I wish I trusted my skills as a photographer as much as @laylaherreramx trusted that jacket would keep her covered. Not one nip slip the whole shoot.

My last post from my shoot at @jonnycreative for now. More shots from Atelier Alchimia to come later in the month. These two are a dynamic duo: @tionnabadakai and @csdresstoimpress. Styling by Jonny. As always, a big thanks to @jphsmits and the lovely @michsmitsje for inviting me to the party.

Another set from a shoot at Atelier Alchimia. It's a gorgeous studio owned by my friend @jonnycreative who has been becoming quite the celebrity. Not only is he a talented photographer, but his styling is superb. Thanks to Hans and Michelle for inviting me. Liza @live_lize deliver. And Jonny did the

So many talented artists in Denver! Thanks to Hans and Michelle for inviting me to shoot at Atelier Alchimia. Abby @copper.muse is fabulous. And big thanks to @jonnycreative for the fantastic styling.

Playing with a rainy day concept in a natural light studio. No rain. Just a spray bottle. These images are from a Meetup I hosted earlier in the spring. If you're interested in attending an event, just DM me and I'll make sure you get notifications.

Bodysocks for woman and chair. We got rid of the chair because it wasn't performing well.

Captured at my last Meetup workshop with the incredible @missmagnoliamuse.
Intimate lighting, beautiful textures, and a great creative crew.

This is my second time shooting with a horse thanks to my friend @sillvverr506 who invited me to join him. He's been living his dream these past couple summers by shooting regularly with horses. Check him out.

But the horse (Picasso) is really just a prop to showcase the lovely @strawberry_ravecak

The models with the ability to embody a character are the ones who can really take a photograph to another level. Although Nina is relatively young she has a very instinctive . Nina is one who can. She's a bit of a shape shifter. She doesn’t just strike a pose. She slips into a role. Quietly. Fully.

From my bodyscape workshop last week. Normally bodyscapes are dark (low key), but for this one I put Magnolia in front of a large softbox and let the light wrap around her for a high key look. Model: @missmagnoliamuse

One of my favorite bodyscape shots of all time. It took me a while to set up that Z-shape. Thank @latina.star for her patience.

I haven't done bodyscapes in awhile, but I just finished teaching a bodyscape workshop and it got me psyched about them again!

The lovely @laylaherreramx.

I used a reflector instead of flash for this one.

It's hard to go wrong with white on white.

Rachel is one of my favorites. I've hired her for a number of editorial shoots for magazines. She shows up ready to work and delivers. A really nice sense for line and for use of space.

Like the shoot in yesterday's post, this shoot was also an exercise in letting go, but in a different way. I had a clear vision of what these images were supposed to look like and I couldn't actualize my vision. I glanced at the images when I got home and just filed them away. I was so disappointed

Marie on the beach in Costa Rica. Full gallery in my blog. This was supposed to be a sunset bikini shoot, but we had no sun. The sky was threatening to rain. I lost a strobe in the surf and was jumping up and down a lot in the surf trying not to get my camera wet. So the images are a little raw and

I love Amy's expressiveness! She always delivers. @amyeoury

These two are always a pleasure to work with. They have such great chemistry. I love that I get to play with such cool creative souls.

Yesterday I posted a pic of Brianne from over five years ago. Here are a bunch of other shots from that session, including what might have been first attempts at recreating a film noir look. I lost touch with her, so if anyone knows her, please drop her IG handle in the comments.

Here's another throwback from about five years ago taken at the old Sunday Night Meets studio. I've lost touch with Brianna. If anyone knows her IG handle, throw it in the comments. I appreciate everyone who took the time to shoot with me even though I didn't really know what I was doing.

These are pictures from my very first photo shoot about six years ago. I had done about a decade of video production at that point, but I had never done an actual photoshoot of any kind. It was a Meetup. Super intimidating. Lots of talented photogs with their fancy gear. The most direction I had eve

I never did like wearing ties. I've also never been into fetish, but if I were, I think it would be ties.

Early work. I didn’t really know what I was doing, but somehow the light, her eyes, and that sheer came together. Still proud of this one. It's been five years since I've shot with @jazm1ne_taylor. I think it's time we shoot again.
