hi there! i’m kelsie otero

mesita (meh-see-tah), meaning “tiny table” in spanish, is a nod to my roots and my love for the moments that unfold when people gather around a table. it reflects both what i capture behind the lens and what i hope to cultivate beyond it.

i focus on capturing food & beverage, lifestyle, and gatherings through digital + film photography. my style

is grainy, full of feelings, and authentic moments — a crumb on the table, hands mid-reach, laughter just out of frame.

to me, it’s less about perfection, and more about capturing authentic moments as they unfold. more of the fun, less about perfection!

rooted in that same spirit, mesita also curates real-life, food-centered experiences designed to bring people together and build community around a shared table. because connection, like a good meal, is meant to be shared!
