A few weeks ago, I donated a couple's photo session to a charity auction hosted by KKIS Project, an amazing nonprofit that helps under-resourced kids get access to education in Playa del Carmen.I didn’t know who would win it, but I knew I was giving from the heart.Because yeah—when you can help with what you love to do, you just do it.


That’s how Jeff & Shannon appeared.A couple who met right here in Playa… and ended up having one of the most fun, steamy, emotional sessions I’ve done lately. One of those where time disappears, and the camera stops existing.



🪷 We started on Calle 38 & 5th Ave


If you know Playa... you know. That street has something 🔥Wild tree roots, perfect shadows, tropical chaos, vines growing wherever they want. It's not polished, it’s not curated—it’s real. And the perfect place to start things easy.


Jeff was nervous 🙈He had no idea what to do with his hands or his face. Shannon just laughed at him sweetly like, “baby, relax.”And I knew—it always happens at first… and it always fades in 10 minutes when there’s good guidance.


I kept it super simple:"Look that way… now look at her… hug her… switch sides… breathe…"And between movement and laughter, they loosened up.


Then I dropped my go-to line:✨ "Shannon, don’t turn around. Jeff… surprise her."

And he did.He walked up behind her, hugged her, touched her face, kissed her neck.She closed her eyes.And just like that, we weren’t in a shoot anymore. It became something else. Deeper. Realer.And I was behind the camera, silently freaking out from how perfect it was 🤭


Then we headed to the beach — Shangri-La vibes


Once we got there, I smiled and said:"Now this… is where it gets good."

That part of Playa is gorgeous—outside a boutique hotel with palm palapas, tropical trees, and sunlight that filters just right when the sky cooperates.And that day? It totally did.


I told them:"Hug each other like you’re on vacation alone, like no one’s watching."

The energy shifted.Jeff forgot the camera.Shannon came alive.

I started whispering prompts:"Closer... touch him… no talking. Just be there. Kiss her neck. Trust what your body wants to do."


And they did.It was soft. Real. Beautiful.I was watching and thinking, “Yes. This is what I live for.”



💦 And once they were fully in it… I asked:


“Wanna get in the water?” 🌊


They said yes instantly.


Jeff dropped to the sand like it was his bed.Shannon lit up.I leaned in and said:"Connect with your sensuality. He’s there, waiting. Take your time."

She moved in slowly, teasing, touching, crawling over him with confidence.And me? Screaming inside (but quiet, because I’m a pro 😌).


Then I gave them one of my all-time favorite prompts:“Whisper something dirty in his ear.” 😏


And they cracked up laughing.They kissed. Hugged. Played.Completely soaked, covered in sand, totally in their own world.




Thank you Jeff & Shannonfor letting me into your energy, for laughing, for connecting so deeply…and sorry for all the sand you took home 😂🏖️

But hey… it was worth every grain.
