North Padre Island, Texas. I only moved there because I saw on YouTube that you could drive your car on the beach! I did the swimwear Photography for Cheeky Bikinis.

Years ago, Alexis stepped in front of my camera with a quiet grace and a heart of gold. Even then, there was something steady about her — a natural poise that couldn’t be taught. What I’ve always loved about working with young women in the pageant world isn’t just the crowns or the titles. It’s witnessing the character behind them. Alexis went on to become Miss Teen New Mexico USA and later Miss New Mexico USA — titles that reflect not just beauty, but discipline, presence, and inner strength. Looking back at these images reminds me of how powerful those early moments can be. Sometimes you can already see the foundation before the spotlight ever arrives. So grateful for the seasons we get to capture. — Cristal Hollywood Modeling Skool

But let’s not forget… I started my photography career in 1997 photographing men. And I love photographing men. Strong, quiet, bold, creative, rugged, polished — the camera reads authenticity, not gender. Guys, if you’ve ever thought professional photos “aren’t your thing,” think again. You deserve powerful images too. You deserve to see yourself the way the world sees you. Yes, I photograph women beautifully. But I photograph men beautifully too. Step in front of the camera. I’ve got you.
