Mo, Purple Lingerie
I generally keep a small wardrobe of assorted lingerie on hand for shoots, items that I’ve purchased that didn’t get used in shoots but might be able to be used at a later date. There was an item I purchased specifically for the Warehouse shoot with Mo but when we got to the warehouse, we…

M, Under the Lights III
What is this? Didn’t you already shoot an Under the Lights set with M in that exact outfit? Yes. And I brought her back in to redo this set because I completely goofed the first set. Somehow, I had moved the focus point during that shoot to some far off spot and blew about 300…

-
M, Under the Lights I
Had purchased this piece for shooting and thought it might work well for M. I think it worked just fine. 🙂
-
Care, Red Coat
I bought this red coat for a particular model and we never ended up shooting in it. Mentioned it to Care and so we did a few quick shots inside with her wearing it. Still have the coat. I need to find the right spot. Still, love the shots of Care.
-
Carrie, Porch
Shot on the back porch of a building in the middle of town, surrounded by a bunch of college-kid filled duplexes. This was the second set Carrie and I shot and this was the last time I had models take self-portraits with the Instax camera as I somehow managed to lose the little lens adjustment…
-
Julia, Lights
One of the smallest sets, this was more experiment than anything. I had just purchased these lights and wanted to do a little DOF shooting with them, uncertain how I was going to use them. Julia obliged magnificently. (I’d use these lights later for the Under the Lights project.)
-
Julia, At the Park
One of the longer-running projects I’m shooting features the bicycle pictured here in the shoot. Julia was the first model I’d shoot with it.

Kristina, Tree
There was this great tree in the yard where I was living in Ybor that I would’ve used a lot more than I did were it not for the fact that there were neighbors in eyesight literally on all sides of the place. But Kristina and I knocked out this quick lingerie set there which…
-
Tracey, The Traveler
This was a good look that Tracey wore really well. I was sold on that hat before she brought it. And then all of this together was perfection.
-
Tracey, Soviet America
The red could not have been more red. And red looks sexy on comrade Tracey. 🙂 In Soviet America, model shoots photographer!
-
Tracey, Futon
Tracey is one of the leggiest models I’ve photographed, accentuated even moreso by the shortness of the couch.
-
Virginia, Ybor
The most fun-sized model I’ve photographed, Virginia was right at 5″ tall. If that. Super sweet person.
-
Samanda, The Tree
True story: So Samanda wanted to shoot with a very specific tree located in a town pretty far north of where we were in Costa Rica. This shoot was an all-day adventure. Spent hours driving (with the family) to where the tree was located. Spent another 30-45 minutes hiking up a mountain to get to…
-
Vanessa, Black Lingerie
The simplicity of this, I’ve always loved. Vanessa could not have been more perfect in this moment.
-
Vanessa, Balcony
Another shoot during the long stretch of time when I was shooting everything in manual focus which, for this shoot, was a shame as there were far too many missed shots. Loved these shots of Vanessa, though.
-
Mafé, Condo II
While we were on the balcony, Mafé had a few onlookers from another balcony so we ended up inside pretty quickly.
-
-
Vivienne, Black
For our second shoot, I had booked a room at El Presidente in South Beach to host multiple shoots. This set with Vivienne was a subset of the shoot with her and Gabriella (who wasn’t feeling particularly well that day which is why I ended up taking a lot more photos of Vivienne.)
-
-
Gabriella, Hotel Room
Gabriella wasn’t feeling particularly well at the shoot so I ended up shooting more individual sets with Vivienne. But we did shoot this one mini-set while they were there.
-
Vivienne + Gabriella, Hotel Room
The second and last shoot with Vivienne and Gabriella. Fantastic models, fun to work with. Neither went on to pursue modeling as a career although Gabriella ended up moving to Dubai and becoming an Instagram fitness personality with a pretty substantial following.
-
Steffany, The Green Room
Shot at El Presidente hotel on South Beach, this was the second shoot with Steffany.
-
Allison, Spray Paint
When I lived in Jaco, there were a number of people shaping and designing boards, from world-renowned professionals to amateurs. I don’t know how this came about at all but Allison wanted to spray paint a blank. No idea where the board came from, what inspired her to do spray paint it, or why I…
-
Allison, Mirador II
The second set from our first lingerie shoot. Allison is a knockout. Same location as the previous set but what a difference the outfit makes.
-
Allison, Mirador I
The first set from the first lingerie shoot with Allison. Shot at the Mirador, this fantastic, graffiti-covered structure up in the mountains just outside of Jaco.
-
Jess, Bedroom
I’m sure if I gave it any thought I could remember the name of this boutique hotel where we shot. But it was pretty perfect for what we were shooting. The pop of red from her Louboutin’s accented the photos nicely. The photos in the sweats at the end were sort of in-between shots from…
-
Kesley, Houston
When I was traveling back across the country, I stayed with a friend for a night or two who was gracious enough to let me do a shoot in her place with Kesley. We shot a variety of outfits in her place, from fashion to lingerie, and then took a few shots downstairs around the…
-
Karol, Lingerie II
I’m not sure why we revisited the lingerie but this was the second set with Karol in her home in the same lingerie. I mean, it’s not that it was a bad thing. I just don’t know why we shot it again. The first set seemed fine. But I do love her in the doorway…
