I am back after an extended leave from this site.

I have upgraded my equipment to a Canon Digital Rebel XTi, and I am looking to pursue a more serious route with my photography.

You might haven noticed that most of the photos in my gallery are of myself. This is because I have had little to no luck with actually connecting with models. I get stood up 90 percent of the time that I have arranged photo shoots.

I do all of my own make up work, both on myself and my models.I also do all of the editing and lighting... production in general

I am in the process of a personal website at the moment, but I wanted  to re open this account because I made many great connections here.

My personal style runs on the darker side of things, but I am completely able to do almost any kind of shoot. Couples, babies, pregnancy, portfolio, headshots, family photos... just general nice photos of people. I will shoot ARTISTIC nude photos. I don't do fetish photography or trashy borderline porn. One of my favorite things to shoot is presents for your significant other. I have done a couple of shots of lovely ladies for their boys on valentines day. It's super thoughtful, creative and always very fun. obviously if requested, they all come with a nice dark twist

****To build my portfolio i offer my services free for now, this means if you model for me you get all of the pictures and edited ones that i choose . When i get enough of one type of photos (IE if everyone wants just nice looking portfolio shots or something) then I will start charging for that specific type since I don't need them for my portfolio. Currently I need everything...so yay!.****

If you are interested in modeling for me, now is a great time! I am building up at portfolio so I can start making a living with my artwork. This mean, catch me while its free! After I have a good enough photo base with my new camera and actual models, I will start charging for my time.

If you arrange a shoot with me, I will give you one grace period. This means, if you do not show up to a shoot or you cancel without some sort of an emergency, I will give you another time to do our shoot. If it happens again, I will have to pass or ask that you pay a small deposit so my time is not wasted. This may sound harsh, but when you have had as much difficulty as I have with this, there isn't much of a choice.

********I will not do ALL of the work unless i specificly contact you with my own idea. If you want photos by me, I expect you as a model to bring something to the table. Be it creative suggestions, personality, hair, make up, wardrobe, location ideas... Something at least so I am not doing all of this work while the other side gets to stand around, look pretty and get free professional photos out of the deal.

All that behind, I am VERY ready to get into my new camera and creative energy. Please send me a message with any interests
