Vivian Cove (December 20, 2023)

Last Shoot with Vivian Cove – First Shoot After the Remodel

This set is special for a couple of reasons. It was the last time I worked with the incredible Vivian Cove, and it also marked the very first shoot I did in my house after the remodel. Instead of heading into the studio, we decided to embrace the natural light pouring into my living room and dining area and just see where inspiration would take us.

We played with different fabrics, soft textures, and sh...

Eva Luna (October 3, 2024)

First time shooting with Eva Luna—and this one seriously lit me up.

We shot in my living room and in the studio, and every setup just clicked. The energy was there from the start, and Eva brought it full force. Her posing was dialed in, totally natural, and her eyes? Unreal. You’ll see what I mean—they lock you in.

This set includes 66 photos, with 8 shot on 35mm and 8 Polaroids mixed in. The film adds that grit and texture I love, and it plays off the digital stuff in all t...

Joey Darke (May 16, 2024)

This shoot with Joey Darke was a full-on creative experiment—and one of the most fun sessions I’ve done in a while.

We started with an all-white concept: white backdrop, white clothing, and even white makeup on Joey’s eyebrows and eyelashes. The whole thing felt like stepping into a dream—or maybe a hallucination.

Then we shifted into some heavier territory. One part of the shoot pulled from the over-the-top aesthetic of 80s rock videos—loud, dramatic, and a little surre...

First Look!

One from the set I’m editing right now with Eva Luna.

This shoot turned out even better than I expected. The light, the mood, the way she moved—it all just worked. I’m putting together a full set of around 50-60 photos, and I’ll be posting the complete collection here soon.

Can’t wait to show you the rest.

Cheers!

Illyria Wulf (October 1, 2024)

54 New Photos of Alaina Wulf – First Outdoor Shoot!

A full new set featuring Alaina Wulf – 54 photos total, including 9 shot on 35mm film. This was our first outdoor shoot together, and it turned out to be something special.

We spent the day by the river, and Alaina fully leaned into it—wading into the water, climbing rocks, and just enjoying the space. There’s something really natural and raw about the way she moved through it all, and I think that c...

Keira Grant (May 7, 2024)

Hey everyone,

Just dropped 16 new photos featuring the incredible Keira Grant! I experimented with a new lens filter during this shoot, but honestly, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I probably won’t be using it again – the results just weren’t what I was going for. However, we did something really fun with a gobo to create some unique lighting, and those shots? Some of my absolute favorites from this shoot. The light and shadows turned out really cool.

Shooting with Manya – A Happy Accident

I had the chance to work with French model Manya while she was visiting the States, and this shoot was an absolute blast. We played around with gobos to create some really unique lighting effects, and I love how the images turned out.

Funny enough, the cover photo—my favorite from this set—was almost scrapped. My flash misfired, leaving the frame nearly black, but somehow my camera still captured just enough data for me...

Paige Hoffman – Living Room & Studio Shoot

Here are 18 images from a shoot I did with Paige Hoffman. We shot in both my living room and my garage studio. I remember she wanted to listen to Blink-182 while we worked, which was fine by me. Other than that, I don’t recall much about this shoot.

Looking back at the photos, there are a couple I really like, but overall, this wasn’t one of my favorites. Sometimes that just happens—chemistry, lighting, creati...

First Shoot with Miss Dizzum

Here are 20 shots from my very first shoot with Miss Dizzum! We shot these in my home studio, and it was a super fun session. She was pretty new to the industry at the time, but you wouldn’t know it—her energy was great, and her smile is seriously contagious.

Excited to share these with you all. Let me know what you think!

Verronica (September 10, 2024)

Hey everyone,

Here are 38 photos from my shoot with Verronica — 7 shot on 35mm and 8 Polaroids mixed in. Originally, we had planned to shoot outdoors, but a couple of days before the shoot I managed to tear my calf (yep, not my finest moment), so we called an audible and shot at my home studio instead.

We played around with some fun ideas during the shoot. At one point, we experimented with a gobo to cast some cool shadows of Verronica on the backdrop. Later, we added some oil f...

Patreon Post: Favorite Shoot of 2024 is Here!

The set I’ve been looking forward to posting is finally finished! This is probably my favorite shoot of 2024, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

Model Anna Lemons is absolutely stunning in this series—84 total photos, with 24 shot on 35mm film (giving it that old magazine feel) and 10 on Polaroid for some extra nostalgic vibes. From the natural light shots in my living room to the ripped-up bagg...

St. Merrique (March 7, 2024)

Hey friends,

Here is a new set featuring St. Merrique—21 images, all fresh and all fire. We played with both studio and natural light, switching things up from a bold orange backdrop to soft window light, and even some shots of her lounging on my couch. It’s a mix of moods, textures, and tones, and honestly, I love how this one came together.

Check out the full set, and let me know—do you prefer the bold, studio-lit shots or the softer, natural light ones? View Post

Oops! Fixed Now – Full Set Uploaded!

Hey everyone,

Not sure how I managed it, but I somehow only uploaded one photo instead of the full set of 26 in my last post of Vivian Cove. Oops! That’s been fixed now, so you can check out the full set. Thanks for your patience, and enjoy!

Appreciate you all!

Vivian Cove (August 18th, 2023)

Hey everyone,

Here’s another shoot with the amazing Vivian Cove. This time, we took it outdoors and headed into nature, and wow—this shoot turned out incredible. Vivian is so brave, and even though there were a few people walking by in some areas, she stayed strong and posed through it all. It really made for some stunning moments.

This set has 26 photos, and I’ve got to say, a couple of them are some of my absolute favorite outdoor artistic nudes I’ve ever shot. I'm reall...

This was my first time working with Joey Darke, and she brought incredible energy to every shot. Her vibrant red hair and strong presence made for a striking set of images. She knows how to convey emotion and attitude effortlessly, which made this session really stand out for me.

I always appreciate working with models who bring something deeper to an image, and Joey did exactly that. This set captures a mix of strength and vulnerabilit...

Sienna Hayes – A Small but Beautiful Set

This set with Sienna Hayes is only six photos. Honestly, I’m not sure why I only edited six—maybe I got distracted, maybe I thought these were the strongest at the time. Either way, I think I’ll have to go back through the full shoot when I have a moment and see if there are others worth editing.

For now, here’s what I have. Hope you enjoy them. Let me know if you’d like to see more from this set.

First Shoot with St. Merrique – A Boudoir Workshop Throwback

This set of 18 photos is from my first shoot with St. Merrique, back when I was still early in my journey working with models. It was a boudoir workshop—tiny room, five other photographers, and a lot of learning on the fly.

Workshops like this were how I got comfortable directing, finding angles in less-than-ideal spaces, and figuring out how to work with available light. Looking back, I can see how ...

Second Ever Art Nude Shoot – A Look Back

This set is special to me—it’s from my second ever shoot with a model. Before this, I had only worked in concert photography, capturing the energy of live performances. Stepping into the world of art nudes was an entirely new challenge, but one I was eager to take on.

This shoot was part of a class focused on lighting and backdrops, and I remember how exciting it felt to experiment with different setups. Even though I...

Shooting with Verronica for this '60s-inspired set was an absolute joy! From the vibrant yellow backdrop to her spot-on vintage styling, everything came together seamlessly. Her outfits, makeup, and attention to detail brought so much personality to the shoot.

In addition to the bold studio shots, we used the natural light in my living room to capture softer, storytelling moments that added a cozy, nostalgic touch. It was...
