My Favorite Models

Sami was one of the first models I ever had the pleasure of working with. She is not only a dear friend she is an amazing model and great Lady.

This Lady has become one of my favorites to work with over the past 2 years and always looking forward to our next shoot.

 Shelby came down from Tennessee a few times for us to shoot together. She is a great model and a joy to work with.

I never got the chance to meet Marilyn let alone photograph her, but her images inspired me to become a photographer. The Blond Bombshell that graced the silver screen was more than a legend. She was an iconic creature that has inspired the dreams of men for over half a century. With the hundreds of thousands of images of her she will probably continue to grace those dreams for centuries to come.

"Marilyn was history's most phenomenal love goddess."
