Today is Fair Trade Day, so we are celebrating our favorite spot in Downtown Phoenix, the Fair Trade Cafe (@fairtradecafeaz). Owner Stephanie Vasqeuz came into our lives when we photographed her for @knowwomen publication. In our chat on the phone to plan her shoot, I learned that after being in the education field for 14 years, one trip to Costa Rica changed her life Per Stephanie, it was on that trip where she learned what the title of Fair Trade really meant, and it wasn't long after returning home, that she put her new found passion into action. Her cafe, @fairtradecafeaz, is the the longest standing coffee house in Downtown Phoenix owned by a Latina. If you're downtown and looking for a refreshment and some artisanal snacks, @fairtradecafeaz is the place to be.

What People are Saying... "My fantastic session with Yasmin was one of the most memorable sessions I've ever had. Not only is her knowledge in posing and lighting extraordinary, she has a fun and comforting approach in her guidance. I was photographed in a few different outfits in different lighting so that she would be able to provide me a variety of beautiful portraits. I am beyond ecstatic after viewing them with her. I look confident and radiant, and actually started tearing up! I am grateful that I did this empowering session with her." -Ruby K. Thank you Ruby for your kind words! It’s always a pleasure to photograph you. #scottsdalephotographer #arizonaphotographer #portraitphotographer #luxuryportraits #vanityfairportraits #filmphotographer #southwestphotographer #azphotographer #luxuryphotographer #artphotography #heirloomportraits #heirloomfamilyportraits #headshots #storytellingportraits #scottsdalefamilyphotographer #azliving #soscottsdale

If you've been following along on our IG journey, you've noticed a new genre popping up more frequently, and that is equestrian photography. Focusing on the bond between horse and rider, our new site will have a dedicated gallery to showcase our equine friends. Stay tuned for the official announcement. Featured here, Suwasit and Duke, photographed at a dry lake bed outside of Las Vegas.

Get to know me...ever wonder who is the face behind the camera? Here's 5 things that you may not know about Yasmin. 1. I never leave the house without spf chapstick. 2. I laugh the most when I'm with my siblings. 3. If I could only eat one meal for the rest of my life, it would be sushi. 4. Something that really bothers me is inequality. 5. My favorite way to spend a day off is around water: ocean or the pool. Now it's your turn, I would love to know your answers to one of these. Comment below! 📷 @rubyrideout_photography
