Hello and thanks for stopping by. I am a professional Photographer. This is my passion, my fun, my addictive drug. This is also how I make my living. Photographer is what goes on my tax form.
IT IS THE POWER OF DREAMS THAT BRINGS ME HERE!! I am the type of person who sets realistic, lofty, goals and reaches them. I am disgustingly professional.
Five Words That Describe Me....
TRUSTWORTHY, TENACIOUS, PATIENT, LOYAL, PRINCIPLED...
My solemn promise...... If you place your dreams, time and energy in my hands, I will take care of you.
I love people and the opportunity to explore new frontiers. I am a Sagittarius and true to form, insatiable for knowledge.
If you are traveling to my fair city there is very little I do not know about Las Vegas and our surrounding region.
Yes I do TF work, however you need to "bring it". That means it should be win/win for both of our ports, or in some way beneficial to us both. I am extremely affordable for what I provide. You can get my services for a half day for what some models charge for an hour.
Bottom line is........ I just wanna have fun and create some awesome art. I am currently looking to take my port to the next level. Wanna join me??
***A true friend is one who walks in.....
when the rest of the world walks out.

Winning contests does not make a person a great photographer. Winning friends and the hearts of models who trust you in the middle of nowhere half naked having a blast.......... now you might be on to something!
Just one of my testimonials..........
Yesterday I met a wise, witty and amiable man who goes by the name of “The Nikonian“.
His name is derived from the tool he uses, Nikon cameras are what he loves best.
I met him yesterday over a delicious king crab dinner, all expenses paid by him as a complimentary gift for me agreeing to model for him. The honor was all mine even though I did not know what to expect…..It happened to be one of the best nights modeling in my life. I learned so much from him.
I’m the type of model who will do her best, and give it her all to attain what the photographer desires. I’m not perfect by any means i have so much to learn, but its always easier to work with a photographer who understands a model’s potential and admires her drive. This is what The Nikonian showed me, respect and admiration. The same can be said about him, his professionalism and kindness made me respect him even more. Together we worked for 5 hours constantly appraising and re evaluating what we had on camera to try and push my skills as a model even more till finally we got the end result.
At 18 years old, sexy is a tricky word but I mastered it that night. Tastefully sexy, and properly handled I can now beam and recite to anyone who asks that I can model for sex appeal.
the Nikonian was a pleasure to work with, and he didn’t think twice about giving me a ride home after the shoot. His heart is in the right spot along with his knack for bringing and capturing a model’s personality. I am so glad and happy to have worked for him. I’m fortunate to have him as my friend.............
