What words would I use to describe Ben? Passionate, artistic, imaginative, and professional are just a few of the words that come to mind.

Ben has an extraordinary way of capturing the true essence of a woman’s beauty through his stunning photographs. I had no idea what to expect the first time I shot with Ben. In the past, I had worked with numerous photographers but always knew that Ben was one of the very best.

Needless to say, I was a little anxious not knowing exactly what the whole experience would entail. From the moment you meet Ben, there is an immediate connection, and he makes you feel like his best friend.

He is extremely down to earth, has an insane sense of humor, and creates such a comfortable atmosphere that before long, you forget you are shooting with one of the best photographers in the industry.

He is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to his work which is evident when you view your photos for the very first time. As Miss New Mexico USA 2012, I am both extremely honored and privileged to be able to work closely with Ben.

The morning after the Miss New Mexico USA pageant, we were up bright and early for a photo shoot after only a couple hours of sleep! I was amazed at the amount of patience and energy Ben maintained and was able to draw out of me as we shot for the next five hours straight!

I was a little concerned about what my first photos as Miss New Mexico USA would look like with my sleep deprivation, but once again Ben was able to create some absolutely breathtaking or as Ben would say “HOT” photos!

Thank you, Ben, for making me feel like a true beauty queen and for all the hard work, dedication, and commitment you put in to making all the women that you photograph feel amazingly beautiful and uniquely special
All my NM love,
Miss New Mexico USA 2012
