I picked up photography almost by accident a few years back and have been addicted to it ever since. You can see why a person could be addicted to model photography when your first ever 'truck' shoot turns into a model shoot (see photo to left - ©1998). And now, 10 years later, I finally have my very own calendar published, thanks to RT Web Designs, that showcases my model photography (see 2nd photo to left).

I found my niche in shooting swimsuit and glamour models in 2001 after relocating from south Florida to the World's Most Famous Beach, Daytona Beach, Florida. I decided at that point to go the digital photography route and so I purchased my first digital SLR camera, a Canon D30. I now shoot Canon products exclusively with my favorite being a Canon 10d with my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens always attached.

I am blessed to work with some of the best talent around and I live in an area of the world where I can shoot year round. I have even gotten some of my work published in swimwear catalogs, calendars and magazines like American Curves, Got-Dam! Mag & Muscle Mag to name a few recent ones. Also, I shoot for a few swimsuit clients that use my images to promote their suits, such as Dangerous Curves Swimwear. I have been extremely fortunate to say the least!

I have found photography to be a very interesting and passionate hobby, which one day might become a full time retirement gig! I have met some very intriguing, not to mention, beautiful people in this industry. I have also made many good friends along the way and shot in many locations I may never have visited otherwise. I have been blessed to shoot with such superstars like Hawaiian Tropic & Playboy model, Hillary Fisher, Playboy Playmates, Kara Monaco & Raquel Gibson, hip-hop video vixens, Melyssa Ford & Nicole Ricca and FHM cover & calendar model, Vida Guerra and super star fitness mom, Jennifer Nicole Lee (JNL)!

I enjoy model photography because I get to work with a lot of fun people and I become creative by creating something beautiful during each photo shoot. It's most fun to see a model's eyes light up when she sees herself on the camera or computer looking at the results that we shot together as a team. That is what makes model photography so fulfilling -- making people happy.
