I’ve always loved beautiful and evocative photography. Growing up in the age of classic magazines such as Life, National Geographic, Playboy, Vogue and others, along with the great rock album art of the 70’s my interests were driven to themes that are reflected in my work today.

While my professional photography consists mostly of boudoir and personal branding work, I love working on a wide variety of personal projects in between jobs.

I encourage all prospective models to check out my references. Most of my models, both professionals and first-timers have returned for multiple shoots. I take pride in my professionalism and work to earn the trust and respect of those I get the opportunity to work with.

The best results always come from a comfortable shooting environment. You are welcome to bring an escort that can provide encouragement and assistance if you’d like.

Communication

This is the foundation of a successful collaboration. Timely responses to messages and email are important for a variety of scheduling reasons as well as being good business practice. I make a point to answer all communications within 24 hours of receipt.
