About me
I am a writer/photographer whose work has been published many times in magazines and calendars in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. I specialize in nude-in-nature, nude recreation, and implied nude photos. I also shoot some glamour photos and portraits. I maintain a home studio.
I am available primarily in Northern Virginia, Maryland, Southern New Jersey, and the Jersey Shore. I also am available about one week a year in the areas of each of Las Vegas, Dallas, and Miami-Palm Beach. If you are often mistaken for Alexis Bledel, I will travel other places.
DIRECT CONTACTS. I do not work through models' intermediaries - managers, representatives, agents, friends, whomever.
COMPANIONS. A companion is welcomed at any meeting or shoot. I have never had a problem with this issue.
PUBLICATION. I have placed most of the currently pictured models in magazines, eight of them on covers. I hire models with a view toward possible publication. Use of a pseudonym in publication is fine.
DIGITAL IMAGING. Yes, some of the photos in the portfolio are composite creations. I prefer to shoot in natural settings, but it isn't always feasible to do so.
**NOTE TO COMMENTERS**:
Some people are commenting on the MODELS, not on the PHOTOGRAPHY. I am pleased that you are seeing something that appeals to you, but comments such as 'cute model' and 'pretty girl' are not informative or useful, and I delete them. Finding a good-looking model is one matter; creating a good photo is another.
Please don't pose questions (other than rhetorical) in comments; use the messaging system.
FAVORITE COMMENTS:
'Your images are all bright, fresh and exude happiness. Photography should be fun and your pictures bring out that emotion very well.' - Dennis
'I like the relaxed look in your shots and models. You must have a great rapport with them all.' - JD
'You're so good at taking every model and making them look gorgeous.' - Iceman
'You have a blessed gift of capturing women in their most natural form... every one of them looks like Eve.' - AnJess
'It uplifts the spirit just to visit.' - Roger
'There is something about all of your photography that is clean, wholesome, and relaxed.' - Hal
'...refreshing is the only way I know to describe [your nude work]' - K Fair
'I admire your work - crisp, colorful, lighthearted, refreshing, and always complimentary of the model.' - MPT
'There is so much joy in your work that it makes me forget that there are nude people!' - Bahlietes
LINKS. I have supplied links to models when feasible. If I haven't supplied a link, I cannot provide information about that particular model.
THANK YOU. I thank you for your comments, listings, and tags. Sorry I can't respond to all.

Your nude work is great. It seems so....refreshing is the only way I know to describe it. The models seem to be having a blast.
A very pleasant change from the sultry nudes most people do.
