Shea's Young Model Shoot 2019

What a blast this summer has been as I had the privilege to work with 12 AMAZING young models!! Shea was one of them but also has been photographed by me before. She’s a talented athlete and we had so much fun on their family shoot but I didn’t have as much time to just focus on her a lone, so I was thrilled she applied to be one of my Young Models this summer! We wanted something a little different for her individual shoot and little did I know, that involved scaling down a VERY large cliff with all of my camera gear, but boy were the shots worth it!!! Shea, you are stunning and you are a sweetheart! Not often you find that combination. Matt and Maureen, you are doing a great job with this one!!

2019 Young Model Applications Now Being Accepted

Each year at this time, I put out a Young Model Call that is similar to my High School Senior Model Team. For a very limited time, I accept applications for graduating 8th graders (or possibly 7th, or 9th). This is an opportunity to capture the beauty of youth, before the new world of High School begins. These have become some of my favorite shoots because I literally watch the self confidence soar in these young people. I truly believe it helps them gain confidence in themselves before entering the scary world of High School with all of it’s unknowns. Many of the young ladies who come into my Young Model program, are a bit timid and shy, but when we get together on the fun group shoot, they realize what a blast it is, and they let down their inhibitions and have a blast with the other models. By the time we do their individual shoot, they are pros and so much more confident in who they are and in my relationship with them. I just love building these relationship and then hopefully they can come back as one of my Senior Models when they are Juniors in High school!
