Duffy is definitely growing on me more as time passes since our last shoot. She's just SO unique both visually, and as a real life character. This is yet another dress I found in goodwill - and I knew that Duffy had these boots from her instagram feed history, so I dropped her a DM asking if she still had those boo...

Ash Haze - from our shoot in the Pink House, which ultimately turned out to be kind of a lame AirBnB, but with a petite gorgeous naked blonde walking around, whos gonna complain?

It's summer! Who here golfs? I sure don't as evidenced by the poor swinging posture that I pretended I knew how to execute when I demonstrate it to Paige for this set. So, I had Paige on the cal to work with and I'm going through goodwill and I stumble across this piece that JUST came out the warehouse. It ...

For Genesis' final set, we covered her in bright blue latex paint and gave her the freedom to show off her flexibility. Unfortunately, her family has stepped in and made it clear that they don't want her to model for me because of the risque content that we shoot, hence the name change she requested. Keep in m...

Instax has its own unique vibe, even amongst its relative formats like the polaroid, standing out with it being centered around the 4x5 portrait. This format lends itself well for people photography because, well, people are typically taller than they are wide, which allows you to capture more of them in frame without ...

You're gonna see this desk and wall twice this week, just fyi haha. Paige, once again, rocking this beautiful summer dress.. that I am absolutely going to use again soon. I used a big octo-softbox for the white and a splash of color for that little extra kick. Shot on my Canon 85mm 1.8 with a pretty dense soft filt...

Y'all it's HEATHER'S BIRTHDAY TODAY! Be sure to hop over to her page and show her some love both on instagram and here @heathermoni This set is pretty basic in setup, but came out pretty stellar for a last second idea. Outside the window I have a my LED light on a TALLLL light stand, weighted down to keep...

Oh Lindsay, my first muse, still unmatched in her wild and playfully seductive modeling style. These shots are from 2014 and I'm fairly certain most of them are unreleased. I did a complete top to bottom reprocess of these, hand picking a set, using new software tech, shit that was unheard of in 2014. And, honestly...

Paige dropped by the studio recently, eager to shoot some new content with her cute pixie haircut. I let her pick the setup for this scene, as I had mine all lined up already, and she pulls out these tiny little PJs with.. bats on them lol. I pulled together a bubble gum setting and captured the strip tease that she bl...

*REMINDER* Heather is experimenting with AI voiced content. If you're interested in XXX custom story content featuring her, DM me! Bright and early with Heather! I can't remember exactly when we started shooting this, but I'm pretty sure it's like 6am as we only had so much time where the sun would be ...

I can't tell you how much I love working with Juno, even though I tell you every time I make a post featuring her, it's still not enough! I handcrafted this entire look - the boots I got from a boutique shop, the orange bodysuit from a thrift shop, the glasses from amazon, and I knew I was going to be shootin...

You guys are gonna love this set. Heather is glowing as she playfully hangs out the window to tease the camera, and everyone else, before inviting us inside for a better view. I adore how this set came out. Shot on my 85mm which doesn't get much love because of space constraints. I'm literally standing on a r...

An old Canon, a nifty fifty, an umbrella, and a flash that only fires at 100% power and no less. This is a shoot that I've completely reprocessed from the ground up using everything I've learned over the last, almost to the day, ten years. Sabrina Maree, an adult starlet at the time, met up with me in LA during...

This set came together so randomly that it was like fate had dictated it happen. Genesis and I were discussing this shoot while I was browsing goodwill, and she sends me this pinterest link that's a woman holding an old phone laying in a pile of cotton (or so I thought). I literally just HAPPENED to be looking at ...

Beautiful set with Heather in one of the guest rooms in Bolinas. There were a few wicker furniture pieces already in the room, so we went with something a little more beach-focused for attire. I wanted the hard light from the sun to come in for this one and I used a white blanket on the bed to help reflect some of it b...

What started as a reference photo turned out to be a pretty stellar angelic looking set! Duffy sent me a beautiful photo that only this morning I was able to track down the actual owner of (romakphoto on insta, if you're curious), and asked if we could shoot something similar. I happened to have a nice collection o...

This set was a top tier struggle from a technical perspective, but first let's talk about Genesis. She's rocking the implied look with nothing but a carefully placed sequined sheet. Definitely still loving the energy she's bringing to these looks, and she's getting visibly more and more comfortable as t...

This was the first scene we shot in Bolinas, perfectly capturing the vibe of the whole trip - Lots of light, an iced drink, and zero worries except for the dad that did like 20 laps pushing his spawn around trying for a glimpse! I found this romper at goodwill, of course, and Heather almost n e v e r wears shit that I ...

This is the last set I shot with Paige at Misty's retro-groovy-house-a-rama, and it's by far my best. She just knows how to be cute, and Misty loves dressing her up because she rocks every look so well. This isn't the end of the road for her tho, I've got a few more sets I JUST shot with her on a recent...

Introducing Duffy! She came highly recommended from my photographer friend Jason. She's a creole mix with gorgeous skin, naturally curly hair and an amazing body. Her and I brainstormed a bunch of ideas together on instagram and executed all of them perfectly. This set, which, if you know Jasonvsthecommunityguideli...

*waves hand* you don't remember the old name, you only remember the new: GENESIS Not the first time I've had to ninja swap a name for a model, it keeps them happy and keeps the working relationship healthy and that's what's important. As this set will show you, Genesis truly enjoys creating. She puts ...

Heather and I recently took a trip to a beach house out in Northern California and had a BLAST shooting a bunch of content! We did a handful of shoots one night, then followed it up with some early morning shoots the next morning. All in all, expect to see Heather content practically weekly for a lonngggg time. This ...

I've shot this bar before, but it was during the day and had a completely different vibe. Fionna brings the after-hours sexiness tho. For the most part I have technical notes for this shoot, as Fionna played her role perfectly. First off, I'm not a fan of the color I chose for the splash that's in the upper...

Been toying around with this idea for a while, but knew that it was something that would only work on someone who 1. can execute artistic nude style poses and 2. has the curves to accentuate the shadow work that would be in play. That pretty much put Heather at the top of the list, by a friggin' longshot. Single ba...

Dudes, I let this set with Charle Jay cook for a LONG time, and I apologize for that. You see, I had a vision of what I wanted when I first shot this, and I was already familiar with generative tools and *thought* the tech and my skill were where I needed them. Unfortunately, we weren't quite there yet. Fast forwar...

I've never met someone so eager to get naked as much as Paige, I swear this girl probably lives in some tucked away nudist camp with how quickly she disrobes. I'm told the next time I shoot here there will be a different overhead light fixture in place because the current one "looks retro but isn't a u ...

This set is just silly, honestly. I mean, I put together a collection of relatively period specific pieces of retro-style wardrobe and Amaya instantly makes it modern. She just has such a uniquely current look that I would struggle to make believable at, say, Misty's groovy house that I'm always shooting at. So...

This set was a technical nightmare, if I'm being honest. Not to take away from the work that Paige did, as she actually saved the shoot from going in the trash haha. What it boils down to is fuck the god dang sun, man, because damn does it just INTRUDE on your scene when you're trying to balance interior lighti...

Speaking of Misty's place - We busted out the medium-sized mirrorball for this hallway shoot with Fionna Day, but I do wish I would've brought my insano-mega-mirrorball for this tbh. That being said, this top that Misty sourced is just killer and perfect for this vibe. On the technical side, I had Fionna's...

Convincing Heather to come to the studio is probably one of the most successful campaigns I've ever launched. I've said it before, but this is our first time doing studio work together, and it's just so raw and focused on HER instead of it being about some weirdo airbnb location. I just love everything we s...
