As always, she was a ham, overcome with the beauty of the bathroom of my friend's old house that she couldn't help but want a few towel photos before she got fully in the water.

Fresh from our shoot at the beach and the dunes (check the archives!), McKenzie was ready to get in the tub and wash off some of the grime.

It is difficult to choose my favorite images I've taken of McKenzie over the year or so we've worked together, but many in this 54-photo set are definitely in the running.

Three years ago I was in dire financial straits, still recovering from the economic crisis that hit me less than others, but only because I had less to lose. Though I have always lived simply, rarely ...

I'm usually not a fan of tattoos, but since she was paying me, I didn't mention it or complain in any way.

I hope you have been affected by Kalani's story as much as I have, and always realize that the women I work with are just as human and wonderful and flawed as anyone else you may know. This is what ma...

Now that she's at age 29, I have taken Kalani's photos for over a decade, and I'm honored to have shared so much of her life with her, for all the ups and downs.

Despite all her troubles, I admire Kalani for the simple fact that she doesn't over-analyze. She lives life from one moment to the next, not thinking of the consequences. After a lifetime spent not ta...

It's important to remember that photos can be an illusion. That everything may appear happy and bright, yet there is always a more complicated story out of the camera's view.

I've always tried to be there for her when she's hit rough points, and it pained me when she finally admitted all these things to me. Still, she was open about it and has openly shared these things on...

Having had two months to reflect on all this, she is now fully sober for the first time since she gave birth the first time, admitting that maybe this was the wake-up call she needed to start focusing...

Whenever you think you are going through a tough time or may be making bad decisions, compare yourself to Kalani. She has always been very open about the trials and tribulations of her mistakes in lif...

I've posted several sets of Kalani now here on Patreon, (dig through the archives if you've missed any), and I was just as surprised as she was to find out she was going to be having her second child.

And with that, we were through. After a long day, we knew there would only be one more shoot the next morning before she headed back to Los Angeles. Having to wait until the fire died down, I took a s...

Apart from the heels, this part of the shoot felt primal; more gritty and real, as if I were witnessing McKenzie at her most genuine.

But as always, eventually McKenzie stripped down further, getting as back to nature as she could.
