Every year I try to squeeze the most out of summer….. or should I say weather above freezing. This shoot was no exception. Thankful, it wasn’t snowing, I asked JC to shoot with me outdoors shirtless, even though it was less than 8°C (44°F).


"I didn't know what to expect or what the looks were going to be. I found some shorts that worked for the shoot a day before, although once out in the cold I almost wished I hadn't! I get goosebumps, so between every 5-7 shots, John threw me his jacket so I could warm up for a minute before continuing." Model JC

Andy is a wonderful talent. I had the opportunity to work with him when I went to Portland, my hometown, to visit my friends and family. As you can see from the pics… it was well worth our time. Oddly enough, Andy and I recognized each other from the gym where we both worked out over 6 years ago.






- He could only hold this challenging pose for a few mintues and we had to laugh between takes.

It took quite a while to set up a shoot with Adam Schawel, but it was well worth it. The 22-year-old is a real trooper for putting up with 40-degree weather and a stiff wind during out shoot.

I was amazed at how much changing Adam's hair transformed his look. I hope to work with him again with this hair style.
