"You guys work magic! It was incredible to experience a side of myself I had long forgotten, and wasn't sure existed anymore. Your work is amazing. It is a true gift to work with you. I look forward to all future endeavors!"  Misty

Began in the early 80's photographing aspiring models in Los Angeles area, helping them with their portfolios.  Became well known for B&W work.  Was diverted from true love for several years as a physician.  Now specializing in portrait, glamour, boudoir, and/or artistic nude photography.

Prefer use of full studio but will consider location work for follow-up shoot.  A wide variety backdrops, props, wigs, costume jewelry available.  Enjoy going for a variety of looks via make-up and hairstyle changes using a collection of feathers, jewels, ribbons, glitter, paints, etc.

Will be interested in helping you with your special projects, just discuss them with us.  A husband and wife team with wife managing the laptop, holding reflectors, watching for tags, bra straps and so forth while husband uses the various cameras.  We enjoy working with  all models with no limitations based on the lack of experience as long as they demonstrate professional ethics - The ability to keep their word.

This is what some of the models who have worked with us have said -

* KEYA:  "I had so much fun at the photoshoot, I'd definitely refer you to any of my friends and I'm looking forward to the shoot in the near future!" ""I doubt we could capture all of the wonderful ideas we come up with in ten sessions!!"

"Haha, they really do get better and better. We have way too many ideas and not enough time and it's always mroe than a joy to work with you!! Looks like I'll be coming in every other week for the rest of my life before we run out of ideas, lol. "

* ANDREA:  "Great Job on the photos!! They turned out flawless and perfect as always. You supported my ideas and did all you could to make things happen. Clayton is going to love his calender!"

* KELLY:  Great photo shoot yesterday!!!  Sensational images, certain to be some of the best in my port. I am trying to be there again Tuesday, will contact you Monday if I can't.  You pose a unique problem, in that I am unable to decide between so many awesome images!!!  This thing is certain: one of your images will soon become my new avatar."

"Hey, I think the last set we shot yesterday produced some of the best shots, ever!!! I am very proud of them, I hope you are. Cant believe what we got in a short session, with both of us not being in top form. Astonishing, really.  You have some gallery-quality work, hope you have a showing sometime."

"Brilliant couple, fun, safe and excellent images.  Highly professional, so return the favor to them.  Don't even THINK about an escort, I can vouch for them.  An escort, except a MUA, will only get in the way of an exhilarating creative process.  Trust them implicitly.  Wonderful, talented people. Very, very high energy.  They wore me out, and that is saying something!" 

* MAGON:  "Had alot of fun today at the shoot!!  We got so many great, great, and did I mention GREAT images!!  Cant wait till our next shoot!!!"

* AMY:  "Thanks so much for a wonderful shoot yesterday! I had a lot of fun working with you.Its going to be so hard trying to figure out which ones are my favorite haha! I hope to work with you and your wife again!!"

* JAMIE RAY: "I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to work with you guys. I can honestly say I had a blast! You're an amazing photographer, you have a true eye for the art. You and your wife were Very welcoming. Its not very often I feel That comfortable around new people. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much! .. And we will most definitely shoot again!"

* MISSGHOULITA:  "It was a pleasure working with you yesterday. You guys are a blast and i loved the atmosphere!  I hope to do more work with you in the future!"

* MEAGAN: "Who is that girl?? Where did you find her? ha ha! The pics are awesome. You guys do a fabulous job!"

* ELENA:  "Thank YOU so much! It was such a great experience! I'd love to shoot with you again! It is an honor to work with such a high professional!"

* AUTUMN IN JUNE:  "I had a great time working with you all yesterday! You guys are awesome and have so many props and ideas to choose from. Have a great weekend!"  "Thank you again for letting me work with you all. You guys are awesome to work with and I cant wait for our next shoot!"  "You and your wife are a great team.   My friend and I had a pleasant time with you guys at the shoot.  Loved the music."

*CARLY:  "I never thought that at our first shoot together that we would get so many wonderful captures. Thank you so much for getting me started. I will forever be grateful. Can't wait to have another session."

*Missy:  "I love the new pics. That is a very beautiful headshot. I very much enjoyed working with the 2 of you yesterday. I believe we made some great photos together as a team. I also very much enjoyed your company as well. I stayed up all night looking through the photos on the disk. WOW! So many good ones to choose from. I love them all. My problem has been narrowing it down to a few that I love the most. Not an easy job being that they are very good. I can't wait to come back and work with you all again ASAP. I would like to build my portfolio with you guys now. I am very pleased with the work you do. The two of you make a great team together and that is very nice."

** Note**

Policies in regards to models:

* Model release is required, copy available upon request.  Must be signed prior to shoot and includes all images taken unless discussed prior to day of shoot. 

* Underage models will only be scheduled after photo session has been discussed with parents in detail.  Parent's must initiate contact for planning of photo shoot.

* If escort required, must be female.  Rule set by my wife as we work as a team.  We reserve the right to cancel a shoot before even starting if someone brings a male escort who expects to stay inside after the shoot begins.  They can bring you to shoot, inspect premises, meet with my wife and I, and meet makeup artist if one is scheduled or second model.  Then they must leave to be called back once shoot is over. 

* We do not shoot nudes unless requested by model and model must be over the age of 18 with proper age documentation.

* TF* Shoots mean trade of time and travel expenses for photo session resulting in digital raw images on DVD/s, plus a negotiated number of edited and finished images.  This will depend on the model, the model's makeup, skin condition, and age.  If it takes more time to properly edit and finish the images, the lower the number of images provided.  We do allow models to chose which images they want finished.  Only edited, finished images with our watermark may be printed or published online.  If we chose to edit a different image for our portfolios, you will also obtain a digital copy of this image or series created.

* Makeup artist/stylist may charge a non-refundable fee prior to the shoot to cover their expenses.  They are available for at least 6 hours and provide a wide variety of hairstyles and make-up during set changes with refreshing as needed.  For those who have worked with makeup artists before, this is a tremendous value.

** Models with more than one shoot and most recent models have expanded credits.

-  Factors considered were number of shoots together, an understanding of the TF* system (photographer promotes model and model in return promotes photographer via use of image in portfolio), and after shoot communications.  Ratings are variable.
