Inspirational Margarita Cocktail Series

How did my love affair with cocktail and drink photography start?⁠⁠

I fell in love with drink photography early on, but I didn't have the skills to make a simple cocktail impactful. After much practice what I found is that making cocktails is an art form. The attention to detail and technique is unforgivable. 

It reminded me so much of photography. It takes a lot of little things, done well, all coming together.⁠⁠ When you create from the heart, it shows.

I'm so grateful that brands and clients now reach out to me about creating more beverage content.⁠⁠ So my message for you today is, photograph the subjects you're most excited about.⁠⁠


I thought about doing a pink margarita, but it felt too obvious. Having a classic margarita with a pink salt rim was more of a challenge and I love how it turned out. I also turned an almost clear liquid cocktail into something truly remarkable!⁠

It's all in the light.
