African Bride Magazine

What a thrill to walk into Barnes and Noble, head over to the bridal section, and purchase copies of a magazine which published an eight page spread of my images!  When I had an image published in OK!, it was great; I loved seeing it on every newsstand, knowing I had an image inside.  But you had to hunt for it-and once you found it, you had to squint to read my name.  But this has eight beautiful pages with eight beautiful women that I had the pleasure of photographing.  This was probably the most fun I've had on a shoot, so I'm thrilled to show you my favorites:

Chad Sapp for Bunker 4 Men

I shot with Chad about a year ago, so when I posted a new casting for Bunker 4 Men, I was thrilled when he replied.  And what's even better, is he responded to my Craigslist post, so he didn't even know he was submitting to me.  So I received an e-mail from a male model ready to work, and he included some images from his portfolio, including a couple I took.  I love knowing that the models I shoot with actually use the images we make together!

As I mentioned before, the folks at Bunker 4 Men were more than generous to me, so I've loved capturing some great images for them.

Enjoy!

David Penna for Bunker 4 Men Underwear

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to my new friend David Penna.  David responded to my casting on Model Mayhem when I received some great samples from Bunker underwear, and I'm sure you'll agree that he's a great model wearing some great briefs.

Thanks to the guys at Bunker for supplying the product, and to David for bringing his A game to the shoot!
(and while I'm sure you're all noticing there's a guy in briefs on your screen, take a second to check out that perfect bone structure in his face!)

Cleons Pop Art

This morning, I finally got to meet and shoot with Chad Leon of Cleons Clothing Co..  Chad was in from Chicago to shoot his new line, and Model Mayhem got us in touch.  And as it turns out, I shot the male model, Juan Gabriel, in a fashion show last summer.  Katie Ellis is the sexy female model, who came with Chad from Chicago for this shoot.  I can't thank these guys enough–and Chad will second me on this–for braving the cold to get these shots.  It was FREEZING by the water, with an insane amount of wind, but these two did what they needed to do to get some great images for the new line!

New York Fashion Week: Boy Meets Girl

Thanks to Model Mayhem, I had the pleasure of shooting this incredible show at Style360 at Elle.com.  Stacy M. Igel, the founder/creative director of Boy Meets Girl had an incredible show starring Jenn Proske (Vampires Suck), and featuring musical entertainment from The Neon Trees.  And Ramona, from Real Housewives New York stopped by backstage.  Check out Boy Meets Girl here!

The Jesus Wall Studio

I'm in Thousand Oaks, CA, with the National Tour of The Wedding Singer.  We had a "golden day" (day off) so I decided there'd be no better way to spend it than to have a big group photo shoot in Los Angeles.  I rented a car, rented a studio, and thanks to Model Mayhem, found an amazing make-up artist and a group of stunning models!
