I Love taking pictures. I want to get more of those great art like shots that make other people say "NICE"! My goals are to get some really fantastic shots; to make people happy when they see themselves, for their loved ones to enjoy; or just seeing something special in my prints! I do mainly TFP shoots as I feel the value you get in photos is my time, my equipment, my gas, and quite a few years of photography expertise. The above being said; if possible I do like to get paid for my work and I do have a portfolio that deserves that! I have a portable studio and lights and have now done a few weddings.
I Love to see art and beauty in everything I do! I'm am not a pro but I think I'm pretty good. I'm willing to learn and improve and shoot in a very professional manner. Ask any of the models I have worked with if you have any question to my character.
Artsy, Classy shots are what I want to do. I am not one to spend hours and hours getting one good shot. Going from one pose to another and getting multiple shots with different backgrounds, settings, and poses is my preference to be able to pick out a few great shots that do materialize. Prefer outdoor settings but can and have done some studio work.
I have a portable studio (lights & backdrops) and have worked them in homes, an apartment, a garage, a few warehouses and barns and can set them up if you have a space. Also a beauty salon/body paint booth and studio all in one; thanks Annette!
I am fine with escorts and am always happy if they hold a reflector and fix hair and makeup. :)
Thanks to all the models, artist and escorts who have helped and worked with me to get some amazing shots. It has been a pleasure working with all of them in the credits below. Always looking to do interesting shots and scenes so please message me with ideas you might be thinking of.
My email is rsholten969@gmail if you prefer to use that. My schedule is very flexible M-F and unless paid gigs I spend weekends with the family.

Up at Beal's Park, near Granite Bay, at the lake, the water is so low... it's blue and brown and looks almost desolate in an alluring way.
Are you available in the next couple of weeks? Preferably a Tuesday or Thursday? Even a sunday...
