The last look Ariel and I shot on this day was an amazing one, but a quick one. I had to make it quick because I got a call while I was shooting with Ariel asking if I could come by my now studio so they could meet Kylea as well as have me drop off my financials. So unfortunately we had to cut the shoot short, but thankfully we were able to get this last look in!
I saw this fur coat hanging in her closet and immediately knew I wanted to shoot it. I had her lay on the ground a...

This was different for Jesse. If you go through he Instagram, I would say there is little to no images of her in white. Most of her images are very strong, rigid and strong poses and predominantly in black or red to match the posing. I decided to shoot her in a different light. White.
When we shot in FD Studios I told her to bring an array of outfit options and emphasized that I wanted her to bring a white body suit. I have shot in this studio before and I know the light in t...

A while back I ended up having my friend Mara tattoo a lady's butt on the back side of my left arm. However, it was not just a butt. It was a butt in a circle with the earth overlaid and a banner around the world saying 'Cool Butts Rule The World'. I thought it was a fun little tattoo and ended up pretty damn amazing if you ask me or Mara.
So in appreciation of cool butts ruling the world, enjoy this image!

During this pandemic, it is making a lot of people long for an array of different things. I feel as if a lot will now not be taken for granted. I truly miss trips into the desert with friends. Most of all, I miss shooting.
Back in September when Mara and I first met, we went to Joshua Tree National Park for an entire day worth of shooting and several different looks. I have already released three looks from this day, if you missed them; join the $10+ tiers and gain access to ...

A few days back I scanned and shared some 120 film strips to 'The Nostalgia' tier from this shoot and it reminded me that I never shared the digital set Reed and I shot that day. Reed and I had always dreamed of going to Yosemite National Park. It was on our bucket list of places to see and shoot. Thankfully, we were able to tack this up on our wall of accomplishments and it only happened by strange turns of events.
One of our friends Jaclyn was suppose to get married in Octo...

I am so happy and so ecstatic to add one of my favorite models, ladies and friends to the 'Jeans' Series. When Meredith and I shot her birthday look, we shot a few other looks as well and one of them was for 'Jeans'. When I asked her if she would pose for the series she said that she would be honored to. I was immediately even more excited for this day of shooting we had ahead of us.
I have always absolutely adored Meredith's posing and she channels it perfectly in this serie...

Creative couples are the best. They always exude confidence, freedom and love. That love is then translated into the work that they produce. This rings so true with Spilled Milk and Alex. They have been together for a little over a year now and in that time they have created some beautiful images and content together. I am pleased that I can call them my friends.
While this power couple was in town, we shot some images together. Since it was their one year anniversary togethe...

This night still sits so vivid in my mind. Well, the entire twenty-four hours runs through my memory like it just happened yesterday because nothing like this has ever happened before. When I shoot, the normal planning period is about a week at shortest. I will go back and forth with the model setting up a date, time and talking about outfits. A week or so later, shoot time. This entire shoot transpired within less than a day. Diana and I followed one another the previous night to this shoot....

I am slowly but surely getting through scanning all of my negatives, both 35mm and 120 film. This morning I scanned the roll of disposable from my birthday festivities back in November. It was kind of along the same lines as the last scene in 'The Hangover' when they find the digital camera and sift through what their night entailed. I could say the same for getting this roll back. Most of this I do not remember, but I am a firm believer in 'it is not a birthday unless you black out.' I was s...

One of my favorite things about this new series is the simplicity of it. It boils down to a beautiful lady, her favorite pair of jeans, an apple box and that is about it. The fun part for me is I do not strictly direct the model. I tell them to do what they please and pose how they want. It provides an entire different element to the look. The scene and tones will be the same, but the posing will be straight from the models mind. True beauty.
These shoots only last maybe abou...

All of my work's inspiration and drive comes from the connections that I make with the people I work with; whether it be my analogue, digital or even writing about a shoot. All of my favorite and best work comes from this. If that connection is not established for one reason or another, they end up just being images to me.
Christine came over one day while she was in Los Angeles and we shot for a couple of hours and captured four solid looks. The first one was released a coup...

I have so much more to share with you all from this shoot with Meredith and especially from this look, but those will come in the near future. We shot these images specifically for her birthday and I rushed several of them for her so she could post them on her special day, I guess it is just what friends do, right?
When Meredith pulled out these pants and this top then told me this is the look she wanted to shoot for her birthday post, I was immediately sold. I did not even h...

I still have so much content with Reed that has never been released and still so much to edit through of her. I will eventually get to it one day, but I cannot just leave these images unseen. What Reed and I created together was one of a kind.
These images were shot on our last epic road trip we had together. Phoenix was our last stop on the trip spanning thousands of miles and several states. We rented a beautiful and huge Airbnb just outside of Downtown Phoenix and had so m...

Meredith and I kept this shoot a secret. We did not post about it on social media or share any behind the scenes or even a glimpse of what we shot until today. Reason why; her birthday! We got together and shot a few looks, but the main point of the day was to shoot some stellar images for her special day and that is exactly what we did! From adding her to my 'Jeans' series to new lingerie she got in before the shoot all the way to this absolutely amazing chain top. Stories will come later, b...

Every time Anna and I see each other we always produce more and more content. It is like a never ending build of a queue of content. There is only one other person that I have had that pleasure with and it feels good to have it once again. Another great thing about working with Anna is that she never presses me for content. She knows that creativity comes in waves and despite when the images are released, whether it be within a day of shooting them or a few months of shooting them, they alway...

Last month Spilled Milk and her boyfriend Alex came out for a short less than 24 hour visit to Los Angeles. They had anniversary plans in San Diego for the weekend and were able to come out a day early and stay with me. It was the first time I had seen her in quite some time and it felt so good to reconnect and catch up.
When they first arrived in Los Angeles and came into my studio, they were greeted by Kylea, some iced tea and beautiful light. I immediately had to take Kyle...

This was the last look that I had shot with Alexa that day, but I loved it so much I absolutely had to edit it next.
When Alexa had first arrived, we got to talking, I poured her some coffee and she began to take out her outfit selections she had brought with her. It was a wide range of different pieces. Some lingerie, some old band tees and then these amazing pants came out. I knew that these had to be shot in front of the yellow seamless just because it was so perfect...
