Care, All Natural Larry I
Care came over with her stuffed friend Larry who she doesn’t go anywhere without. (He’s been hanging out in the car the times we’ve been shooting.) No makeup and wanted to do an all natural shoot. So we did. First against the studio backdrop and then on the bed. This is the first set against…

Care, Stars on the Beach

Care, Hotel Shower
After shooting at the pool that morning, Care got in the shower. I hadn’t intended to shoot in there because it was honestly a terrible looking shower for a shoot. However, Care wanted photos so I took a few. At some point, I really need to get a nice hotel room with a nice bath/shower…
-
Care, Dress on the Beach
I had purchased this dress a few months before I met Care and finally had a place where it made sense. Not a perfect fit but I don’t think it really mattered since she wasn’t in it long. 🙂 Shot at a very public, very occupied beach. And not a nude beach. Sad note: while…

Care, Balcony I
Care and I took a trip down to Myrtle Beach and stayed in a hotel so we could knock out a few shoots in the area. This was day two, getting ready before leaving the hotel. Also, pro-tip: if you have a choice between oceanfront and ocean-view rooms, always go with oceanfront.
-
Care, Atalaya
On our trip to Myrtle Beach, one of the plans was to find a nice stretch of deserted beach where we could shoot freely. Did a little searching and found Huntington Beach State Park. When we got there, it was drizzling and there was this nice landmark home there, Atalaya. So we wandered through there…

Care, House of Mirrors
After getting to Myrtle Beach and getting some food in our bellies, our first stop (the one that was a definite plan) was the Mirror Maze. Care had a dress she wanted to shoot with inside and it worked out beautifully. The lights kept shifting colors which actually made for some great, great shots. Not…
-
Care, Candy Store
After the House of Mirrors, Care and I stopped into a candy store for some treats and a few photos.
-
Care, Arcade
Closing out our first day at the beach, we went to a local arcade on the strip for some shots. Funny story: the first thing that Care tries out is one of those big prize grab machines. And she manages to get a massive blue bouncy ball on her first try. That winning streak would…
-
Care, Blood Orange Bath
This was fun. This was entirely Care’s idea and it came together pretty much exactly how I thought it would. The “blood” was a mixture of food coloring and corn syrup and I want to say chocolate? In any event, I love these shots. One of my favorite sets with Care.
-
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.
-
Care, Mirror
This was our third shoot together and I had already realized, going in, that Care was most definitely the model I wanted to shoot for a while. Something from my early days (with Madison Scott) that I wanted to get back to was incorporating mirrors. Not a decision I regret. At all. The (massive) full…
-
Care, Test Shoot
Kind of a last minute thing after the More $ shoot with Care. Had a concept I had been wanting to execute but it wasn’t quite working in this space (the stairwell in my apartment.) Still want to shoot it but need to find the right models and right locations for it.
-
Care, More $
Shot at an emptied out room above a shop in Five Points. The chair was broken, a remnant from the shop below. The sprayed lettering was already there which worked out well. Almost 40 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage.

Sierra, Bicycle I
Out with Sierra on a mostly deserted road on the southeast side of Columbia, on one incredibly hot day.
-
Care, Under the Lights
The second set from our first shoot, Care, again, nailed it. Care does seductive well.
-
Care, Mid-Century Casting Couch
This is the first set from the first shoot with Care. We had known each other (or of each other) for a while. Followed her on instagram and she was posting normal everyday kind of posts. Then one day, this photo of this great-looking redhead shows up on my feed. And I realize it’s her.…
-
Sierra, Under the Lights
Sierra’s just a great model. And in this set, she gave me one of my all-time favorite shots; three guesses which one it is.
-
Sierra, Members Only
In the midst of the couch shoot, we took a little interlude and Sierra donned her Members Only jacket.
-
Sierra, Mid-Century Casting Couch
The first set with Sierra, I fell in love. I so wish that we had been able to shoot more than we did but we could never seem to coordinate schedules.
-
Cre, Under the Lights
Cre was cool. Killer eyes. Should’ve done more with her but kept the shoot pretty limited.
-
Cre, Mid-Century Casting Couch
The second model I would shoot on the casting couch was Cre and this was the first “settled” position for the couch. Such a great model to work with.

-
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…
-
Carrie, Parks + Recreation
The first set with Carrie. We took a few very casual shots before this with her in another outfit but it didn’t quite pull together into a workable set. Carrie has phenomenal eyes. Just amazing. And thankfully the dress didn’t distract from them too much. Had bought it off of Amazon for the shoot and…

Lux, Mid-Century Casting Couch
Lux was fun. Super nice. The shoot went on for a lot longer than I anticipated but worth it.
