Luma // Los Angeles Studio Portrait Shoot
Luma + natural light in a gorgeous studio = chef’s kiss. Nothing beats a gorgeous subject in a great location. Check out Luma’s just-for-fun DTLA studio photoshoot here:
I know I say this a lot but, I LOVE MY JOB! Luma hired me for a just-for-fun photoshoot and fun is exactly what we had. I believe in creating an environment that diminishes the nerves a big camera in your face can bring. I play music you can vibe too and show you images as we go. My biggest goal is to make you feel confident, sexy and like you don’t want the shoot to end - next to taking bomb ass pics of course. Check out the gorgeousness that is Luma here:
Sweater Puppy // Los Angeles, Ca // Brand Photoshoot
3 bad bitches and they kiss in they kissin’ in the Wraith. Just kidding. 3 Goddesses lookin’ like ART. Check it out Sweater Puppy’s shoot here.
This shoot right here is hands down one of my favorite shoots to date. I can’t even explain why. It’s just the feelings these images give me. Every part of this shoot - the models, makeup, styling, creative direction, and of course the amazing pieces for Sweater Puppy - worked so well together. This was an all female set and let me say, when women link and work together we are unstoppable.
The incredible team:
Crochet Pieces - Sweater Puppy
Styling - Andrea McInnes
Makeup - Kali Mann
Models: Keara

Elii - Black Boy Joy // Los Angeles, Ca // Styled Shoot
Flowers, suit, chains, VOGUE. One of my favorite and most special shoots to date.
This shoot marks a pivotal milestone for myself and my photography career, because it was my first shoot where MY images were published on Vogue Italia! I legit cried when I found out. After submitting multiple times with other shoots and not getting published, I went into this shoot with Elii ready to make some MAGIC. This was the first shoot, in what felt like forever, where I stepped out of my comfort zone and really saw my vision come to life! When I look at these images I can see the progress of my work and the continuing evolution of who I am as an artist.
Elii and I met via IG almost a year before this shoot took place. When we originally “met,” Elii was living still in High School and lived in Cleveland, Ohio. After he finally made his way to Los Angeles, Ca, we wasted no time planning this shoot. Within a week-and-a-half of him touching down, we got together and took these pics. Scroll down to see my faves!

Elle // Downtown Los Angeles Birthday Photoshoot
Elle celebrated her golden birthday - 25 on the 25th - with a portrait/fashion photoshoot, and she asked lil ole me to capture it.
Elle celebrated her golden birthday - 25 on the 25th - with a portrait/fashion photoshoot, and she asked lil ole me to capture it. I love love love that Elle decided to treat herself to this. I truly believe that there is nothing more empowering than having your own photoshoot at least once in your life. When you’re older you won’t look back on these photos and regret taking them. Look how badass, strong and beautiful she looks. I promise, this could be you too.
Anyway, Elle and I met up in Downtown Los Angeles and roamed around with no serious sense of direction. She styled it herself and Olya Tizer beat that face. If you’re interested in your own Birthday Photoshoot email me through my contact form and let’s get planning!
