Fall has arrived in Central Texas.  The mornings are cooler, and there’s less humidity.  The time for sweaters and boots is fast approaching, and I am here for it.  Experiencing some semblance of fall weather is one of the things that I enjoy about living in here.  I’ve been able to wear sweaters and boots longer.  However, with COVID-19 still […]

Chanel in the Park

Last weekend, I created some of my favorite images of 2020!   Since my Concrete Valkyrie session was successful, and a number of models wanted to be part of it, I decided to do another session.  I wanted it to be different from the concrete session, and knew that the session would be held in a park.  I scouted […]

Saturday Morning Vintage

On August 25, I photographed the last model for my Spanish Harlem project.  My model was Marina, and she didn’t disappoint.  She came prepared with jewelry, and had a very clear understanding of the concept.  Marina was the second model that I photographed at The Arboretum.  I tried to utilize other locations at the mall because I didn’t want […]

Spanish Harlem – Marina

The weekend of August 24, I participated in a styled shoot organized by Carissa Rumps of The Wild Rumpus Collective called “The Dark Crystal”. The session was based on the series/movie by Jim Henson. This is the second stylized shoot I participated in that Carissa has arranged. I wasn’t familiar with the theme. I simply […]
