Kesley, Street
Wrapping up our first shoot, Kesley and I went outside to shoot her in a couple of different outfits. Have to say, I don’t know why these zippered crop tops never caught on. Because they’re awesome. The dress was something…

Anastasia
Anastasia was one of the nicer earlier surprises in my shooting career. Spent forever trying to coordinate our first shoot. Every time we’d set it up, something would come up and it would fall through. The last time we tried…
Andy
Hands down, Andy is one of the coolest people I know. And one of the sexiest. And she has the most intoxicating accent. When I met Andy in Jaco, she ran Rasta Rica, a small business built entirely around all…
Ashley
Ashley and I were actually coworkers when we met at a little sandwich shop on the beach. I always thought she had a really cool look and style so we did a couple of fashion shoots around South Beach. Super…
Care
Care and I had mutual friends in Columbia and we might have spoken once or twice. Not often. Followed her on Instagram, very “life as it is” kind of stream. Then one day I’m scrolling down and there’s this gorgeous…
Carrie
I don’t recall how Carrie and I connected but I know I was the one who reached out to her. Was totally captivated by her look. We did one shoot together and, unfortunately, not long after she moved to Germany.…
Catrina
Catrina was visiting Miami and while she was there, she and I scheduled a shoot. Very laid back shoot. I picked her up at her hotel, we drove to the metro station and then over to Little Havana, shooting some…
Dubraska
Something that always stands out in my mind with this shoot is actually getting to the location. Dubraska rode on the back of my scooter and as we were getting close to the spot, I cut a hard left in…
Emma
Emma had a travel notice up on ModelMayhem that she would be coming to the area so I reached out to set up a shoot. She’s the only woman I’ve shot that supports herself entirely from modeling. And she is…
Karol
At the time I met Karol, I had been photographing models for about eight months. Compositionally, I was beginning to find my way and I was decidedly by then all about the natural/available light. I have no recollection at all…
Katja
One of the models I photographed at the start of my photographic journey, Katja was altogether different. Visiting the area at the time (when I lived in South Beach), Katja fit none of the Miami norms for modeling and she…
Katrina
Katrina may have been the first model I shot when I moved back to the states. I had finally recuperated from dengue fever (which I had picked up in Costa Rica) and was aching to shoot. Somehow, Katrina and I…
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…
Kristina
For some reason, at the end of 2016, I made it my mission to start shooting more models more often. I think I photographed about four different models that month. In any event, Kristina was one of those models. Met…
Lakota
During the brief period when I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, I photographed a handful of models, Lakota among them. Super nice person and a model with years of experience under her belt. Had I stayed in Charlotte longer, we…
M
Sweet Jesus, M is something else. Care and I had a shoot planned one night and, on the way over, she said she was bringing a couple of friends. M was one of those friends. Was immediately and obviously sold…
Mafé
Mafé was an interesting prospect of a model. I had shot her daughter Vanessa previously and I don’t know if was her or her mother’s idea but I’m really glad that came about. Would’ve loved to have spent a little…
Michelle
Michelle was a friend of a friend. I thought she was beautiful and she wanted to shoot so we did. Would’ve like to have shot her more than just the once. So for this outing, we planned to just shoot…
Paige Cowell
Paige is a well-known bikini model who shoots the occasional implied nude. I actually became familiar with her when I was living in Charlotte, NC in 2015. She was also living somewhere around there back then. I never reached out…
Samanda
Samanda reached out to me for a shoot while I was living in Jaco. There was a tree in a mountain town that she specifically wanted to shoot beside. So she, her sister, and her mother picked me up the…
Sierra
Sierra responded to an ad I had on craigslist. I have to give her enormous amounts of credit because after I moved to Columbia, I couldn’t find my groove. Had an impossible time finding models and the shoots that I…
Taty
Taty was a friend of a friend. I always thought she was just beautiful and I don’t remember if she reached out to me or if I reached out to her but she planned the shoot, pretty much. She picked…
Vanessa
The first shoot I did with Vanessa was a surfer girl shoot on the beach and I absolutely loved those shots. Not sure why but it was almost a year later before we’d shoot again. Vanessa has the distinct honor…
