Porcelain at the Madonna Inn, Pt. 6

I love this shot. I don't often shoot a lot of horizontal model images, but her pose and the lighting made it a necessity. I'd love to make a print of it six feet long.

Porcelain at the Madonna Inn, Pt. 5

Porcelain has a grace and ease about her, which easily highlights her elegance and natural beauty.

Of course, she looked like an angel in the morning light.

Once she was ready, we started on the bed, which overlooked a gorgeous view of the whole San Luis Obispo area.

Taken for a Ride, Pt. 11

Once Stevie got dressed and we walked the horse back to the barn, Stevie was able to give the horse a few treats, which they both enjoyed.

It always pays to have friends who both respect what yo...

Taken for a Ride, Pt. 10

Unfortunately, the shoot couldn't last that long, due to the temperament of the horse, our schedule, and Tony's wife, who would be returning soon.

Taken for a Ride, Pt. 9

Stevie did great, not appearing nervous or jittery at all. She had no qualms about being naked bareback on the horse or in front of Tony, and at least for her part the shoot went very smooth.

Taken for a Ride, Pt. 8

These shots were Tony's personal favorites. He loved the way her hair matched the mane of the horse, and he repeatedly asked me to take more of such shots just for him.

Taken for a Ride, Pt. 7

I may be biased, but the angles from behind turned out best. The curve of Stevie's back side in the sun mimicked the curve of the horses rump fairly well, and I couldn't help but get several shots fro...

Taken for a Ride, Pt. 6

But the largest complication was my normal movement, which would spook the horse or make it nervous from time to time. I needed to walk around it, trying to get the best angles and perspectives possib...

Taken for a Ride, Pt. 5

For starters, even though the horse was well trained and Tony was good at controlling it, the beast still had a mind of its own. Then I had to find angles that looked good for both the animal and Stev...

Before she rushed out, I had her change into a more casual outfit and stand in the window one last time. Though this was the most average set of clothes she had worn all morning, I thought it was the ...

Her ghostly stare in this image haunts me, but I can't say exactly what emotion it conveys exactly. Part dread and fear, partly sensual and vulnerable, yet also conveying confidence. the best models c...

From there we moved into the bathroom, where she changed into the tightest, slinkiest black outfit I'd seen in a while. She made it all look so easy.
