    A Muse Visits! Introducing Jordan!

    We visited a restaurant really early for their famous trout to beat the crowd. My fortune was in that less busy time, the hostess was not pressured. I noticed her graceful long neck with a remarkable tattoo! Here younger brother that she adores. On the way out I handed her my card and said I...

    A Muse Visits! Folk I love to work with in my studio!

    It's busy, I really have no idea what I am going to do that day. It happens spontaneously: what clothes are available, did we get a makeup artist, is Kirstie my assistant available or off shooting in Texas or Montreal etc! I plan to share a few from a studio shoot earlier this: one of two...
