About me
My goal is to deliver 'provocative and unexpected' photography (thanks Chana). I also deliver some fun with my work - I cannot do a shoot without having fun. I am professional, responsible and easy to work with.
How I Roll
I am looking for unique, creative and uninhibited people to collaborate with.
Unique means you strive for making yourself different from the herd - you don't want to be shot like everyone else, and you will pose to prove it.
Creative means you are not afraid to express yourself, your full range - give me something to shoot.
Uninhibited means you are not scared of having me take pictures of you - no matter what you look like.
Collaborate means we each contribute to the image so we each get something we don't already have.
My Schedule
Chattanooga, TN - day trip
Charlotte, NC - day trip
Greenville, SC - day trip
Birmingham, AL - day trip
Augusta, GA - day trip
Macon, GA - day trip
Lexington, SC - day trip
Day trip - be awesome, be available, I will be there for a day. I like to shoot two separate people if possible, but not a must. Awesomeness, however, is a must. If I drive over 100 miles to shoot with you, we should hit the ground running.

Some amazing people you should work with or get to know (alpha order)
Models:
Ali Rijo, diversity is her middle name, and she is proof that a diminutive model can have a big impact on the industry
Aisha, Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow - figure out a way to work with this woman, you will be blown away
Amanda, One of this sites hidden treasures
Angela Hicks, Breathtaking, I mean I seriously forgot to breathe several times while shooting!
Annetta L, Another professional, great to work with
Annie, Energy for days
Ashley, Obviously something is wrong with this lovely lady, she thinks I am normal
The Silver Rose (Athena), She is like shooting a Greek goddess or something - mad skilzz
Azure, One word - RANGE!! Oh and she has legs that speak for themselves, and I have heard them
Brynna Ruth I could not have dreamed of getting the EXACT shot I wanted - I have learned to be cautious. Hunny, you nailed it. I want you back. Now. Stop. Come back.
Brittney, How can someone so quiet and harmless looking be such an awesome model... the hype is true!
Ana, She is like an on/off switch. Just point a camera in her direction and suddenly THE SUPERMODEL appears
Carlee, Seasoned pro, a ton of fun and killer eyes... and smile... and at least one person has seen her billboard!
Carly, I am not sure of the last time was I was so distracted I forgot to check my camera settings... too much beauty in a powerful package!!
MsChassidy, dry wit meets a body that wont stop... wow!
Deanna, A professional, a friend.
Divya, The Queen of Body Language, Mistress of Awesome Posing, and Owner of her own theme song, she is indeed, way to chill to be a model
Dove, I want to keep her and pet her and call her George... or Fluffy. She rocks hard - really.
Drealto James (Lamar) This guy has muscles that push each other out of the way - and he does not mind being pelted by a Nerf gun. Thanks, you seriously are a great guy.
Fallon, Uh, wow, she could power downtown Atlanta for a week
Hope, forget what you know about tall elegant models - trust me, this lady is a rule breaker
Ileyna An elegant statement of class and grace - and an awesome person too!
Ionela James My first flyer! She actually flew up from Florida to shoot with me!! Her nickname is tornado or hurricane or typhoon - it is appropriate!
Jen Bringing SEXAY to a lens near you!!
Jessica Huntington, up for the challenge, lovely lady
Jessica Chevalier, Jessica just 'gets it' - no matter what crazy idea I throw at her, she produces
Katrina, calling all leg men, I have found your goddess. Worship her NOW!!
Keith, A certified professional trainer, I need his services...
Katie, Hotness. Blonde. Legs. Well trained legs. Yousa.
Khiana, one woman fashion show
Krista Riley, Out to get the best possible image from every click of the shutter, even when it gets rushed - thanks for working with me!!
Kristi Ryczek,I now know what it is like to work with a Barbie Doll - where did you get those EYES?!?!
Kristina, CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL
Layna, Stop. No really. Just stop. She is way too serious.
Lisa Lee, Superstar, I am not kidding either
Lisa Lisa, I love any model who goes with me all the way on a crazy idea
Manal, What a trooper!! Manal wanted to get in the mud for a shot (during a drought), and made it happen!
Marcie, I drove a million miles to shoot this fireball, and I am GLAD I DID!!
Melissa Paige G, I am going to steal her jawline and keep it for myself. And can someone take the batteries out of her crystal colored eyes?
Melody I predict a comeback...
Michelle, will try anything once and do it well
Mya, I must applaud anyone who does a shoot while sick, watches me nearly get a ticket, puts up with me as I get lost trying to find my shoot location, witnesses me driving with one shoe because I stepped in dog crap, lets a homeless man sing to her, and still gives me AWESOME pictures. Mya, you are truly great.
Nadia, I want her for myself, so I am going to say she is a bad model, can't act or sing, and has a terrible body... yeah, so stay away
Lady Natasha, Super nice, humble... and FREAKING INCREDIBLE LEGS... oh, uh, sorry
Prynce Pryor, I have to admit I had a creativity block for a minute, but he was patient and stayed with me until we hit it - and it was a knockout!
Sarah,WOW, what a model - I can tell she is really an actress because she can fall into ANY character or situation you throw at her. Stunning images every time we shoot!
Sydney Jo Please move to Atlanta. NOW. You are FREAKING HAWT!!
Tracy D, don't even try to pin down a look on her, she will change into something else and you will love it all
