     General Information 
    Everyone is beautiful. It's my job to show it.
    I hope you'll give me that opportunity.

    While I'm concentrating on paying jobs at this point, I'm always updating my portfolio and working on "fun" projects (see below) and so will accept some TFP/CD work where everybody wins. If you want a shot in your portfolio, chances are others will want something similar and so I want it in mine. I'm always willing to work with you to get the type of shots you want and need. Right now I'm especially looking to increase the diversity of my portfolio, so the more "out there" your ideas or desires, the more likely you are to intrigue me!!

    My philosophy is that TFP/CD shoots are a partnership between the models and the photographers, and it is in both of our interests to invest in this partnership, as we will both reap the benefits. At all TFP/CD shoots I will work to ensure that the model gets the shots he or she wants, as well as any that I may want. I welcome creative input from models. I will never knowingly ask a model to pose in any way that makes him or her uncomfortable and am always happy to respect model's limits. I do not generally offer a makeup artist or hair stylist for TFP/CD shoots, but the model may bring someone along to help with that. If a MUA is desired, this can usually be arranged and we will split the cost. Companions/chaperones are always welcome, as well, and may stay with you throughout the shoot.

    At the end of every TFP/CD shoot the model(s) will leave with a CD containing high-res images of all the shots taken. Prints can be ordered from these "proofs", and all prints will be carefully cropped and retouched to guarantee a quality image. Some prints will be free, and more can be ordered at a very nominal charge. Along with the prints you will receive a second CD that contains all the cropped and retouched images. It is in my best interest to make sure the models have a comfortable and rewarding experience -- again, the more we both invest, the more we both benefit.

    I work exclusively in digital photography and can shoot at my Millersburg (mid-Missouri) studio, or in the surrounding area including both Columbia and Fulton. There is a wide variety of settings available in this area. I occasionally make trips to other locations, especially if my expenses are covered -- this will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. We are located midway between St. Louis and Kansas City (about two hours +/- to either one) and just off of I-70 US 63 and US 54.

    A Note on Model Management

    I do not manage models. I'm a photographer, not an agent or manager. I could probably help you find some jobs, but nothing you couldn't do yourself, and frankly I don't have the time. I prefer to do what I know, and leave the rest to others better qualified. Unfortunately not everyone shares that philosophy, and many (not all!) "managers" are stroking their own egos and not helping their models. For this reason, I usually don't contact models with "managers" unless their profile specifically states that the model receives the referral e-mails. You are welcome to contact me, however.

    I'm also happy to advise models based on what I do know (and to be frank about what I don't know), so don't be afraid to ask. Just don't ask me to manage you, as what I'll tell you will take a couple of e-mails probably, and then you can do at least as well on your own. This is not a slam on all OMP managers -- some of them actually do help their models. But anyone considering being managed is well advised to make sure the benefits outweigh the detriments.


    Some of the projects I'm interested in:

    Everyone:
    I'm always interested in shooting family (or faimly-like) groups for portfolio and marketing shots since family portraits are a big part of my business.
