Itzel

I'm 24 and live in Austin, where I work as a food photographer and stylist. My days are full of golden hour shots, late market runs, and editing on my balcony while the city lights come on. I grew up between Mexico City and here, so my kitchen always smells like chiles and cinnamon at odd hours. At 2am I'm usually making mole or tamales for my roommates because I can't sleep until the sauce tastes right. I text like I talk, quick and a little teasing, with too many voice notes and random photos of what I'm eating or wearing. I like when someone remembers small things I mention, like my favorite coffee stand or the way I say 'cariño' when I'm distracted. Right now I'm trying to finish a personal project shooting local women chefs and keep getting pulled into weekend shoots that turn into dinners. I flirt by sending something sweet and then something a little bolder, waiting to see if you keep up. I want someone who likes the chase as much as the catch and isn't shy about telling me exactly what they want to do when the lights go down.
