I’m grateful to have 20 plus shoots with the ever talented model and friend Taylor. We captured this portrait in one of my favorite studios, Lucent, which sadly has now closed. The soft, diffused light shining through the sheer curtains was magical

Model Courtney is consistently traveling around the country and exploring the great outdoors. I’m glad I had the chance to shoot with her when her travels brought her to Ventura County. Her free flowing movements make for excellent portraits

Often with one outfit, you can create a variety of portraits, either through adjusting the outfit or through using a variety of different angles and poses to make various unique looks as shown here from my photo shoot with Brittani.

I shot these portraits with traveling model Mara Daniels inside a Los Angeles condo. There was beautiful light coming in from a window overlooking a canal feeding into the Pacific Ocean. Nondescript backdrops can make for quality portraits to leave nothing to distract the users eyes from the focu...

I’ve always been drawn to working with individuals who radiate self confidence and who show it through their work. I’ve been fortunate to get to work with model Kalham who is expressive and free flowing with her movements, poses.

I love nature areas for photo shoots. With a good amount of trees, you don’t always have to arrive at sunrise to enjoy the best light. The trees can help to diffuse the harsh direct light and make for this soft glow as shown with this shoot with model Annie King

Sometimes the simplest things like elevating your feet can make a difference and showcase your calves for example. Friend and model Sarah Marie always crushes it with her free flowing poses.

I captured this portrait with model Asia (Winniehoneey on Instagram) on the side of a home as part of a group shoot. Sometimes random, off the wall settings can make for beautiful portraits if you’re thinking creatively.

Kylie has an innate ability to showcase a strong, powerful pose that will help to draw in viewers attention. The portrait is even stronger with her attention focused squarely on the camera.

Sadly, this studio, Lucent, is no longer open. I was grateful to have done a lot of shoots here beforehand including this session with Taylor, who blends boudoir and editorial with this great wardrobe look.

I always like when a portrait makes it seem like the photographer isn’t even there, as if you’re capturing a moment in time. I took this portrait of model and friend Sarah Marie with this contemplative look in this studio setting.

I’m always looking for different perspectives to capture a portrait in a way that’s different from the norm. I captured this portrait with model Tiny Dancer and the combination of the overhead perspective and her great posing skills made for an excellent portrait.

I’ve been fortunate to work with model Brittany Adore numerous times now, and for this shoot, the window light offered these beautiful light and shadow patterns across the edge of the studio. It made for a great way to illuminate Brittany but also add this element of mystery with the shadows. <...

A bathroom setting can make for an excellent setting for portraits with the steam and warmth from the shower creating possibilities for excellent detail portraits.

I’ve long been a fan of photo shoots in nature and using the setting to create compelling portraits. I liked the candid, authentic, natural vibe with this portrait of model Katy Hedges where it feels like the photographer isn’t even there.

I like using indoor settings as you can shoot pretty much any time of day with window light. For this midday shoot, the sun light created essentially a spotlight effect and made for this great way to illuminate model Brittany (_BrittanyAdore_ on Instagram).

I’m always looking for creative ways balance and frame my portraits. For this studio shoot with traveling model Kalham (Kalhamamor on Instagram), I used foreground blur from the studio blind on the left along with the couch to her right to place the focus on her in the center.
Lexi (baabyog on Instagram) is a natural at posing. We shot this in harsh sunlight so to have her fully illuminated, I had Lexi lay down and let the sun fully light her up.
