Creating Timeless Memories: A Rosewood Mayakoba Family Session

Deshi, with her warm smile and infectious energy, reached out to me about capturing her beautiful family while they vacationed at the luxurious Rosewood Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Their vibrant, South Asian heritage and the fact that they call the hustle and bustle of New York City home immediately resonated with me. As a photographer, I adore the opportunity to document the unique stories of families from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

The Rosewood Mayakoba, nestled within pristine nature reserves, became our playground for the session. Its lush tropical setting, winding waterways, and stunning beachfront provided exquisite backdrops for this beautiful family’s portraits. Their joy was palpable—it radiated through their smiles and echoed in their laughter. We chased the golden hour’s light, capturing candid moments of laughter-filled play between parents and their adorable children. I focused on those in-between moments: a soft embrace, a stolen kiss, the twinkle in a child’s eye. These are the fleeting yet timeless treasures that photographs hold.

What sets a family photo session apart is that spark of connection. It’s my absolute joy to watch families let their guards down, play, and simply revel in each other’s presence. Whether you’re a South Asian family, a New Yorker seeking respite in paradise, or simply anyone who craves beautiful memories of your unique family bond, I’m here to make it happen.

The session ended with sandy toes, sun-kissed skin, and hearts brimming with happy memories. Deshi and her family left not only with stunning portraits but with an experience they’ll cherish forever.
