to Boston for some commissioned photography work and reached out to Maya (model and professional ballerina) to see if she'd be interested in collaborating on a dance session. She said yes and the rest was history. Maya is pure elegance and magic and SO absolutely easy to work with. My only regret is that we didnt have more time but I have a strong feeling that we'll be working together again in the future.

Below is my curated set from our shoot. If you've followed me on Instagram you've probably seen most of these since I couldnt stop posting, but if not then enjoy. 

Portrait of Belly Dancer - Destiny

I found out recently that belly dancers are super cool! Destiny reached out to me in need of images for her new website so we started to brainstorm. Destiny is not just a dancer but also instructor, mom, snake owner and loves muscles cars - hers had me drooling. However I soon realized there were too many ideas to complete in a single day. So we turned it into a two day shoot. In fact we still have a 3rd day scheduled for later this summer. Below is a just a small sample of my favorites from our two days of pure fun.

Enjoy.
