What an incredible and awesome experience that I had shooting with this gorgeous and talented young lady recently!!!  Her poise, professionalism, beauty and posing ability are all so amazing.  She had so many gorgeous, breathtaking images from this shoot.  This was an experience that I will cherish for a very long time.  She is definitely every photographer's dream model come true!!!

June 2010 Abbey Jo

OMG!!! Once again I am so blessed to work with a new model who is simply awesome to photograph. Her name is Abbey Jo. Absolutely gorgeous. Needs very little if any guidance or prompting during the shoot. Very creative and innovative and simply a joy to work with. So flawless in her appearance that she needs hardly any editing. I see a very bright and productive future for her and I want to wish her the very best and hope that all of her modeling dreams come true!!!!

So once again I encounter another awesome, gorgeous lady that I have the privilege of working with.  It was our very first shoot and I didn't want to direct or to pose her.  I wanted to see what she could do without me and she did incredible!!!  I had a feeling that she would do amazing and she more than lived up to my expectations.  Extremely professional and so easy and a true pleasure to work with.  I highly recommend her and I would love to work with her again!!!

WoW!!  I cannot think of a better way to start the New Year than shooting with such a incredibly gifted, beautiful and talented young lady such as Hailey.  She is a dynamo of energy and beauty all wrapped into one.  I was overwhelmed by her poise, professionalism and posing ability.  As a result of her incredible input she has been rewarded with many awesome and beautiful images.  I have no doubt that this young lady will travel far and make all of her dreams become a reality in a very short time.  I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with her and she in turn has become an inspiration to me.  I wish her the very best in everything that she accomplishes!

Nov. 2009  "Butt3rcup"

Had an awesome photo shoot with Butt3rcup from Lawton, OK.  She was so incredibly amazing to shoot with!!!  After her long journey, she was prompt, professional and such a pleasure to work with.  Everything flowed so smoothly!!!!!!

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 four 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.  I love what I do and I put my heart and my energy into every shoot.

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.

In Summary:  I'm really not a grump!  It's just that after not hearing back from so many models and getting stood up by so many others, you do tend to get frustrated.  I'm here to help shoot images for you!!!  If you want to play games or jerk my chain then please go play somewhere else!!!

All that I ask is that you do stay in contact with me.  If I send you messages and don't hear anything back from you for days then there is a chance that I will cancel the shoot!!
