Jenny - Brickwall
On the 27th of December I had the pleasure of working with this beautiful young lady with and infectious smile. I had a lot of fun capturing Jenny next to our brick wall at HTX Mulberry Studio. I used my Canon EOS R camera with my 35mm Sigma Art lens. Lighting for this setup was a Godox SK400II with a 38” deep parabolic octagon softbox with a eggcrate grid, and a 8”x36” softbox with grid, high above to mimic a street light.
Ayla - Green Dress
These images of the beautiful, slim and sexy Ayla were taken on December 18th, 2020 at HTX Mulberry Studio. I started this set with a high key glamour setup then switched it to a low key fashion look. I used 3 Godox SK400II studio strobes 2 with 14x63in stripboxes, both angled toward her from behind on both sides, the other was my main light with a 38” Glow EZ Lock Deep Parabolic Softbox then a Godox SK300II with a blue gel for the low key images. My Canon EOS R was the camera used for the high key I used the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L (ISO 200, 100mm, f2.8, 1/50sec). I used my Sigma Art 35mm 1.4 (ISO 200, 35mm, f5.6 1/80sec) for the low key images.
Angela - Silver Gown
I shot these images of Angela, September 12th of 2020 at HTX studio 409. I decided to wait until a special day to post this set. What’s a better day than New Year’s day. She showed a perfect amount of grace and beauty with these images. The lighting set up for these were 2 Godox SK400II studio strobes with 14x63in stripboxes, both were angled toward her, then a Godox SK300II with a blue gel and a Flashpoint II 320M with a red gel. Both facing the black background. I also added a little smoke for a more dramatic effect. The camera used my Canon EOS R with the Sigma Art 35mm 1.4 lens.
Ayla - Mask
Sorry, I thought I posted this set months ago. This set of images were taken May 29th at HTX Studio 409. What do I do when I get beautiful facial features, long silky hair and damn near flawless skin? I cover it with a black lace mask. I knew Ayla would be a perfect candidate for my mask series. She’s very glamorous and captivating. For this lighting set up, a Godox SK400II with a 33” Octagon softbox was used with a 67” x 24” clamshell reflector to light her under her chin.
Joanna - Schoolgirl
On August 2nd of 2020, I hooked up with Joanna at HTX Studio 409 to capture these schoolgirl images. She produced some great images as usual. The lighting for this set up was simply a Godox SK400II studio strobe with a 60” Octagon softbox. For the later images I turn the octagon toward my white wall and bounced it back. My camera of choice was my Canon R with my 35mm 1.4 Sigma lens.
Ayla - Before the Storm
These images of the beautiful Ayla was taken on September 5th 2020 out near Kehma Board Walk. We shot two other set’s before this one but we kind of had to rush this because a storm was coming in. The wind from the storm actually had her hair blowing gracefully but I was a little afraid it would blow her off this little cliff we were near. Lighting for this set was an Flashpoint AD200 with a 32” octagon softbox. My camera of choice was my Canon EOS R with a 24-105 lens.
Angela - Yoga
Since it’s Monday, I thought it would be a great day to post these monochrome images of Angela. A funsized model, photographer and business woman. She’s a delightful individual to be around. This shoot went great. She knocked all 3 sets that we did that day, (September 9th 2020 at HTX Studio 409), out the box. Lighting for this set was 2 Godox SK400II studio strobes with 14x63in stripboxes, both were angled toward her, one in a little in front and the other slightly behind her on the opposite side.
Joanna - Stripes
Joanna lives in Dallas now so we had to catch up on August 2nd when she was in Houston for the weekend. As usual Joanna did not disappoint. We got some great sets in and she made these stripes pop. Lighting for this set was 2 Godox SK400II studio strobe with 14x63in stripboxes. One in front to her right and the other behind her to her left.
Ayla - White Paints Suit
Today is this beautiful goddess’ birthday so of course it would be fitting to post one of our latest sets together. This set of Ayla was taken on September 5th 2020 at the Kemah marina in a little gazebo. As usual she delivered some great images. Her beauty and her ability to deliver great poses makes her a joy to work with.

The background was a 7 foot parabolic umbrella.
Ayla - Midtown Park
Is it just me or is this model outrageously gorgeous? Ayla and I decided to head to Midtown Park for these image. The date was May 30th 2020. Ayla is very easy to shoot with, every image was a great image. I used both my Canon 7D and my EOS R mirrorless to capture these images. The lenses used were the Sigma 35mm and the Canon 24-105mm. The lighting for this set was a Godox SK400II with a 36in Octagon modifier, powered by a Vagabond Mini.

This Flashback from March 12th 2017, was taken of the beautiful Tina and a few of her import scene friends. It was taken near Minute Maid park with the sky line in the background.

The lighting set up for this set was a Godox SK400II with no modifier to the camera right of the blinds.
