A few shots from my time with model Sarah Bella sporting Pepsi attire
Sarah brought the A game and really crushed the retro Pepsi vibe.
Sarah’s makeup was done by the talented Sommer Anzaldo.

Ariana Emnace in SoCal
Ariana Emnace is a dancer and model. We’ve been shooting for nearly a decade, and it’s always a blast.
For these photos, Ariana and I created at Santa Monica Beach, a photo studio that had built a set resembling the inside of a private jet, a white cyc-wall, and also an indoor photoshoot pool.
Loved the golden light we got here and how it backlit her hair.
Love the ethereal nature of these ones with her in the dress in the water.
Ariana is captivating to photograph. She always brings a unique and intriguing energy to the photos.
You can follow Ariana on Instagram here, and keep an eye on this website for more photos from our shoots.

Sydney Tyra in Los Angeles
Model and dancer Sydney Tyra & I have shot a few times at different studios in the LA area.
For these photos we utilized a warehouse, a brightly colored pop art-esq room, and also the indoor pool that a studio had available to rent.
Shooting in this pop art room was fun. Ya’ll know I love color, and this room had a lot of it.
We finished up with this pool photo studio room featured below. (Which is a pool that has a glass cutout that the photographer can shoot through.) I’ve posted a behind the scenes video of this location on my social media for those curious.
Shooting with Sydney Tyra is always a blast. She has a charisma that engulfs the camera and creates a vibrancy within the photos. And while most models/people want to create work that’s already been done before, Sydney isn’t afraid to take risks and create new aesthetics.

Kiya Tiana in the studio
The photo studio Kiya and I shot in had 7 different unique rooms available for rent, and for this session I booked us 4 of those 7.
A room with pink walls, a room with orange walls, a room with yellow walls, and a room with white walls.
Kiya’s IG profile description reads “sweet lil baby with the mean mug”
For the pink room, there was a large window with opaque glass that light from the sun went through before entering, which created a diffused soft light.
The orange walled room lacked windows, so I used the bounce flash to create the light.
As you can tell, Kiya has an eye for aesthetic and brought a great variety of outfits and swimsuits that matched the colors and different vibes of the studios.
This white walled room below was our last stop, and I planned our timing to hit right as the sun was setting. So we had these gorgeous golden beams shining in that she played off of.
Kiya lights up the camera. A natural model who with an innate understanding of how to express without saying words, and how to showcase different aesthetics through fashion and poses.
