UPDATE 2020,  Please read:
                        Due to spread of Covid I'm seeing this as a sign to slow down.
                I'm taking just a few appointments now, mainly those I've shot with before
                        and new subjects that I feel that I can work with on creative ideas.
                                    I don't always check this website for messages,
                                so if I don't answer it's because I didn't see your text.
                          I have been fully vaccinated plus booster against Covid-19.
                              Best Wishes to all of you, keep shooting, and stay safe.
                           
                                  I'm looking for a  few models to help develop some
                                    NEW looks and ART for my, and your, portfolios.

                              Artistic, bright, dark, sexy, bold, old styles and new.
                          I'll share images with you and work with your ideas, too.

          I strive to deliver the highest quality images and prints in photography.

        Custom Model Portfolio Development - Fitness - Glamour - Artistic - Nude
            Headshots for Actors and Models - Comp (zed) Cards for Models
                                                              and much more.

Models, actresses, business professionals, housewives, students ... I will endeavor to capture a variety of expressions and poses which will show your diversity, personality, and your creative side. While shooting with everyone, my strong suit is shooting with women of all ages.
To answer your first question, you may bring an escort to the shoot. However, if they are not directly involved with the shoot (hair, makeup), they will probably be asked to wait in the waiting room or nearby if a location shoot.

Outfits? Bring the 'usual' to the outlandish. We will discuss this prior to the shoot.
What looks do you want? Stylish, sassy, feminine, sophisticated, sexy, fashionable, cheerful, funny, relaxed, soft, warm, light, dark, artistic, mysterious... ? From fashion to glamour to fitness and more, we will work together to achieve them. If you have an artistic side that likes to experiment with different lighting, poses, and effects, we can do that, too. If you have any special ideas or look a likes, I'm always willing to try those.

You will find that I am easy to work with and will listen to what type of images you want.  If you aren't sure, we will try different looks and styles to find one that you like and that works for you. I love working WITH subjects/models that want to be a part of the creative process. I will give you direction as needed; we will work together.
I have a good sense of humor and I will do everything that I can to make your sessions enjoyable and relaxing.

NOTE:  I work with all ages, but if you are under 18, you must bring a parent or legal guardian with you and be present for the shoot.

TFCD. Yes, select styles and subject to agreement on 
the look, style, and mutual release. Does not apply to prints. Please contact me.

Although not shown here, I have shot with over 600 models in the last few years.

Over the last few years, I've had the honor of shooting with over 500 models
        in over 700 Photo shoots. I thank you for your patronage and trust.
