Memoirs of Steph

Gold Glitter

This was a gallery back several years ago. Steph and a model named Carry, who became a friend of ours eventually, did one of the first body paint shoots I did, which I named Gold Glitter. I'll post more on this soon. 

I did not feel comfortable painting the both of them so they painted...

Updates in Progress

We are photo-shooting today a couple looks, I should have a preview later.

It was brought to my attention that a lot of previous posts were not able to be seen in the new Appreciation Tier. I apologize for that. I realized now, I have to go back through and update each post...

AI Generated Filters

Last night I downloaded Lensa ai. an app that uses, as the name suggests, ai to id your subject in a photo and can generate new backgrounds, or looks for your photo. I prefer to do it manually, but it it crazy to see where tech is going in terms of art, and its use of digital effects, and ai.&nbs...

Jean Grey

She said this look reminded her of Xmen character Jean Grey. Here's one look to the new lingerie looks for this week. Video coming soon. Also a lot of new content coming to various tiers as well this week.

No Intent Style of Shooting

Often times I go into a shoot with no idea of what I want or what I'll get out of the shoot. I don't pose, and I just consider the fundamentals in terms of manual exposure and lighting. It's fun to see what you come up with.

This was a shoot back in 2018, I snapped this mid pose as she was ...

Portrait of the Day: Spicy Heat

Here was a shoot a few months back using a gobo (light shaper) mounted on an Aputure 300x a continuous light. I had one of my strobes in the back ground with the modeling light turned on so it was continuous as well.

I decided it would be more powerful to just use a clean background with th...

More Green

We are filming and photographing more this weekend. A few new looks, along with no looks. 

Question though:

I am considering asking her to shave, it's getting a little distracting for lingerie looks. What do you think?

Little Helper

I was editing yesterday in my garage/office, I heard Steph get home from work, a few minutes, a knock at my door, and she was dressed like this (first photo) I figured it was time to photoshoot, so that's what we did. 

She stayed dressed in the second look for a while after the shoot. ...

This is Nothing New

She knows I like a look when it inspires a reaction. She’s just so beautiful.

Cruella

Steph and I would like to say thanks to Newman, Chad and a few others for personally sponsoring or selecting some fun looks. The great thing about looks is they can be saved, reused, and modified for several different shoots.

This was more of a fun test shoot, the home studio was not availa...

Good night touches

Steph with shadow. Our pup, whose been with us 10’years now. I keep trying to get Steph new pants but she’s set on these. We are headed to bed now after a long day. Hope you all have a great night.

Tonight’s workout

I was busy with clients this evening but Steph got after it at the gym then came and helped me. We’ve been talking some on the direction for new content we want to try and launch and have got some good feedback from a few of you.

I had this idea of taking some of the characters she has p...

Purple

This shoot was named Purple because she initially came out for the shoot wearing a purple dress. I did not like the dress very much, she agreed, so she took it off and we got these shots. 

I may have posted some of the edits previously, but here are the unedited shots. I have no idea w...

Blue Wall (top tier)

August 2019, I had just painted a wall in a spare room I was using as an office. Steph was helping me. She was home from work after breaking her foot. We got done with the project and admired the finished paint job. 

I had a DSLR at the time a Canon 5Dmk4. I asked her if she'd like to ...

Portal- Full Gallery

I meant to post the full set sooner. We did not do nude looks here unfortunately, we were just testing some lighting with some filmmakers. But this was the scene I lit and some of the behind the scenes photos. 

Before your, camera, pose, your look, or anything, I always consider lighti...

Photos Spark...

Lingerie Haul

We are on the fence of a new tier. I have a link ready for the top tier awaiting her approval. I may start that next month.

December Red Looks

Today’s looks. Steph looked amazing. She did a 5 mile run then we photographed 4 new looks. I’ll have some photos and videos soon.

Unprofessional

I'm just trying to do my job and have do deal with this kind of behavior. 

haha but for real new looks coming. We spent the afternoon photographing and filming.

Spartan 1- How we got the helmet

I was going to post on our second photoshoot we ever did, but came across this old shoot, again from 2018. 

At this point I was working small photography jobs and appealing to clients for my use of lighting. People did not want to use me so much for formal or corporate work but rather ...

Light Showers: The first photoshoot of MoS

Happy Thanksgiving 

I may of posted some of these before but without the context.

This was a very special shoot for me. By no means is it technically good, but rather a benchmark in my photography journey.

Back in early 2018 I had just got a new and upgraded studio lighting...

BNW one Afternoon

A client who hired me for some high key headshots was running a little late one day last year. Steph was assisting in the shoot that day. I naturally, had her stand in for me as a test subject. I turned monochrome on in my camera, (I just felt like the photos were more powerful without color here...

Self Care Selfie

She came home from work, we went to the gym, then she asked to have some time just to relax and take a bath. She rarely takes bath's. 

I went out on my porch to get some fresh air. One of my neighbors saw me and started talking with me, we had a conversation about bourbon as he is star...

Nerdy girl photo dump of the day.

The first photo popped up in my “on this day” tab in my photos, then another (2nd) from the following year. I did a new lingerie edit (3rd photo), the forth is her getting dressed for the day, and the 5th shot was a few minutes ago at the gym. And the lst shot is her mandolorian suit progress...

What would another tier look like? (Top Tier)

This post is just me thinking with you on top tier. 

Offering a tier to better manage and to offer requests, looks supporters send, and to offer a private l i # k I pay for (photo and Video) I've considered a final and fourth tier. I've thought about it for a while, and do not want to ...

Wolverine

She'd crush this roll I think...

It was her idea to burn bullet holes in the shirt, which I thought was a great touch.

After the Shoot

Sometimes after a shoot we will just sit together and talk or do other things. 

I got this rug because she gets really cold really easily, especially in the home studio. After the Wolverine Shoot yesterday, I asked if I could get a nude look, she took off her clothes and laid down on t...

Project: Wolverine

Here's a look at today's theme shoot. Something I have wanted to do for a while. I wasn't feeling it this shoot however... I may try again out doors or with a second person involved. I needed a shot where she was actually cutting someone in half or something. 

Which do you like better ...

Evening Chill

From the shoot 2 days ago, I got some casual looks. We are about to shoot now another concept. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

Workouts

As you may know she’s big into her workouts and appreciating the results. As of this month she’s no longer a certified personal trainer but she’s still trying to help people be active and live healthier. Some of the best things you can do are committing to a time where you allow yourself to...

Lingerie Haul Episode 4

This week's lingerie looks Steph and I worked on yesterday. Obviously, you on Patreon will have a better and uncensored version tomorrow. Feel free to follow her on youtube, twitter and IG, but as most of you know Patreon is where we focus a majority of our engagement, and is a place we can freel...
