Boyfriend or husband: I now have had two shoots almost back to back that were a disaster, so boyfriends or husband are not allowed to the shoot. I don't mind a make up artist or other stylists being at the shoot. They make you look good, not your boyfriend or husband. If you need a ride, have your boyfriend or husband drop you off. I don't mind a female friend coming with you as long as they do not distract you. If you are distracted with the shoot, i will ask your friend to leave until we're finished shooting. If you are local i can usually pick you up. If you are concern with your safety, I have many references and latest model's testimonial.

Proof of age: Please bring a photo ID that shows your Full name and Date of Birth. I will need to take a picture of it to keep on file. You must be at least 18 for me to shoot you.

Here is the model release that needs to be signed before we begin our shoot. This model release is for viewing purpose only. I will have one printed for you to sign when we first meet. I won't shoot until a model release is signed first. You can use the images however you want (except for profits unless we make an agreement) for self promotion, website, portfolio, etc.

Make up: I will assume you can do your own make up. If not, i will attempt to find one prior to our shoot. I may ask you to help split the cost for a MUA. Playing middle man is hard, so if i find one for you, you will need to contact the MUA directly and arrange a time and place to meet.

Good Facial Skin: Please have fair to good facial skin. If you do not, let me know ahead of time. I will determine if i can still work with you or not. I may ask you to take a close up head shot without make up.

Different look?: If you have a different look than what i have seen in your portfolio let me know. Hair shorter or different color? Tattoos? Piercing's?

Details in your profile are correct: If your details are not up to date then let me know. Example; age, weight, measurements, etc. If you're not in shape (overwight, double chin, fat ankles), i'm not shooting you.

Nails: If you have chipped nails, fix them or remove polish... PLEASE!

Bring some accessories like bracelets and beaded necklaces. Shells work the best.

Outfits: For outfits, bring solid color outfits. Don't bring black outfits. No busy looking designs that looks distracting. There maybe some exceptions.

I usually shoot up to 2-3 outfits, more if it is an all day shoot. I can be picky sometimes so bring 5 or 6 outfits that we can choose from. I usually don't shoot more than 2-3 hours with exception of an all day shoot, however don't plan anything after the shoot. Sometimes we may shoot longer than expected and I don't like being rushed during a shoot. Travel light, don't bring a suitcase to the beach. Use a duffle bag to carry your stuff. Dragging a suit case at the beach isn't fun and very hard since you can't use rollers. At other locations a suitcase maybe ok.

Some outfit suggestions to bring as well:

• 2 piece bikini. I don't shoot 1 piece swimsuits so leave those at home.

• Button up shirts or light sweater. Or something that is open in the front.

• Denim shorts/pants light blue.

• Booty shorts.

• Calvin Klein underwear/camisole.
• Mid drift tops.
• Short dresses.

• Wraps/scarfs.

• Sheer tops/dresses.

At other locations besides the beach, you can bring:

• Leather jacket

• Boots/heels

• Victoria's Secret/lingerie.

If we are shooting at the beach please bring sexy outfits other than swimsuits. There could be a change in weather and could be an overcast day at the beach. Sometiimes i won't know until i drive closer to the coast from inland. If so we'll have to cancel or shoot more inland where it is sunny.

Spray on tans: Do not use spray on tans. Use a tanning salon instead. I can work with pale skin a lot easier than blotches from spray on tan. If your skin is blotchy, i won't shoot you. Don't waste my time or yours.

Your Phone number and email: If I didn't get your phone number, please make sure i get it. My number is 714-403-4063. I confirm several times before our shoot usually by text message. I may call you on the day of the shoot, but usually I confirm by text messaging instead. I use email as a backup for messaging and for sending you images.

PLEASE keep your phone charged. Yes I have models phone die on the day of our shoot and I can't get hold of them. Needless to say, each model's phone that has died, I end up going home as they were arriving to the shoot.

If you don't hear from me the day before the shoot, please call or message me for confirmation. Some days i get over 40 emails scheduling with models. Through back and forth messaging, i may forget to add you to my calendar.

FAQ:

Q. Do i get a CD of the images after the shoot?

A. No, i don't burn a CD. I will edit up to 4 images per outfit but it also depends how well your look turned out during the shoot. I email the images to you as i edit them. I usually get them all done within a week or two unless I am very busy editing previous model's photos. Models whom i shoot for Look Swimwear or other contests will have priority, even if i shoot them after I’ve shot you. I usually do not edit on the weekends i have my son with me.

Q. Do i get to choose the pictures?

A. No, i do the choosing of the pictures. I'm not changing my policy. If you're shooting with me, then it's because you like my work right?

Q. Will i get the other un-edited pictures?

A. No. There is no need to have a bunch of pictures that are very similar. You get the best pictures out of the shoot. I will not allow any of my work that is lesser in quality floating around the internet. Even if you promised me you will not post them anywhere, the answer is still no. I hope you understand this and don't let my decision keep you from shooting with me. But i will allow you to have out takes of memorable moments that makes us all laugh. :)

Q. I like to edit photos given to me. Can i edit the photos you give me?

A. If you're the type to edit other photographer's work then don't schedule a shoot with me unless you want to pay me for my time.
