At this time, no, I do not have a studio. Most of my photos that appear to be shot in a studio was shot in nothing more than a small room with white walls. It's a simple as moving furniture around. If you would like to shoot in a studio, then arrangements can be made for an additional fee.

No previous experience modeling is required. If you browse through my portfolio, 90% of all my models have had little to no experience prior to shooting with me. If you do have experience, then that's great! Just try not to be camera shy and be yourself :)

I offer different packages based on what is needed. Please check my Services & Prices menu link to see the different packages.

Depending on what type of photograph you want, we can choose an environment that can depict the concept. For example, if you want something "urban", then we can shoot somewhere like Downtown Miami. If you want beach photos, then Miami or Ft. Lauderdale beach will do. If you want family portraits, then perhaps a park may do. Location is discussed in detail while figuring out exactly what you are looking for, and I do offer several suggestions based on you feedback.

No, most models do their own makeup and hair for my shoots. I can however provide make up artists, hair stylists and wardrobe stylists for an additional fee.

Or, I can try to do your hair and makeup myself, but I would highly not recommend it!

I keep your money and run away!....   Kidding :) We re-schedule, though it may not be re-scheduled sometime soon, as I may have other scheduled clients pending. Ever thought about shooting in the rain? Or perhaps while it's thundering? yeah...think about it..might be cool lol

So you want me to digitally manipulate you eh?  Yes yes, I do all that stuff and it is  included by default in the modeling packages.

Edits include:

Airbrushing Skin

Removing blemishes, or tattoos

Color, Saturation, Contrast

Acne

Minor body shaping (chest, waist, etc)

Artistic Renditions

On my online gallery, I have a section called "Private Galleries" that is used by clients and models. Here I will secure your gallery with the password you have requested. Once in, you can open your photos in large formats and download them to your computer. Alternately, I can mail you a CD/DVD with you photos.

I am not expensive :) I do this mainly as a hobby, as such my rates are low compared to other photographers in my area. I will however share an interesting article I read a while back that talks about this in greater detail.

TFCD stands for Time For CD.

This basically means a free photo shoot. You give your time in exchange for photographs given to you on a disc. At the start of my photography, I mainly focused on TFCD photo shoots to get experience. Models were helping me gain the experience I was looking for, and I was helping the models get some nice photos in the process.

Today, I do TFCD on a very limited basis. Models need to be exceptionally good looking while having unique and different attributes that may stand out in a photograph.

Please do not be offended if I decline your offer of a TFCD shoot. It does not man you would not take excellent photographs, it just means that I am currently looking for something else for TFCD.

The average wait time is between 1 - 2 weeks. Editing is a time consuming process.

Photography is more of a hobby to me than anything. I do have a 9:00am - 5:00pm full time job, as such I am only available during evenings. I am free all day Saturday and Sunday.

Yes. You can bring a friend, so long as your friend is willing to be non-intrusive and/or willing to assist me with the shoot (ex: holding a light reflector, carrying equipment etc).

Yes and no.
The hours you purchased on your package begin when I begin shooting. If you paid extra fees for a makeup artist and a hairstylist, the clock does not start until I begin shooting. The clock does continue however if we travel to a second location, or if makeup and hair is being re-done.
