What does this trip
actually call for?
Four images. No wrong answers. A session type matched to what you actually want — not what you think you should book.
Recent Sessions
The first ten minutes of any session are the worst. The photographer's real job is shortening that gap.
Posing is a trap. Flat midday light is a trap. Same-angle-as-everyone-else is a trap. We work your light — morning or evening, your call — with small prompts and a lot of movement, until you've forgotten the camera exists. By the time you remember, we already have the shot.

The questions you
were going to ask.
You won't pose. We direct. Small prompts, small actions — a walk, a glance, a shared joke — and the moment takes care of itself. Most clients forget the camera is there ten minutes in.
Sooner than you'd expect. An edited sneak peek reaches you within 24 hours of the session — a first taste before the rest. The full edited gallery follows in three days, ready to download and share before your tan fades. Need the complete gallery faster? 24-hour express delivery is available for $50.
We reschedule at no charge. Riviera Maya weather shifts fast. Light overcast we usually keep — soft light is a cinematographer's best friend. If rain makes the session impossible, we move to the next available slot during your trip at no cost.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no — we know which is which. Some resorts charge an external vendor fee. We'll tell you upfront, and if yours does, we suggest a free public beach within walking distance that often turns out better than the resort itself.
What Clients Say
Reviews from
The photos came out absolutely fantastically and the photographer was incredibly professional. Our family isn't great at posing for photos, so having a photographer who will somewhat “force” the shots he knows will turn out good was extraordinarily helpful.
Roots Photography was a dream to work with and gave us beautiful, priceless family photos that we will treasure for decades to come. I can't recommend Lucas more highly!
Without a doubt, the best photographer I've ever crossed paths with. He took on the huge responsibility of capturing one of the most important and special moments for us — our baby's gender reveal — and exceeded all our expectations. He's extremely professional, reliable, attentive, and passionate about what he does. He made us feel comfortable the whole time. The quality of his work is spectacular and the delivery was incredibly fast. I recommend him with my eyes closed.
Jazmin photographed my daughter and me the day before I flew back to Argentina. We felt so comfortable — Jazmin is warm and professional. She gave us just a couple of very clear tips and everything flowed naturally. The photos turned out gorgeous. One of the best memories from my visit to Cancún.
We did our photo session with Roots and it was the best decision. They captured beautiful moments and did an incredible job. Thank you for this gift. We'd hire them again 100%.
Excellent service, quick to respond, attentive and professional. The session was with my 3-month-old baby and they made us feel very comfortable. We truly loved the photos.
