As a dancer, she knew her body well, and though she was a bit self-conscious about her stomach area, she had no trouble executing my vague directions of "Uh...I dunno....just move around, and stuff."

Another benefit (?) of these moods is my desire to work with new models, often jokingly referred to as "new meat" or "fresh blood."
I sent out a model search on Instagram and as feared, received alm...

I have been going through some moody, dark periods which are cyclical in my life. These are things I don't really ever talk about, but I can usually see the shift in my work. For the keen observer, th...

Every once in a while I get bored with just straight, well-lit photography, so I pull out all the lighting equipment and start playing around. Here is my most recent set of experiments, with many more...

One of my first models is still shiny and bright ten years later. This is the largest set I've ever shared on Patreon, featuring over $75 images!!

Cherish is one of the most naturally beautiful, sexy, and alluring women I have ever known. She's also dorky, full of love for animals and the oppressed, loves comic books and sci-fi, and is a bit hig...

Even after over an hour of posing for the camera, Cherish still looked as fresh and lovely as when we had started. She had already put her bra back on and had to take it off for these last shots, so y...

it's easy to see why I stopped her and asked to take these last few images. She really did appear quite flawless.

Once she put on her pants, still clinging to her sweater for warmth, I saw once again how great she looked, so I asked her to drop her bag for a few last shots. now that she was much warmer, she was g...

I always love documenting the behind-the-scenes experience. The mass of clothes piled up on the sand, my camera bag overflowing with underwear and bras. the reality of these shoots is always far less ...

Realizing we had taken hundreds and hundreds of photos, I told cherish we needed to stop, even though both of us didn't really want to because we were having a lot of fun. It had been great to joke, t...

I love this shot. Though it might look a bit staged, I love the colors, tones, and ease of it all.

The dunes seem to be made for Cherish. I hadn't shot there in a long while for fear I had been overdoing it, but I'm glad I gave it another chance with her. She is every cliche California fantasy, and...

Since we had been focusing so much on her face and chest, cherish asked if i could take a few shots of her butt, which she says she is constantly working on and is finally happy with its growing size....

And in case people forget, no matter how alluring someone is, they usually are just a fun, dorky person underneath. Cherish definitely lives up to this rule.

As has often been the case with Cherish over the decade I've shot with her, there are just too many good photos to edit through. Instead of rejecting images I love for the sake of brevity, I love that...

I love this image for a variety of reasons. Her gaze, the colors, the hint of nipple barely peeking out, and of course her hourglass shape and angle here, and more less tangible qualities.

Finally not miserable from the cold, Cherish looked relieved and confident.

Cherish was still a bit cold, so I advised her to grab her sweater and we headed down into a crevice between two large dunes. This allowed the wind, which was crisp and chill, to avoid us for the firs...

Behind her yu can still see how the dunes were wet from the rains the contral coast had been receiving. Though of course, how many of you are actually looking behind her?

As you can see, Cherish is always a lot of fun to be around.

I feelt bad about this shot, because she can see in her eyes that she's still cold and not terribly happy. The gritting teeth convey that, as well. Thankfully this was only a brief moment between long...

It doesn't get much better than this as a photographer. People would assume this is a fantasy, that this type of view or scene couldn't really exist in the real world. but believe me, it can.

One of the many things I love about this special lady is that no matter how cold or miserable she is, Cherish can always smile and have a good time. Even when I've seen her down and mopey, she can sti...

Still fighting the chill in the air, I had Cherish stand up and move around, hoping the circulation would return to her fat-less extremities.

Even though Cherish was starting to get into the groove, she still had moments of being cold from time to time.
