Jordan, Surfer Girl
When I was living in Costa Rica, there was a brief period where I was shooting a weekly feature for an online news/entertainment site: Surfer Girl of the Week. Jordan modeled for this one week. I caught serious grief for…

Tammy, Jaco I
Pretty much every place in Costa Rica, from the towns to the jungles make for excellent backdrops. So I did the lazy thing with Tammy and shot on the north end of Jaco. I mean, I did do some scouting…
Tammy, Jaco II
The continuation of Jaco I. Lot of candids in here which are always fun. Something peculiar you might notice in the photos with Tammy sitting on the rock (apart from the chicken in the background) is an abundance of trash.…
Elissa, Jaco
The one and only set from the one and only shoot with Elissa. One of the most visually striking models I’ve ever worked with and it wasn’t that brilliant hair, either. All of her features together just created this image…
Allison, On the Rocks
I can’t even describe how painful these rocks were to stand on. It was like walking on next-level legos. Allison was cool enough to brave it as the waves were crashing around and we seriously pushed the limits here: staying…
Allison, Surfer Girl
The first set from the first shoot with Allison was for a “Surfer Girl of the Week” series I was doing for an online news/entertainment site in Costa Rica.
Jordan, Hostel
There was this new hostel opening up while I was in Jaco, just on the south end of town. As hostels go, this place was pretty sweet. So Jordan and I did a shoot there. The photos were intended to…
Jess, Under the Bridge
The first shoot with Jess, under the overpass to the beach. Hired an MUA who I had never worked with previously specifically because I was going to submitting these photos for a particular submission. Dug Jess’ look. The MUA’s work,…
Kesley, Beach
This was the last shoot of a marathon day with Kesley and the first bikini shoot I ever shot. I don’t know how it worked out that the white balance was completely screwed in these shots but I was still…
A Thing of Booty, Volume 1
Volume 1 from the series, this set focuses exclusively on bikini bottoms.
Ade
Ade and I met through mutual friends. As Ade was into yoga, we planned the shoot around that with her striking various poses on the beach. Ade was awesome. I wish we had met much sooner than we had. Two…
Allison
One of the great things about the small towns in Costa Rica (and really, anywhere) is that you know everyone if you don’t at least know of them. So Allison was visiting a friend at a neighboring cabina in Jaco…
Chelsea
Chelsea was another model shot for the online news/entertainment site out of Costa Rica. Really nice person and fun to shoot. The oddity of shooting at Lummus Park is that it sits on Ocean Drive, one of the most recognizable…
Cindy
My first shoot with Cindy was really a shoot with Leidy and Cindy at a local hotel, Doce Lunas. I had seen her around (Jaco is a super small town) but we hadn’t met prior to that day. I was…
Daniela
Daniela caught my eye from the first time I saw her. It was on the main drag in Jaco and she came whipping by on skates, twirling and swaying from side to side. Just right in the middle of the…
Elissa
If pressed, I couldn’t tell you how my path crossed with Elissa. Obviously, it was in Jaco but I can’t remember specifically. What I do remember, though, is seeing professional photos of Elissa before we ever shot. And I feel…
Gabriella
I had come back to the states from Costa Rica for a brief period in the summer of ’14 and had been contributing weekly to a Model of the Week feature for an online news/entertainment publication back in CR. When…
Irmina
Another beautiful person I met in Costa Rica was Irmina. And I don’t know how we met, but then, how does anyone meet in Costa Rica? Friend of a friend, I’m sure. In any event, we did two brief shoots…
Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn was another model I photographed for the model of the week feature I was doing for the online news/entertainment site based out of Costa Rica at the time. Grateful she responded and I wish we had shot more than…
Jess
Funny story about Jess. So some media outlet was having some sort of competition looking for photographers and I was really excited about it. After looking for a model, Jess came to the forefront. So our first shoot was all…
Jordan
Another long-term visitor to Costa Rica, Jordan and I did a total of three shoots: one at a hostel, one on the beach, and another at a local area pool. Super nice person and easy to shoot. Something about her…
Julz
Julz was another model I shot for the Costa Rican news/entertainment website the summer of ’14 when I was back in the states. Luckily for me, Julz was visiting from California at the time. She had been a regular model…
Kendra
Kendra was one of the models I shot specifically for a weekly feature running in a news/entertainment site out of Costa Rica at the time. Shot really well. I wish I had done more justice to her eyes because they…
Kesley
One of the first models I photographed, I was always a tremendous fan of Kesley. Not only was she a pleasant person but she was just so great to shoot. It always felt like a collaborative effort. And she was…
Leidy
Leidy was one of the coolest people I knew in Jaco. We had mutual friends and actually, I think it was my best friend there that introduced us. Our first shoot started on the road outside of my little cabina…
Milan
Milan was another model I shot for the Costa Rican online news/entertainment site that I had been shooting the Model of the Week feature for in 2014. During our first shoot, she told me that a family member designed all…
Model Anon
This lovely woman and I worked together once during the summer of ’14. Interestingly, the bikini she’s wearing was only used in one other shoot. And THAT model also preferred to keep her identity anonymous. You’ll notice that the backdrop…
Steffany
Steffany was another one of the models I shot for the publication in Costa Rica. Our first shoot was at the 1111 Lincoln Road parking garage. Her super small frame on her long legs worked perfectly there against the lines.…
Stephanie
Stephanie is one of the most beautiful women. Just stunning. We worked together only twice and, man, I wish we had shot more. .
Tammy
Tammy is the only Australian model I’ve photographed and she pretty much sold me on the continent. 🙂 Sadly, we only shot one time together while in Costa Rica. Between her and Andy, I’ve got some traveling I need to…
