I had the opportunity to work with Beth Smith a couple months ago. Our creative energies came together as she loved the vision I had in front of this old abandoned shack in the woods.

I had the opportunity to work with Emma Darling this past weekend. Our creative energies came together into this dark shoot that was awesome. We used a location of an abandoned hotel. Anyone that knows me would know that I am a horror junkie so this was right up my alley. Emma was well versed in the dark arts as she has worked on horror films. I most definitely will be working with her again. Check out the gallery.
