About Me

I am a photographer based out of Dallas, TX looking for creative, fun, and exciting opportunities to create beautiful images and art.  My passion has always been in photography while I have been working as a designer in architecture for almost 20 years.  I have experience with architectural photography as well as model shoots across the US including Miami to NYC and LA as well as well as Puerto Rico, D.R., Turks and Caicos, Paris, Venice, Rome, Portugal, Hawaii, Jamaica, Joshua Tree, Tulum, Bali, Spain and most recently New Zealand.

***Travel Notice 2026***  - New Year...New Energy!!!  Got a good location to travel to?

                                              --- Dallas, Texas Based ---

                                            *  MEXICO
                                            *  Guadalajara - March 22-26, 2026
                                                                         

If you are looking for a professional, artistic, energetic, and fun shoot, then I am here for your needs. I enjoy combining the creativity of both the model and photographer so both can walk away from the shoot with something to be proud of and can enjoy.  I also have an ample supply of new wardrobe that can be used for any ideas.....plus it helps keep your luggage size down. wink

I shoot all ranges of styles, so the bottom line is that the model be comfortable and we shoot what you like.  If you're not comfortable, it'll definitely show!  Assistants or chaperones are acceptable if it helps with the shoot. Safety and comfort 1st!

Rates:  Competitively priced! ... just inquire with me.
Portfolio work  2hrs - $300 
Studio work - $125/hr
Studio Rentals are typically $150 an hour depending on the location. 
MUAH artists can be arranged - average $100/session

Will provide edits and electronic copies upon request. Editing the shots is typically included in the shoots for a reasonable number (don't worry....you'll get a lot of edits!).  You'll be receiving links to image folders where you can select images of your choice for final edits in addition to ones I may select. Special editing requests and rates can be discussed if needed depending on the circumstances and use desired.

Package deals can be discussed including additional USB drives, printed images, photo books, etc. Just shoot me your ideas and I can get a quote.

***NOTICE:  RATE SPECIAL - -  $250 - 2HR session! Location of choice. 
Various wardrobe and outfits always available for the models. Available for shoots!***

***HOSTING - Yes I do host if needed for traveling models.  I can offer many references for your needs and safety.  Private room and bath.  Please contact me if needed for further details.***

***PLEASE NOTE: Legal Disclaimer: If I decide to do a paid shoot with you and you are late to the set time without any reasonable excuse, you forfeit your rates and will be charged my rates for the wasted time. See studio rates listed above.  It sucks to have to do that, but the photographer's time is every bit as valuable as the model's.
Your exact time and exact rates must be sent in writing (ie text, email, messenger) prior to our shooting for them to be accepted.  No changes to increase the rate at your desire during the shoot is permitted unless discussed by both parties.***

***Message me if you want to shoot! smile ***
