David and I started talking a few months before we shot, and as soon as he messaged me I instantly recognized his work, because I’d been a huge fan of his photos for a while and he has a distinct look to his images. I messaged back as fast as I could saying I would love to work with him. The only problem was that he was in Maryland at the time, so I didn’t know how it would ever happen. In his response he said he’d been thinking about relocating and that St. Pete, Florida seemed like a great place. St. Pete is only 2.5 hours away from me and I’m there frequently for shoots, so I couldn’t believe it! Before I knew it he’d messaged me saying he moved and was unpacking! We scheduled our shoot for about a month out and I counted down the days. 🙂
Shooting with him was wonderful! I was so comfortable with him and it went so smoothly. He usually has a no-escort policy, so I was ecstatic when he said he understood I needed someone with me in case I passed out. Posing for him was fun and I can’t wait to do it again!!
You can check out some of the images in this post, a few more in my portfolio on this site, and a couple more on the other sites I post pictures! (Links on the front page, and on the links page.)
