Kacie doing her make-up. Also, please feel free to ask me any question you like on my new Formspring account. Thanks!
Today Kacie and I spent three hours shooting in a friend’s house that hasn’t been remodeled since the sixties. I promised we’d finish quickly so he reluctantly left and told us he’d be back soon. We shot seven outfits in four rooms
After a weird afternoon of being treated rudely at Costume Capers, I took Kacie on a whirlwind tour of the central coast beaches in hopes of igniting a fire of inspiration in her for future shoots. Winding through the Eucalyptus trees of Hwy 1, we finally
It was a calm, lazy day, the kind that I have not experienced in a while. Laura came over, then she, Kacie and I went to the park to bask in the sun and watch young Mexican boys fly kites. A nice interlude to a long, yet productive week.
For as tough and outspoken with profanities as Kacie can be, her vulnerability is something she just can’t seem to hide. Her confiding in me over the last week has helped me to capture her on camera more fully, as has happened many times in the
Getting four hours sleep only exacerbated my screwed up schedule because of the time change today. I dragged ass at work until it was time to come home, grab Kacie, and head out to Pismo Beach for an hour of picture taking. Thankfully the shoot was almost

Jenna has wanted to model for a Twiggy-inspired shoot for a very long time. As has often happened, a model approaches me with an idea that I’m not crazy about, but in the desire to please her I become obsessed with getting it right. Kacie did a

Kacie’s last day in California has been another long and productive one. Stabbing cardboard, smoke machines, pilot goggles and flying studio lights: it’s all good. Now she’s off buying me tacos while I work on the thousand images we

In honor of Kacie’s arrival from Philly three weeks ago, I arranged to have a bunch of friends meet up at a local bar for a fun night out. Included in the group were my two friends and models Sarah and Katie, both former platinum blonds who are

I’ve been looking through my old bedroom photos of friends and models lately, surprised at just how many there are and depressed at how unimaginative I’ve been. Either way, I still enjoy them and will probably shoot a few more as long as I
