Halloween.

And not long after my first shoot back, I jumped into another one. October being what it is, of course the theme was Halloween. Darker looks, dramatic makeup, costumes with just the right amount of flair. It all came together into that October vibe. There were a number of models at this shoot. One of…

Networking.

Not long after my return, I stumbled across a local photography group that was organizing a shoot in the next town over. I figured, why not. It was a chance to ease back into the scene and maybe meet some people along the way. I’m still settling in, so I didn’t end up shooting much…

SoCal.

I’ve made up my mind. I’ve moved back down to Southern California. I tried to love the northern part of the state, but at the end of the day, I’m a SoCal kid through and through. The rhythm, the energy, even the weather. It feels like home in a way the north never did. I…

Still here.

I’m still alive. It’s been a long nine months since my last post, and I wish I could say things have been exciting, but the truth is, most of my days have been swallowed up by work, leaving me with very little room for anything else. That said, I did manage to carve out a…

San Francisco.

I’ve officially moved to San Francisco. It feels surreal. Like I’ve just turned the page and started a whole new chapter. The city is alive in a way that’s hard to put into words. It’s all so different from what I’m used to, and I can already feel the inspiration buzzing in the background. Part…

Farewell.

This might be my last shoot for the year. Life’s been a bit bumpy lately, and I can’t help but wonder if I need a change of scenery. Or maybe even walk away from everything I’ve built just to figure out where I really belong. Or perhaps it’s time to step back and breathe, to…

Superheroes and villains.

I had a feeling Cheri was up to something, but I never imagined it would be this. Turns out she had secretly been designing superhero outfits built around her specialty: corsets. And she didn’t just sketch them out, she actually brought them to life. The best part is she already had everyone’s measurements, so she…

The New Year.

Another shoot to kick off the new year, and it definitely set the tone for what’s to come. The designer went all out with the wardrobe. Every piece had an extra level of detail and flair that made it stand out. To top it off, we even had a slightly famous model step in to…

Publicity shoot.

By word of mouth, I got recommend for and ended up getting hired to do a publicity shoot for an up-and-coming vocal artist. I could tell this was going to be more involved than my usual shoots. Her manager was deeply engaged in the entire process, from concept brainstorming to the finer details of the…

Goth.

A goth-themed shoot sounded like a fun idea, and it definitely lived up to the expectation. The outfits were fantastic. Dark, layered, dramatic. With all the little details that make the style stand out. From lace and leather to heavy boots and bold accessories. Everything came together to create the exact mood we were going…
