VIDEO TEASER: Jenna at the Dunes

I have a huge backlog of video clips I've shot over the last several years. Thankfully I now have a video intern, Teresa Gonzalez, so I'm able to present her edits of what I shot. Here is the first one she ever worked on. The footage was taken in Spring of 2016, I'm so sorry it's taken so long to get out!

This video, like all my videos, can be found only at the $25 Level!

This was taken well over a year ago, when model Jenna was first starting to become comfortable appearing a bit more sexy in her images. This was edited by my great new intern Teresa Gonzalez, I hope you like it. Let me know what you think!

Youth is beauty. Beauty is truth. It’s far too easy to find young, attractive women willing to pose for photos these days. And I still don’t know how to feel about it.
