That's what it feels like to shoot with Mia.

Shannon and I worked together I think 3 more times always fun and always dynamic. She was this tough tomboy who climbed trees and had the energy to burn. I loved her and her amazing natural red hair too. We have kept in touch ever since. She followed her dreams and headed off to California and get into acting. She was a double for Natalie Moore in a movie, had a bit part, maybe a line or two in Oz Ther Great and powerful. She has also done cute comedy videos and also been in music videos. Then this happened, her movie "Rag Doll" Wow one of the most powerful movies I have seen in a while. She plays the starring roll in it and all I can say is the ending is more surprising then you could guess. Go watch it now on Amazon Prime "Rag Doll" you can thank me later.
Here are the images from my first model, Shannon Murray. This is where it all started for me. I hope you enjoy.

Melissa is by far the best model I have worked with since I picked up a camera. She has helped me progress as an artist and I cherish our friendship still. She has challenged my skills and pushed me to make the most amazing images I have ever created. Such beauty and such a beautiful soul. My life is better because I know Melissa Troutt. God Bless Mel and hope I see you again soon.
We shot this June 16th 2007 the first time we met. I fell in love with her not because I got to shoot her naked, but afterwards we went to a diner and talked for two hours and I got to know her pretty well. We would go on to work together many times, just the two of us sometimes and also when I ran workshops in Brooklyn NY. Enjoy our first meeting 13 years ago today.

]]>Cat Hedlund was a traveling model at one time and came to visit me in Florida at my new home. She has since changed her hairstyle which was beautiful as well but the natural redhead is a wonderful photographer today as well as a class A+ model. Enjoy.
If you ever want to get great shots with a professional model work with Aubrey. We have worked together many times and you can see on this blog many different shoots we have done. There will be more too. Enjoy these lovely images in natural light with the cute cat too.
]]>This girl originally from Panama City Florida was a blast to shoot with. We ended the day swimming in my pool drinking Yuengling and soaking up the sun. Today she lives in Vegas I think and is still a babe. Miss you Rahyndee.

]]>If you ever saw an image by Lindsay you know she takes that statement literally. You can not help but be transfixed at her work. Well in my photography I looked to do just that. These images I shot with another mentor of mine Judith Farber. She runs a photo workshop in NYC called Sundays in NY. Look her up and work with her on a Sunday afternoon and watch your composition improve greatly. Tell her I said hello if you do.
These are from a Sunday afternoon in 2010. I remember it was love 100 degrees. We shot these in Central Park near Bethesda Fountain. Just people watching and checking out the architecture. Enjoy.
]]>These pictures we shot in Ringwood NJ in the Ramapo Mountains. Enjoy the supple beauty of this lovely girl. In the grass.

When she stepped off the train in Hackensack NJ my heart skipped a beat. She looked like any hippie girl I was in love with back in the '70s. Her personality was beautiful as well. She was just starting out and I believe I was the first NYC photographer to work with her. Over time we became friends and worked together often. It was a wonderful relationship. Enjoy these images from the last time we worked together in my old apartment in NJ. These are from September 2011 I moved to Florida in 2012. Miss you girl, if you ever get to travel south I would gladly host you again and even get some Mexican food together again.

The first image here was from the day we met in 2007. I loved working with Katy who has gone on to live a wonderful life in England with her Husband.
Those eyes and the lashes, I fell in love with Katy the first time I clicked the shutter.
