The Pueblo of Punta Mita, also know as Corral del Risco, has had a dramatic transformation from a quite fishing village to a host of high-end resorts like Four Seasons and St. Regis. The village is located outside of the gated community that encircles both resorts. There are a couple of great restaurants like Si Senior and Margaritas as well as a couple of cool surf breaks located there. A great place to visit.
We just had a super trip to Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita, Mexico. They definitely took care of us. The resort, weather, food and especially the Kids for All Seasons were awesome.
Elsa gave the smoothies two thumbs up!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to photograph Chef Pascal Coudouy for his latest project. Pascal is the new owner of the Gore Range Brewery in Edwards, Colorado. Formerly the Executive Chef at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, Pascal is a native of the beautiful Pyrenées Mountains of France. Pascal has extensive culinary experience, not only with the Park Hyatt, but also throughout Europe and New York. Under Pascal’s expertise, The Gore Range Brewery will continue to offer fantastic foods, a fun atmosphere and of course their signature beers. A special thanks to Pat Peeples of Peeples Ink PR, Ltd. of Vail. Pat and her firm continue to present me with fantastic and interesting projects to shoot.
I recently traveled to the Hawaiian Island of Lana’i to photograph the wedding of Tiffany & Brian. The ceremony was at Four Seasons Lana’i at Manele Bay. This resort is one of two Four Seasons Resorts on the Island of Lana’i, the other being The Lodge at Koele. Everything about the entire place is awesome. It was super easy to get good images from such an amazing environment and beautiful Bride & Groom.
On a breezy, sometimes snowy, April evening a group of brave souls competed in the first Vail Rec District Short-track MTB race of the 2011 season. The turn-out featured juniors, beginners, sport & expert classes racing around a track at the Eagle County Fairgrounds. The efforts were impressive. After the races, competitors were treated to an after-party at the Dusty Boot. Good work to everyone who braved the early season conditions and congratulations to the winners. Here are a couple of the cooler shots from the event.
And our big winner with her biggest fan…..
I had the opportunity to celebrate a fantastic wedding with Laura & Mike at Four Seasons, Vail. They were a blast to work with and the day couldn’t have been better. We were even gifted with a snow storm during our walk through town.
What a fitting start to my blog…..my favorite subject. The other day Elsa came up to me and said,”Daddy look at my fancy hat.” She looked so amazing in the morning light. I was fortunate to have my camera nearby and was able to capture the moment.
