Sept/Oct 2009  "Stephanie"

In the short time I've been shooting with models I have run across a wide variety of personalities and abilities.  Some good, some ok but every so often something clicks and you encounter a special person that catches your eye.  I have had a fairly recent encounter with one of those exceptional people.  Her name is Stephanie.  We really hadn't spoken to any length before we did our first shoot.  She was nervous and I was anxious and didn't really know what to expect.  But within the first few minutes of shooting I could tell that she was someone special.  I had the misconception that she was quiet and shy but as we shot and she began to open up I was quite amazed.  I know that there are a lot of incredibly gorgeous models in the world and Stephanie is definitely very attractive but very special as well and her wealth comes from deep within.  She is a petite dynamo of energy, creativity, spontaneity and charm.  She is vivacious, outspoken yet sincere toward others.  It is always a treat and incredible experience to work with her.  She brings laughter and enjoyment to all of our shoots.  I came to find out that she is indeed an artistic person and it is quite evident when working with her.  She is indeed someone that has blessed me by entering my life and I am honored to have the opportunity to work with her.  I believe that she will be very successful in whatever she chooses to do in life.  My life has definitely been enriched by her presence and I look forward to seeing her grow and blossom into an even more remarkable lady.  May all of her dreams come true.

**Many thanks to my model Jen, who today blessed me with her presence, her beauty, and her grace.  She is truly a professional very worthy of your time and talent.  She made my day an amazing one and her impression on me will be one of permanence.**

Well, I've been shooting people again for about a couple of years now and I have had many awesome experiences with a lot of incredibly gorgeous and talented models.

I am here to help you.  I love to shoot with both new and experienced models.  I particularly love shooting with first timers because I think that I can provide them with a very positive learning experience and some excellent images.

The very few negative experiences that I have had are in the past and it is time to move forward to more positive things in life and to promote more beauty and love in the world.  There can never be enough of either!

If you are on this site and contact me, the only thing that I ask is that you are serious and dedicated to scheduling a shoot.  You are wasting time for the both of us if you have no intention of being sincere and responsible.  Don't treat me any different that you would like to be treated and we can make beautiful music together!!!

I am so grateful to all of the beautiful models that have allowed me the honor of working with them.  I am forever indebted to them. 

Any comments, criticisms or even compliments are always welcome!  I can be reached by cell phone at 254-749-8170, home 254-662-6243 or e-mail at tjrphoto@hotmail.com.

P.S. If you like to be Photoshopped until you look plastic, I'm not your photographer!  If I wanted to shoot Barbie dolls then I would do just that!  Sorry but I like real, natural, beautiful people!!!

P.P.S. One of my few pet peeves.  Don't send msgs and tags about how you want to shoot with me over and over and I send you a schedule and you never reply.  Then I see that by some miracle you have shot with several other photographers in the same city where I live but never could find the time to shoot with me.  No, I'm not selfish but I don't appreciate being treated that way nor would I do that to you!  Pleeze!!!  Sorry, but this scenario is getting old!!  Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy but I'm not into playing games and I really am a nice person to work with.  So please be an adult and just tell me that you really aren't interested in working with me.

I had the BEST time working with you!! I love my photos and can't wait for Shoot #2!
