I'm always delighted when someone makes art from my photos. I'm even more delighted when I get to model in one of those images. Fantastic artwork by Ali @digitaldesiress. Thanks to my collaborator @ahna.g_art and our photographer, the talented @jonnycreative

When beauty holds something back. The sense that there’s more to discover beyond the superficial. There are layers and the real story or emotion is layered in a way that’s not immediately obvious.

When I hosted a "black tape" shoot, I didn't expect to help design the outfits or capture images, but I did both with the help of @peteys_portraits_. Thanks to @marietmodel_ for being patient with me as I figured it all out. Big thanks as well to @@xandradzw and @_mrs.amy.de_.

Happy belated B-Day Marianna! 🥳🎉🎈🧁 She was so excited about her 21st birthday in December that she set this shoot up last August. I didn't know what we were going to shoot. We had some streamers, balloons, and some assorted party paraphernalia. But it all worked out. I was impressed at what Marianna

It's a great experience for a photographer to put themselves in their models' shoes and get in front of the camera. Rosie embraced the experience and rocked a day of shooting at a birthday party for @michsmitsje. Happy belated birthday Michelle! Styling by @jonnycreative.

In a world overflowing with images that distort our perception of humanity, life-affirming images of the human form are banned rather than honored as something sacred. So we created a museum quality book that celebrates human beauty and nature as one timeless work of art. tinyurl.com/yrv9brbf

@andreaxburns looks like a painting. This image has a Baroque chiaroscuro portraiture vibe (with hints of Caravaggio). Her body forms a classic painter’s triangle with the gaze, hands, and drape pulling you into the gesture. Cameron, if you're reading this post, this light falloff is an example of g

It is always a pleasure to work with Amy She is the consummate professional. She shows up on time ready to go and always delivers an exceptional performance. One of the hardest working Denver area models I know.

A fantastic somewhat impromptu shoot. We were scheduled to shoot with @jonnycreative, but he ended up going to ER this morning. Feel free to send him some love. So we headed to @rawphotographic studios and just played. Someone suggested this set up on the cyc wall and I love the editorial look. This

Behind the scenes from my Creative Exploration Meetup for photographers. We had no real agenda. We just played and tried to put a twist on the ordinary. When Jerry suggested we use gels (those colored pieces of plastic you put over lights to change their color), I said, "Sure! How can we use gels in

I wish I trusted my skills as a photographer as much as @laylaherreramx trusted that jacket would keep her covered. Not one nip slip the whole shoot.

My last post from my shoot at @jonnycreative for now. More shots from Atelier Alchimia to come later in the month. These two are a dynamic duo: @tionnabadakai and @csdresstoimpress. Styling by Jonny. As always, a big thanks to @jphsmits and the lovely @michsmitsje for inviting me to the party.
