Take me back to the golden age

If it's one thing that I love, it's the old Hollywood glamour and I really wanted to use that as inspiration for this shoot when the Westcott Optical spot by Lindsay Adler arrived.

Bleeding heart

A Valentines/Melisandre/Handmaids tail inspired look that I wanted to do. I bought som red tulle fabric and used fake blood that was leftover from halloween and shot this in my home studio.

Beach girl

While sitting in my lounge chair at the beach I noticed this gal looking back at me. She wasn't posing and I wasn't asking her to. I shot a few and she turned her head and that was the end of it.

Fet Gede; but in The States

Fet Gede is the Haitian Festival Of The Dead, you're probably more familiar with the Mexican Dia De Los Muertos. My model was feeling homesick for Haiti and I had to capture her expression.

Julia in nylons

I've been wanted to shoot with a projector for some time. I finally broke down and bought one (I'm not a gadget collector). I reached out to Julia to help me break it in. This is my first attempt.

Allie's up close portrait

Allie moved to Dallas from the DC area. She reached out for a shoot. It took some time to sync our schedules but she came over for an afternoon. This was our first set. More to come.

Lilly in my car

Lilly reached out wanting to shoot a car concept. I asked her to bring 3-looks (casual, dressy and sexy). Tell me which one you think this look is. Hope you like it.

Kayla in sequins

The hair stylist I work with on shoots had previously worked with Kayla and thought it'd be fun for us all to work together. She has that dark hair and light eyes combination that's hard to beat.

Raquel's new boots

It was the height of Covid...I wanted to shoot but wasn't ready to let anyone in my studio. I figured outdoors would allow us to keep our distance and have plenty of fresh air ventilation.

Dark Lillith

What makes a good portrait? I shot this outside at a mall, my brain could only see distractions. I used a 4 stop nd filter shot wide open and flash.Fairly new to this.

Megan makeup ready

Megan come over for a 3-look set. This was the causal look. I thought it might be fun to get her on top of the makeup table. I hope you like it.

Logan in black tulle

Logan is a dancer in a local dance company. She reached out for a shoot. She thought black tulle might be a cool look so I made this dress for her. I hope you like it.

Ifeoma

This image was created at LUFASI park somewhere in West Africa, inspired by the beautiful trees at the location and colorful dress made by DESEMI CLAN fashion house in Lagos Nigeria worn by a model

Natalie enjoying the Zen

Natalie is a newly signed model and needed some fitness images for her portfolio. I had her jumping up and down on set to get that perfect pic. Here she is taking in a little rest.

Madmartigan

My brother was hired to make a Madmartigan costume (from the movie "Willow") and we got some shots of it before it was shipped out.
