Robert Beczarski and Andrea/ Factor Women

 Andrea hails from New York where she is represented through two agencies I believe - a project brought her a few months to the Chicago market. She is a beautiful woman with some resemblance to Brooke Shields we had decided. Classic in looks and a versatile beauty.


Robert Beczarski and Ashley Simone of Ford Models

 Robert is one of my favorite photographers yet I still haven't hit the streets with him for the outdoor shots he is famous for. I look forward to gaining some strong new images with him as the winter breaks eventually. Ashley is a fun/adventurous lady who is willing to try new things and a trip to Miami to model may be in her near future. These images were to strengthen her book for a new market. I have had the pleasure to work with her again following this shoot.

Bellafoto Chicago/ Carolina Casillas




 What in enjoyable shoot this was with the always fabulous George Mario. I am a fan of his work and I was very pleased with his model on this day. Carolina is a young and very beautiful woman with gentle eyes and a gentle spirit to match. She is becoming sought after for her range and ability to pull off a nice variety of looks. Here is a few images from our time together.

 Tiffany Mohiser, Designer turns Vintage upside down (literally)
She reinvents the wheel so to speak, by repurposing really cool vintage clothing pieces. I have visions of my favorite 80's movie-Pretty in Pink! I appreciate when an old amazing home with really great "bones" is redesigned rather than demolished.  The amazing pieces in her collection offer a subtle glimpse of what they once were- I only wish she would post "before and afters"! I am telling you-her stuff is just plain cool. she offers accessories with each clothing purpose-quite literally The WholeShBang! An entire look delivered direct to you- she takes the guesswork out of wardrobing yourself with celebrity smart fashions.

Carolina is true Brazilian Beauty. She and SM Group contacted me to provide Hair/Makeup services for this shoot. It turned out to be such a cool experience. We tried many different looks and took a bit of the shoot out to the streets. Carolina is a very versatile model and our results were fruitful. We were able to get her through a number of different looks for her L.A. bound portfolio.

          Pablo Roberto (wardrobe) Amy Miller and I


What a lovely girl Amy turned out to be. I enjoyed chatting with her more than I can recall with other models --she was so warm and curious and modest. I appreciate her features and her frame, very petite, is rock solid and I value the shape she keeps herself in. I had such a nice time with she and photographer, Ryan Cain. Ryan sees light a little differently than most photographers. He uses natural light to his advantage and really does amazing things with composition. I think he is a nice "guy next door" type that would make any lady feel "like a lady."  Pablo Roberto was on wardrobe and it was my first time meeting him. He is inventive and eager to make a total look for his models. It is a pleasure to watch Pablos visions unfold into beautiful and interesting images with Ryan behind the lens. I look forward to working with both again soon.

Courtney Barber- The beautiful Miss Australia Galaxy and Miss Bikini California 2010

                                                  Fashion Division
 I love love loved working with this fine lassie on her long journey to finals night at Miss Galaxy International 2011. That journey began months earlier when she contacted me to book her spots for competition. She is an athlete crossover-into the pageant world and we were happy to have her! She has a rockin' bod and after doing the fitness circuit in our fine USA she made her first attempt EVER at a pageant title. And she did not to shabby I might add- landing in the top 8 at her International competition.  This girl has the spirit of an athlete, charm of a southerner (American) and the smile to light an entire room. See for yourself...
