REUNION WITH SIERRA

What's up everyone! Let me tell you about my latest venture.

So this past Monday, I drove out 2.5 hours away to Bakersfield to finally work with this fantastic girl, Sierra, once again. We have only worked/met with each other once before, and that was waaaay over a year ago, in LA, so it was pretty exciting to meet up with her once again. I have been dying to work with her for the longest time. I believe her 1st shoot with me is one if my most successful ones, due to how emotionally powerful the photos are, and how well they portray the real her. So after a couple plans to shoot again fell through, I made it a real goal to make ir happen this time, and so I did! Well...the drive was not all that exciting though haha, but it was cool. Driving through the mountains as the ominous fog rolled in was pretty exhilarating but at the same time dangerous as the visibility was very limited lol.

Anyways, I finally arrived in good time, and Sierra welcomed me in! Nice place she's got! Okay, so let's get right to it. The point of the shoot was to create a promo picture for my Raw & Instant T-Shirt giveaway (that just happened the other day, if you got one, CONGRATS!). So I had the idea of Sierra in a box full of the shirts, and we just went from there. It was fun getting these shots down, and getting to know Sierra a little better. We BONDED as we had some one-on-one time in the box while trying to get a GoPro selfie shot haha LOL!

After that, we ended up heading out to BJ's and met up with her friends Sarah and Spencer(?) [Sorry Sierra...I'm terrible with names...]. We had some beers and pizza and pizookie, talked about Flubber and my Acid Reflux, and just hung out for a bit. Pretty cool peeps!

It got late, and I still had a pretty far drive ahead of me, so we called it a night! It was a great night Sierra. Fun shoot, and always a blast to hang out and see you again! Til next time!

*Sierra's set will be uploaded soon! STAY TUNED!*

I'M IN LOVE WITH DA COCO (& HER FRIEND RACHEL)

Sup everyone! I finally have time to write about my latest shoot that I did a couple days ago with Justine and her friend Rachel. This shoot was like a month in the making. After shooting with Justine's good friend Marilyn, Marilyn herself suggested that I should aim to shoot with her next. Time passed and eventually Justine herself inquired to shoot with me. Of course I agreed, and she even got her friend Rachel involved too! This was all taking place around mid-December, and due to that, we had some very tough scheduling issues, so we both agreed to aim for 2015 to link up. Come January 2nd, we did our shoot, LOL! Wasted no time!

Anyways, I got to her pad in Newport Beach and was welcomed with open arms, Sons of Anarchy, and the smell of leftover fried rice. Rachel got there not long after I did, and after fixing a problem with my flash, we were off to shooting! We shot in Justine's room to keep it simple (just like most my shoots actually), and we just all vibed with each other. I've never felt more comfortable with models as fast as I did with these two. Vaping, twerking, dancing, laughing (especially cuz of how ridiculous I looked with my GoPro mounted on my head), it was all fun while being one of my most productive shoots. Unfortunately, Rachel had to leave early, so for the rest of the night, it was one on one with Justine. I was blowing through packs of my film like they were nothing! Can't wait for you guys to see all the photos, which should be ready and uploaded later tonight in the PORTFOLIO section. ***Also be on the lookout for the full-length behind-the-scenes video of this shoot comprised of footage taken with my GoPro mentioned earlier. See how it is on these Raw & Instant shoots from my perspective!***

Thanks again guys for a very fun and satisfying shoot!
