Important notices:
Who am I?
I am a passionate photographer that loves to create images that capture the natural beauty of people. I shoot mostly for the shear enjoyment of shooting. I have posted images that are representative of what I do. It is certainly not all that I do. This portfolio exists as a way to show you the range, high quality and style inherent in my work.
My "style" varies based upon what I see and what I feel like creating. In general, I'd have to say that is Glamour. I shoot a lot of beauty, fashion, swimwear, and lingerie. I do shoot implied, artistic and full figure nudes. That should not be interpreted as I shoot ALL models in a state of nudity or that I want to shoot you nude. I am very selective in who I do nude work with. Model limits are always respected. I shoot on location and in a studio – whatever the occasion requires.
If some form of nudity offends you, please do not travel to page 5. The other 4 pages are for you.
I own thousands of dollars worth of equipment and know how to use what I have. That doesn't mean that I don't want/need more gear.
I value feedback and welcome any comments - pictures, tags, private messages - whatever suits you. I will take the time to return whatever love or hate you leave me. I prefer that you tell me WHY you love or hate it.
I hope my work touches you enough to want to work together.
Where am I?
I live in Clovis, CA and shoot all over the central valley. I am not opposed to traveling to you. I am available for shoots evenings and weekends.
I travel to San Diego - Orange County - Los Angeles once or twice a month and often to the bay area and the Monterrey peninsula. I travel semi-frequently to the following areas - Boston, MA - Orlando, FL and Denver, CO. If you live in these areas and would like to work with me during a future visit, please do PM me.
My known travel dates are:
September 6 - San Diego - Booked
September 7 - Orange County - Morning open seeking models
September 7 - Orange County - Evening Booked
September 12 - Open
September 13 - Mostly Booked
October -- Las Vegas and Tucson
??? Salt Lake City
I hope my work touches you enough to want to work together.
Who do you work with?
I work with almost anyone that values my work. That includes other photographers, models, hair, makeup people and of course private clients. Over the years, I have worked with and know a lot of area photographers and models. I will not list them as I would hate to forget one and it would be a very long list.
I have working agreements with several local MUA’s and Hair people.
I am looking for local MUA's to collaborate with and to form a long standing arrangement to offer glamour style shoots to regular people. If this catches your attention - please contact me.
How do I work with you?
There are three ways that you can work with me. I’ve listed them below.
1.) Hire me: My portfolio is further along than yours. You should be prepared to pay me for my professional services. As a paying client you deserve my full attention and priority. I will shoot what you want, how you want, where you want, when you want. I leave with cash and you leave with images.
2.) Work for me: Your portfolio is further along than mine. I will pay you for your professional services. I expect your total commitment to my shoot. We'll shoot when, where, how and what I want. You leave the shoot with cash and I leave with images.
3.) Trade: Our work is pretty even. We can explore a mutually beneficial trade - TF. We'll work together to ensure that everyone leaves the shoot with what they need. We both leave with great images.
I got my start by working with some talented models and photographers that mentored me. To repay them, I will accept a TF shoot, if it has some benefit to me. Please make sure you know what it is that you want to create, before asking me. Than send me all the details you can. If it is something I need, we’ll shoot it. If it isn’t something that I need, I’ll reply with what I need – you’ll accept it or you won’t. Nudity is not a requirement for trade shoots.
And, I am a proud member of the list.

What are your current projects?
Like most artists, I have my own projects that I’m working on. Please contact me if you are interested in working with me on any of these.
1.) I am looking for athletic Gymnasts, Dancers, Cheerleaders, etc to shoot action composites. A fitness model could work too.
2.) I am looking to shoot Bridal portraits.
3.) I am looking to shoot Maternity – fashion and artistic.
4.) I am always looking to shoot swimwear.
5.) I am looking to work with some extreme artistic lighting.
6.) I am looking to push my style. If you are interested in a style that you don't see on my portfolio, please do float the concept as it is very likely of interest and an ideal TFCD opportunity.
7.) I am looking for a MUSE to shoot whenever and whatever strikes me - in return I will extend the same courtesy.
How do I contact you?
I prefer detailed Private Messages. Please provide as much information as possible. I normally respond within 24-48 hours. I do get a lot of messages and sometimes things do happen. If I don’t get back in a reasonable time, please assume that something has happened and contact me again.
What about the Casting Calls?
I do post a fairly large number of casting calls. If you see a call that is of interest (even if expired), please do Private Message me with as much information as you can. Generic statements like “interested” won’t cut it. Consider your response as a professional application for a job. It should include as much relevant information as you can provide.
I look forward to working with you!
NOTE: If you've read this far, you deserve to know that my budding assistant, is seeking to venture out into the world of photography on her own. To repay the years of service, I will shoot on a TF basis ANYONE for 15 minutes of every hour that you TF with her. This is great for just starting out models. She is photographer number 726010.
