Freelance photographer, based in Los Angeles with 10+ years experience in fashion, glamour, art nudes, as well as commercial and theatrical headshots. Iâm often described as professional and passionate, and run very stylized yet relaxed shoots to make you look your best. I shoot on location and at my 2,200 SF studio in Downtown LA. I'm always open to new people and creative suggestions â just ask.
RATES: I do not shoot TFCD, (see below), but I offer very competitive rates, and I love to help new and experienced models develop kick-ass portfolios. Check out the "Pricing" section of my website or email me for a quote. A non-refundable $100 deposit is required via Paypal at the time of booking.
PROOFS: Proofs from your shoot are uploaded the next day to a private server for you to review on-line. Final retouched images are delivered in print and web resolution via secure download - it's quick and easy. I never release RAW files, unedited/retouched shots, or all the files from a shoot - no exceptions.
STYLING: To make the most of our shooting time together, I like my shoots to be styled in advance: This means the concept, wardrobe, hair, makeup, props, etc are planned well before the shoot date, and we all arrive ready to shoot. I insist on having a hair/makeup artist/stylist on set both before and during shooting to make sure you look your best. You can bring your own, or I have several excellent artists available at reasonable rates.

My 2 cents on TFCD: I do it rarely, and if I'm interested I'll contact you. Many of us pro photographers spent years perfecting the art of photography. We have masters degrees, thousands of dollars of equipment to buy, maintain, and insure, as well as beautiful studios with beautiful monthly rent payments. We don't work for free. You pay your attorney, you pay your accountant, you pay your manicurist, you pay your gardener. Pay your photographer.
