50 Shades of BROWN

50 shades of brown? I know, I know... "how unoriginal, right?" That was my horrible attempt at a joke at the expense of the '50 Shades of Grey' phenomenon lol. My good friend Daniel D'Ottavio wanted to capture the spirit of love and seduction: without being so literal. The tricky part about photographing half naked couples is finding that equilibrium between seduction and imagination. These type of photo-shoots can easily turn out raunchy. Lucky for me, my girlfriend's dad A.K.A. my second dad loved the portraits. I know this because he allowed me live another day, lol. He is a man of few words and I like to live so his opinion mattered most, lol. My modeling agency loved the shots too! Daniel D'Ottavio is an amazing photographer, he really knows how to capture that 'special moment.' Thanks Daniel for the beautiful pictures. On another note, how beautiful is Nina? Ahhhhhh... She takes my breath away (Cheesy but true... so true).

My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to book this job together! We went to the casting together and I had a feeling we were going to get the job... because my girlfriend is: Awesome, beautiful, funny & I'm just goofy and awkward, lol. I figured: Who wouldn't want to see "Beauty and the Beast Come to Life, lol." When we found out we were working together for the first time we literally SCREAMED: "WOOOOHOOO!" I love this girl to death!
