Justin & Luke {August 5, 2011}

Justin contacted me because he wanted some couple pictures with his boyfriend, Luke, before he left for NYC and since I have taken pictures of Justin before, so I was delighted he asked me again! Justin and Luke are both each one of the sweetest, kindest, and pure hearted people I have ever met. We started in downtown Tulsa at a gorgeous theater Justin use to perform at. From there we roamed around downtown for a bit and ended the shoot at Turkey Mountain (which I was unaware it even existed till this shoot). Though I got a little cut up by the trail and we had to sweat through the 100 degree temperature, the shoot was one of my many favorites! Thanks Justin and Luke for being so patient with me. I hope you guys love the pictures!

Raeven Aguilar {August 3, 2011}

This is the second time I've gotten to work with the beautiful Raeven! She needed some headshots before she moves to NYC and I was delighted that she asked me to take them. Ryan and Mclane joined us on the shoot. The day of the shoot was one of the first days in quite some time that it was mostly overcastted and (somewhat) cool; it actually started to rain at the end of the shoot. We visited some spots that I've previously used, but Raeven is so unique and easy to capture that I wasn't too worried about the same poses. Raeven I wish you the best of luck in NYC, I can't picture you living anywhere else. Don't forget about us Oklahoman's. Keep in touch!

Taylor Cavanah {August 3, 2011}

I've wanted to do an underwater shoot ever since I started getting into photography. Though I didn't use my 5d Mk II rather a point-and-shoot sport camera -- I had a lot of fun on this shoot. Lindsey came along to assist, but mostly helped me figure out the camera. This shoot was quite tricky as I couldn't see the LCD screen underwater, so I ended up guessing the frame the whole time. The sun also caused us trouble because we couldn't review the pictures I did take. With all the hassles thrown at us during this shoot I am pleased with the result! Thanks again to Heidi for letting me borrow her camera and thanks to Taylor for being extremely patient with me.

Amanda Harper {July 19, 2011}

Amanda was the third winner of my contest. My assistant, Ryan, and I thought Amanda would be the perfect model to have a shoot with in Downtown Tulsa...at night. She's got this kind of edginess to her and of course she is stunning. I was extremely excited for this shoot because I've never done at night shoot. Amanda was very sweet and took direction really well, which I was very grateful for because the shoot took quite some time. She was also VERY patient with us when we took forever to get the lighting right, for me to set up my tripod, and for us to just get the perfect shot. Amanda thank you for your cooperation with this shoot, I would absolutely love to work with you again.
