LADY IN RED

Zoe is one of the few great new models I’ve met this summer that has intrigued me as much as she has inspired me. We’ve only had one shoot together, with a second this coming week, but her passion, openness, and sincere vulnerability and ability to overcome i...

Double Exposure Stories

Last night, as I was knee deep in a photo editing marathon when I was contacted by McKenzie, the adorable 20 year old who hand knits all the crocheted bikinis I use in my shoots. She had a rare night off and wanted to come over to shoot. Though I was busy, I knew how rare it was for her to have a free evening, and even more rare that she'd be brave enough to leave the house alone and drive on her own the twenty minutes (that's a long drive in her nervous mind) just to come see me.

By the time ...

Awakenings, pt.1

I would have labeled this series under my "When Test Shoots Go Right" heading, but this shoot was almost like nothing I'd shot in a while. This wasn't just a great test shoot, it was hopefully the start of a great working relationship. I hope you enjoy this sweet, fun, talented new beauty and the genuine joy and spirit she projects in her images.

AWAKENINGS

Last Sunday I had noticed a young woman had liked several of my images on Instagram, and clicking on her profile I discovered she had a stunning face. She was bubbly and adorable and had that perfect "commercial" look. I messaged her and asked if she'd ever been interested in mode...

ALL THAT GLITTERS, pt. 2

ALL THAT GLITTERS

I believe it was Picasso who coined the sentence “Good artists copy, but great artists steal.” This quote is somewhat dated, since many painters at that time literally copied the paintings of past masters. Still, the concept remains the same. I’ve often said that I’...

SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND

One night a few weeks ago, Whitney had come over to sit on my sofa and drink margaritas. Actually, it was a concoction I had made up of juices and alcohol I had on hand, to which we began calling them “Mark-aritas,” but that’s just a stupid side note.

The Birth of a Legend!

Hello, all!

So last night I had an incredible shoot with a beautiful young woman, Tazia (pronounced Tah-Zee-Uh). I was so surprised and pleased with her that I just had to share her with you immediately. She has NEVER posed for a photographer before, but for some reason has been a fan of my work for a while. Go figure! 

I apologize for the quality of these computer screen captures from my phone, but I frankly didn't have time last night/this morning to process or edit any of them. B...

PASTEL PRINCESS

I saw an image of Zoe online two weeks ago and was floored. I’m not too impressed by beauty anymore, or rather, it takes a lot for me to be bowled over by someone’s looks after having worked with some of the most beautiful women in California the last decade or so. But he...

Ah, Lillias.

This shoot has two of my favorite things, pale skin and mirror reflection. One of the feelings I try to capture is the concept of voyeurism in my images. I like creating the illusion that what you are seeing in my images is a moment you maybe weren’t me...

Earlier this year world-traveling-model Roarie Yum stopped by for a visit, and before she left she gave me this shirt, saying to use it with one of my models. So when Kaitlin and I finally arranged to shoot together, I knew she would be perfect.
