Whew! So, I usually write a blog about each shoot as I post images from the shoots, but in getting ready for my big East Coast trip, I totally forgot to write blog posts about these shoots! So, to remedy that, I’ll be writing about all of them here. 🙂
They won’t be as in-depth as I usually write, but it will get everyone caught up to date on the shoots that I’ve published shots from! Yay!
I’m only going to include 1 shot from each shoot in this entry, but lots of shots from each one can be found in different sections here. 🙂
Jeff Duran:
Shoot date: January 27, 2012
This was my first shoot with Jeff, and I had a lot of fun. We started out with just some portraits and headshots, moved on to some stuff with masks (as you can see from the image above), did some pseudo-fetish work, and finished with some art nudes. He was a great guy to work with, and even in first message (which included every details I need to plan something) he made a good impression.
The only complaint I had was that it took forever to actually get the images he promised me in his initial message. He originally only sent me like 3, and nothing else. I found more posted to his MM account, but he never replied to my message asking if he could email them to me so I had to save them off of his MM account. Then 2 days ago he finally responded and sent me a few more. The shoot was in January and it took 6 months to get the images. 
But his pleasant demeanor and the outcome of the images make it so I would definitely work with him again. 🙂

Shoot date: January 27, 2012
I always love shooting with Fox. I love his style of images and personality. I always walk away feeling like we created amazing images. 🙂 This time I got to shoot with his kitties also, so I was ecstatic! 😛
This was our second shoot together, and it was just as fun as the first.
I think I said this last time I blogged about our shoot together, but if you get the chance to shoot with him, you should definitely take it. You will love the shots, and have a great time. 🙂
SteffanieCruseDickerson:
Shoot date: January 27, 2012
Steffanie is one of the most adorable photographers that I have ever worked with. While not from Florida, she is a friend of Fox’s and was staying with him when I came to shoot with him. I’m so happy she was there because I had a wonderful time shooting with her. We didn’t shoot very long, but I love the shots. I with that she lived closer so that we could work together more often. 🙂
Lots of laughs and fun moments ensued. 😛
John Sloan Photography:
Shoot date: January 28, 2012
This was my second shoot with John Sloan Photography, and it wasn’t near as enjoyable as the first. Although that had nothing to do with John. For being in January, it was unusually hot and sticky outside with lots of bugs. Yuck! But I think the shots came out pretty good, despite the heat.
An awesome friend of mine is the designer behind Supernova Designs, and she lent me a bunch of accessories to shoot a few months ago, and I’ve been slowly working them into shoots. 🙂 This was the first shoot I was able to do that, and I love how it shows off her handywork. I’ll be shooting more soon and will have awesome new pictures of them soon as well. 🙂
Agent Pendergast:
Shoot date: February 4, 2012
I shot with this photographer while he and his family were vacationing at a resort in Orlando, Florida. 🙂 They were originally from New Jersey, and were headed down to enjoy our beautiful weather.
We only shot for about an hour, but it was a lot of fun. This was my first shoot done almost entirely with Instax film (a medium I’m discovering is gaining more and more popularity among photographers and models alike). I love the final images and cannot wait to work with him again when I am in New Jersey!
Matthew Westerman:
Shoot date: February 6, 2012
This was an interesting shoot. We had originally discussed shooting a concept he had with mud and another with glitter. After we first scheduled the shoot I got really really sick and we had to postpone the date. About 6 months later we rescheduled and started talking about those concepts again. Everything was according to plan until a couple of days before the shoot. Then he sent me a message saying that we would be shooting in a consignment shop, but still told me to bring towels so that I could easily get the glitter off of me and such, so I thought we’d somehow be doing the same stuff.
When I got there the shop was still open to the public, and he wanted to shoot me shopping. I tried shopping and posing, which he told me to ignore the camera. Then I started to do that and he told me I wasn’t smiling for the camera enough. It was really confusing.
Then we shot in the clothes he picked out for me in the dressing rooms, which involved me constantly ducking back in the corner because the store patrons were still utilizing the store.
It was really awkward, and we shot nothing that we had originally discussed, and I felt really confused because I could tell that he hadn’t exactly gotten permission to be shooting nudes in the open by the people that opened the store.
DEEB:
Shoot date: February 6, 2012
I shot with this photographer the evening after my shoot with Matthew Westerman. He actually sent me an email that day and I just happened to log in to my email before heading back out of town to head home. I’m really glad I did. 🙂
Shooting with him was a welcome change from the confusing awardness of my previous shoot. He has a wonderful studio, was really laid back, and I just had a really great time.
The shots from this shoot have a little bit of a different look to them than other shoots that I usually do. They’re very raw and I love the colors he brought into them. 🙂
Corwin Prescott:
Shoot date: February 7, 2012
I have wanted to shoot with Corwin for the longest time and I finally got my chance when he and Vaunt were travelling through Florida! I met up with him on one of his last night in the state all the way in Jacksonville, and we shot this awesome fetish-y set for Zivity (You can check out the entire set here.)
I had such a great time shooting with him and talking to him. He’s a percussionist also, and it’s always nice to meet people I can connect with on that level. 🙂
I can’t wait to shoot with him again when I pass through Philadelphia on my tour this summer!
So, that’s all of the shoots I need to catch everyone up on. Although I only posted 1 shot from each shoot, you can always find more from each shoot on my Tumblr, DeviantArt, and Flickr accounts! 🙂
