Flowers, lace bloomers, and a piece of fabric. What else do you need? (Pink shoes?) Model: emmpocalypse

A boudoir shoot, or any shoot for that matter, isn’t about making someone feel sexy or empowered. It’s about creating a comfortable space where it becomes easy to feel, notice, and trust that it’s already there. I simply capture what happens when you give yourself permission to recognize and embody

So many gorgeous expressive images from one of my top all time collaborators. I create a blog post of these. Link link in bio. I love the barb wire twine she created. Model and styling: @ahna.greener

I've done one black tape shoot in the past, but I hired someone to tape my model. This time I gave it a try. I taped the outfit for @marietmodel_. It was about an hour or more of taping with don't know how many pieces of tape that I cut. You count them (first three images). My accomplice @peteys_por

Alex reached out to me having never modeled before. When I looked at her profile, I saw someone unafraid to be playful, awkward, and expressive. That mattered to me. The models I’m most interested in aren’t trying to appeal to an algorithm or manage an image. They’re curious about expression, about

Thanks to @william_scherrer_photography for introducing me to @feytalattraction and assisting me. The shoot was mostly an outdoor nude shoot, but I captured these images at the end so we'd have something to post to Instagram. You'll find the full set of images on my blog. Link in bio.

Paper dress. No instructions.

Power doesn’t need to behave.

I'm always delighted when someone makes art from my photos. I'm even more delighted when I get to model in one of those images. Fantastic artwork by Ali @digitaldesiress. Thanks to my collaborator @ahna.g_art and our photographer, the talented @jonnycreative

When beauty holds something back. The sense that there’s more to discover beyond the superficial. There are layers and the real story or emotion is layered in a way that’s not immediately obvious.

This shoot with @emmpocalypse shook me. I didn't understand why I felt so affected by the experience

When I hosted a "black tape" shoot, I didn't expect to help design the outfits or capture images, but I did both with the help of @peteys_portraits_. Thanks to @marietmodel_ for being patient with me as I figured it all out. Big thanks as well to @@xandradzw and @_mrs.amy.de_.

Mystery model. If you follow my work, you know who this is. Give me your guess in the comments.

Happy belated B-Day Marianna! 🥳🎉🎈🧁 She was so excited about her 21st birthday in December that she set this shoot up last August. I didn't know what we were going to shoot. We had some streamers, balloons, and some assorted party paraphernalia. But it all worked out. I was impressed at what Marianna

It's a great experience for a photographer to put themselves in their models' shoes and get in front of the camera. Rosie embraced the experience and rocked a day of shooting at a birthday party for @michsmitsje. Happy belated birthday Michelle! Styling by @jonnycreative.

The posing box. This must be classical week. Here a are few captures with Katy @catbardot30 doing some traditional figurative posing. We bonded over a discussion of kangaroo meat.

Continuing with the classical theme of the past couple of days, here's a throwback to a shoot I did with Kayleigh four years ago. I can't find her IG account, so Kayleigh, if you're reading this by any chance, please drop me a DM. I often post full sets of images on my blog and you'll find the link

This was an incredible collaboration between me, @ahna.greener, and @jonnycreative. Both Ahna and I like a very classical aesthetic and these images capture that well. You can read more about my experience doing this shoot along with a full set of images (mostly unedited) in my blog. Link in bio.

In a world overflowing with images that distort our perception of humanity, life-affirming images of the human form are banned rather than honored as something sacred. So we created a museum quality book that celebrates human beauty and nature as one timeless work of art. tinyurl.com/yrv9brbf

You need another cat. Or maybe a couple more! They are super social.

@andreaxburns looks like a painting. This image has a Baroque chiaroscuro portraiture vibe (with hints of Caravaggio). Her body forms a classic painter’s triangle with the gaze, hands, and drape pulling you into the gesture. Cameron, if you're reading this post, this light falloff is an example of g

It is always a pleasure to work with Amy She is the consummate professional. She shows up on time ready to go and always delivers an exceptional performance. One of the hardest working Denver area models I know.

I love the playful energy of @andreaxburns and sense of movement brought to this set of images.

A fantastic somewhat impromptu shoot. We were scheduled to shoot with @jonnycreative, but he ended up going to ER this morning. Feel free to send him some love. So we headed to @rawphotographic studios and just played. Someone suggested this set up on the cyc wall and I love the editorial look. This

Behind the scenes from my Creative Exploration Meetup for photographers. We had no real agenda. We just played and tried to put a twist on the ordinary. When Jerry suggested we use gels (those colored pieces of plastic you put over lights to change their color), I said, "Sure! How can we use gels in
