Natalie Amari - Tiara - POV BTS

Natalie Amari - Tiara (Preview)

Patreon recently alerted me that I have exceeded 100 'free' members aka followers and suggested that I make a post for y'all. I had never thought that was an option so I figured I'd post some sfw edits from a shoot I just put on the TL and see just how much visibility it gets! For all I know, mem...

Natalie Amari - Tiara

Great news, I’m supposed to be working with Natalie again next week! This time I’m going to get her into the Studio for something less setting focused, like all of her other shoots have been. I’ve also got plans for a couple spots on the property that I think would make a good backdrop to m...

Jordan West - Sunset Romp

This is probably my favorite scene with Jordan, just an outstanding look at her body. I really like the legs sticking out on the corner of the bed look so pardon me for including a bunch of those. Shot this with the Rokinon 35mm 1.4 and raw sunset, the golden tones against the green'ish carpet ma...

Lahanna - Chaise

Lahanna is back! We met up in Grass Valley for a quick session. Heather helped set everything up with her… not that I couldn’t, but she has had an agreement that prevented her from shooting with like 50% of photographers haha. We were supposed to shoot nude, but her situation changed...

Heather Monique - Tights - POV BTS

Heather Monique - Tights

Mid-morning light streamed through the cabin windows, hitting the blue rug jusssst right. The contrast between Heather, the rug and the wood flooring all complimented each other so well, I was VERY hype to shoot this scene. Heather is beautiful and works the fuck out of this rug with some of thes...

Jordan West - Influencer Entryway

Jordan West in what we can only assume is a hallway/entryway/influencer photo op location inside the airbnb? Anytime I see a wall-based planter or some kind of plant-like-thing attached to a wall I automatically assume it's to cater to influencers who love that kind of cheesy shit. Jordan rocks i...

Alice Crowe - Beam

Alice Crowe - Beam

I used a sun tracking app to get an idea of how and, most importantly, when to shoot in this bedroom. The window wasn't exactly big, and the angle would have to be usable. We were fortunate on the latter, but it was going to be tight squeeze. I set like two timers and an alarm and got Alice in th...

Natalie Amari - Sauna - POV BTS

Natalie Amari - Sauna

Natalie has a completely unearned level of trust with me when shooting. She doesn't seem to care what's between the sensor and her, she's gonna model her ass off no matter what. Knowing this, I decided to realllyy push it a bit with my 16mm sigma, a crop lens, and what I use for my facecam when I...

Charlé Jay - Jimi's Room

Misty's place is brimming with retro culture from Bowie to 2pac (yes, retro) and now Jimi himself. Charlé was feeding off this energy, bringing that confidence and bold sexiness to her modeling. I've shot in this room a few times, and each time I light the place completely different. Here I'm st...

Alice Crowe - Suburbia - POV BTS

Alice Crow - Suburbia

Alice and I were just winging it for so much of this shoot. I mean, I had specific plans that required the sun to be in certain places, but in the downtime her and I were able to just make shit up and I loved it. I brought this pirate-style blouse that I picked up at a second-hand that she instan...

Natalie Amari - Heart Shaped Crop - POV BTS

Natalie Amari - Heart Shaped Crop

This romp-style shoot with Natalie was powered by an absolutely shit mini-led light that I bought from amazon. I didn't really have the time to test it, but I had faith in my post processing skills and made sure to use it in a way where extra noise/poor quality would actually be a celebrated feat...

Jordan West - Lemons

Jordan West in a big open space is just how we roll here. Yet she always manages to fill it well with her incredibly long legs, with a nod to the 35mm, which is absolutely her friend. She's killing me with these panties tho lol. The natural lighting in this space was so plentiful, in most cases I...

Alice Crowe - Bubblewave - POV BTS

Alice Crowe - Bubblewave

We have some new Alice Crowe! Bubble bath scenes are almost always an option at airbnbs because everything has to be so picture perfect. Sure, they're pretty overplayed in the photography space, but that's why we spice it up with....... RGB, haha. Actually, in every case where there's a nice bath...

Heather Monique - Bath Nook

There was no way we weren't shooting in this little tub corner. Heather and I practically ran over here for this set, racing the sun. She was already naked from the previous shoot and, if you saw the BTS for the Cathedral window shoot, then you so me running over to the tub to get the water going...

Charlé Jay - Shakur

After the parlour shoot, Charlé and I went inside to this new area in the living room that Misty (the homeowner) designed. If you'll recall, there was a couch here before, I shot Fionna and Paige on it. This setup is nice tho, playful and moody and.. reddish brown haha. I am not opposed to a hea...

Natalie Amari - Props

We're a month out from Valentine's Day so expect to see a lot of RED! I shot with Natalie in the subdued but unmistakably BDSM themed props room of a dominatrix dungeon/loft/peerspace (lmao). The space is packed with character(s)—pig masks, riding crops, and other accessories you’d expect to ...

Heather Monique - Greenhouse - POV BTS

Heather Monique - Greenhouse

We started about 25 minutes before sunset, the throes of golden hour. The space was filled with plants on stands, floors, and even hanging from the ceiling, all illuminated by natural light streaming through the skylights and filtered by a thicc layer of trees before hitting the wraparound window...

2024 Year End Wrap up

Time for the 2024 wrap up where we cover some stats, talent, locations, and everything else that happened this year! Once again doing this in podcast'ish format with some visuals sprinkled in. Also some glimpses at some unreleased content in here, too 👀

Fionna Day - Digitals

I had the pleasure of working with Fionna in the studio on a pretty unique project. She's exploring more traditional modeling and needed digitals – natural, unretouched photos showcasing her from different angles with basic lighting and no makeup that you snap and send out to agencies.

We...

Heather Monique - Cathedral

I picked up this Airbnb with Heather and I instantly knew that I wanted to feature her, in this room, with these giant cathedral-like windows, at sunset. Heather came out looking amazing in this glam-gold dress that was jussst a little see through. Her makeup with the red lips were giving Mena Su...

Charlé Jay - The Parlor

Today I got a reminder of a shoot I did with Charlé almost exactly two years ago at Misty's old retro-house and, as you can see, we've got Charlé back and in Misty's NEW retro-house! I was noting to my wife when I setup my shoot date with her that she's been only been visiting CA once a year, a...
