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 out until it was almost risky (as the tide was coming in) and no water…

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 be used for promo material for the hostel but I’m not sure they ever used…

Jessica, Jacó
When I first moved to Costa Rica, I was leery of shooting models and it wasn’t until after I moved to Jacó that I felt comfortable enough to shoot. Jessica was the first model I photographed there and the purpose was solely for generic/faceless photography for which I had somehow imagined I would use for…

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 photographic peculiarities with this shoot: 1) we shot all of this in crazy harsh and…

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 one day and we were introduced. We set up our first shoot for the next…

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 of her own hand-crafted footwear and jewelry. Sandal-less sandals (see photos) and body chains. All…
-
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 always surprised that she didn’t model more than she did. I mean, she has THE…
-
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 hustle and bustle of life, there she was, skating by. Pretty soon after that, I…
-
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 like that was the impetus for us shooting. Because I’m sure I reached out to…
-
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 over a week’s time.
-
Jessica
When I first moved to Costa Rica, I was leary of shooting models and it wasn’t until after I moved to Jaco that I felt comfortable enough to shoot. Jessica was the first model I photographed there and the goal was to shoot very generic/faceless photography for which I had somehow imagined a purpose. The…
-
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 photos I just love. Wholesome.
-
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 there before heading down to the beach. Running into the guy with the horse was…
-
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 more time shooting with her before I left the country. Our first shoot was actually…
-
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 do.
-
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 of being the only model who I’ve shot with their mother. They didn’t shoot together…
