He was completely prepared and diligent, polite and professional, and I felt totally comfortable working with him. I would recommend working with him to any new or experienced model.
12/31/06 Priest Photo - What a great way to finish out 2006! I think our annual New Year's shoots are becoming a tradition and that's just fine by me! I believe that this was our best shoot YET - and that says a lot because there are so many wonderful shoots to choose from! Richard, you're a pro.

6/24/06 RP Photography - Another shoot with RP Photography, and my first shoot as a REDHEAD!
5/20/06 Imagography by DRL - I have yet to meet another photographer with the same artistic vision and level of talent as Doug. His work speaks volumes to me and on many personal levels. He creates his images with care and mastery, and as a result, they are created not just simply for the sake of existing, but are examples of a higher level of cognizance and thinking for the rest of us to behold in all of their artistic splendor.
04/22/06 Ruben Sanchez - Mr Sanchez' talents are far-reaching, he has the ability to capture a subject in the best possible light (both literally and figuratively). I can't wait to work with him again. Thanks so much, Ruben! I really enjoyed meeting and working with you.
03/30/06 Giovanni Navarre - Giovanni has earned the nickname of my "personal photographer." He gives every shoot his all. He knows exactly what he's looking for in a shot, and won't leave you guessing. Thank you, Giovanni, you managed to capture yet another side of my personality with your camera that was just waiting to be unleashed.
03/29/06 Photography By Erik - Don't let his age fool you, Erik is not just experienced, but wise beyond his years. Erik took some incredible photographs of me that I will cherish for years to come, he is a true master of his art. Thank you again, Erik, for a wonderful shoot!
03/04/06 Snaps In Time - Pete Fink is one of the few genuinely good guys left. With no agenda except to capture true beauty, Pete earns very high marks in my book, not just as a photographer but also as a person. Thanks again for putting up with me, Pete! It's a tough job but you handled it well.
2/23/06 LeFay Photography - Sometimes fate steps in and opens doors to new opportunities we might not otherwise have. This was certainly the case in my shoot with LeFay Photography. I filled in for a model whose physical attributes are about as opposite from mine as can be, but he pulled the shoot off beautifully. Michael Grider was amazing to work with, a consummate professional, and he managed to capture some breathtaking photos while displaying incredible flexibility and versatility of ideas.
2/20/06 Giovanni Navarre - Out first "double digit" shoot, lol! This shoot took place in a gorgeous multi-million dollar home in north Houston. Giovanni, here's to lots of zeros after your one!

01/11/06 BobbyG Photo, bobbygphoto.com (OMP# 102913) - Bobby excels at whatever he does, whether it's his role as a photographer, singer, businessman, or just the next big project he takes on. Bobby kept me laughing through the entire shoot. His personality and talent really comes through in his work, and all of this is besides the absolutely incredible images he creates. Plus, he's fast: I received my first set of processed preview images by the next morning. Thanks again, Bobby, for a GREAT shoot!! If you book a session with him, please, please mention me.
12/30/05 Richard Priest (OMP# 128590) - What a great way to end the year! Models, don't be intimidated by the name of the "abandoned well site" location, it's a great place to shoot and Mr. Priest is always the perfect gentleman. Thanks again for a great shoot, Richard!
11/19-11/20/05 Texas Photo Forum Lighting Workshop with host Scott Watters (OMP# 114955) as MUA - I'd like to say a big "Thank you" to all the workshop attendees, but especially to Scott Watters for putting this all together. This was the most organized and well planned workshop that I've ever had the honor of being present at, and that's no easy feat!
11/10/05 Darryl Briggs of darrylbriggs.com (OMP# 2194) - The shoot was awesome! I only wish I could rate his work higher than OUTSTANDING. He's not what everyone says he is - he's even BETTER. Highly recommended!
11/11/05 Fantasia Images (OMP# 50772) - Ricardo is a fascinating photographer and individual. Highly respectful of a model's limits and personal space, he is as gifted with his post-processing as he is with his photography. Models, book your session TODAY!
11/25/05 - RJ Warren Photography (OMP # 2729) - Bob's experience really comes through in his work. We created some outstanding images that I was proud to share.
11/25/05 Jerry Brown (OMP # 24551) - I was honored to have not just one, but two simply outstanding photographers present at this shoot. Jerry was a joy to work with, and integrated seamlessly with Bob's style of shooting. The two pros worked together well.
