Colby teamed up with her friend for moral support and they came up with boudoir photos as a sexy Valentine’s Day gift for her boyfriend. She was a natural in front of the camera, and I loved the little hints of her tattoos that peaked out. I appreciate so much that she let me share her beautiful images! As usual, no nudity but NSFW… (more…)
I ordered this fabulous red shirt off of Etsy and when first trying it on noticed how amazing the hood on it looked if left up! I’ve promised myself I would focus on self-portraits this year, and I knew this hood had to be used for one set. After some awkward bending, I’ve very happy with the results :)
Ali came up with a great Valentine’s Day gift for her boyfriend – a smokin’ hot boudoir session! She was absolutely gorgeous and came prepared with such a flattering wardrobe. She was so generous to let me share her images! As usual, no nudity but NSFW… (more…)
I just adore taking photos where pets are involved, so I was beyond thrilled when Janeal contacted me about family photos with her (human) daughter Erin and their furry children. Matching dogs Sniper and Guinness were so gorgeous and playful, and even though they were pretty crazy (as most dogs are!) they listened to their mom so well. I already photographed Sniper earlier last year when he was giving a demo at the MS Walk (picture after the cut), but this was the first time I actually met him. I had a great time with them, and even Erin’s adorable cat Romeo joined us for a few photos! (more…)
This is the second installment in my larger AFI-inspired photo project. You can read more about that here.
The first video I chose to photograph was “Love Like Winter,” partly because of the timing of the project (a fresh snowfall in an otherwise dry winter was something to take advantage of), and partly because of how visually rich the video is. As a result, this particular set has more images than most of the others will. It was really hard to narrow these down!

It’s time to finally introduce a project I’ll be working on over the next year, a disjointed set of images tied together only by the music that inspired them.
Each photo shoot is inspired, in some way, by a single AFI music video. I will keep going until each video of theirs, even if I don’t like the original, is complete. These are the only rules.
This project has been fermenting in my brain for quite a while, and after a desire built up to focus on learning more creative lighting, I decided it was definitely time to start! I have been a huge fan of AFI for many years and find their music to be so emotional and creativity-inducing (I usually play them when I need to power through photo editing, sew bellydance costumes, or anything else that needs a lot of creative input in very little time). Many of their videos have really interesting visuals and impactful lighting that I couldn’t resist dissecting. I’m also doing it to cope with the seemingly endless hiatus they’ve been on!
This particular photo shoot was the second I photographed, but the first I wanted to post. “The Days of the Phoenix” was the very first song I ever heard from AFI and therefore seemed fitting for the introduction.
