****New Update 11/06/11 - Finally out of the hospital and back on my computer!!! Thanks to everyone for all the nice well wishing. There were a few complications with surgery that kept me in the hospital longer than expected. I'm not 100% yet but slowly getting back to shooting and editing. So I will get back to all the emails as soon as possible and thanks to everone for your patience.****

****New Update 09/09/11 - It's offical! For those of you who didn't know I have been diagnosed with a very common sleep disorder that is really effecting my health. I have good days and bad ones, and in early October I will be having surgery to try and correct the problem. This means a couple of things continued delays on content and shooting for my book. It also means that I will not be shooting at all for the entire month of October and first two weeks of November! Doctor's & Wife's orders sorry! So this means that if you wanna shoot with me you better schedule something firm in September because who knows. The good news is during my recovery I will be allowed to edit!!! And speaking of editing... Thanks to one of my favorite models I will be editing with Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended Edition. Now there will be a bit of a learning curve so bare with me, but WOW it does some awesome stuff! Anyway thanks for the well wishing it suck that as soon as I get back on my feet I gotta go back in. But it happens. Anyway thanks for your patience I am doing my best to catch-up with everyone. And book me while you can!****

*****Due to all of the paid work I am doing lately and with my wife and I launching our new wedding business my availability is a bit low, however for the right idea, right model, or to fill up space I am still shooting so Message me and we'll work something out!****

I'm a Pro Artistic, Glamour, Wedding, and Event Photographer with over 12 years experience. Published in multiple magazines and websites. This is my main job and I am pretty damn good at it! I get to do what I love for a living. Accomplished Pro Make-Up Artist as well. I have a vast wardrobe with everything from casual to cool latex. My wardrobe includes over 80 pairs of shoes ranging from sizes 5 to 10. When you shoot with me you get the complete package. Pro Make-Up provided, Awsome Wardrobe provided, Edgy Photographer, and retoucher and photoeditor. You will look your best, and most glamourous! Shoot me a message and let's work together. Don't bother sending a friend request without a message I just reject them!

Do's & Don'ts:

1.) I Do selective TF just ask and we'll see, It's mostly based on how busy I am, and in most cases paid work comes first!

2.) I Do paid work just ask for my very reasonable and inclusive rates, All paid shoots will include head shots, and a Comp Card!

3.) I Don't shoot porn sorry! I will shoot implied, and artistic work, but no Porn!

4.) I Do shoot both in studio and on location, I typically shoot in the studio for the first time. No sense in waisting gas and time on a possible flake. Just being honest!

5.) Do Not Contact Me Asking For Me To Pay You...EVER! (If I contact you thats's Different!) This is the most ridiculous thing about Model Mayhem users. Models should be paid by clients looking to book them for commercial or editorial print work, NOT by photographers! Models often pay photographer to improve or update their portfolios, create them head shots, or the most important thing for a serious model a Comp Card. Comp Cards can cost up to $500, you can get atleast one for free when shooting with me! This will need to be discussed prior to the shoot as addionitional angles will be needed, and it will only include my images. If you want images from another photographer included I will charge a small fee and require a release from the photographer. The images will need to be full size and high resolution. It's worth it for a Comp Card. Every model needs one!

6.) I Do have all models sign a fair and equal release form.

7.) I Don't release unedited or uncopyrighted images to anyone for any reason regardless of what kind of shoot it is...sorry! If you want all of the images then you will have to pay for them PERIOD!

8.) I Do give you fully retouched and edited images within 14-21 working days from the shoot (depending on the amount of editing needed), and you don't have to wait for a disc in the mail. You will have a password to directly download the images at full resolution from my site.

9.) I Do shoot 7 days a week, but I book up fast!

10.) Most of all I wont Date you! I'm married and I have kids,  so I am definitely not interested in dating you...I'm not sorry about this one!

Any other questions just ask me...

*******Update Just an FYI I will never ask a model to cover or remove any tattoos and peircings. I don't currently have any myself, but I think it makes a model standout and in my opinion a model's beauty is defined by her uniquness. So be original and show off that body-art!*****
