I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER! I Love taking Artistic and Creative pictures. I want to get more of those great art like shots that make other people say "NICE"! My goals are to get some really fantastic shots; to make people happy when they see themselves, for their loved ones to enjoy; or just seeing something special in my prints! I do charge $75.00 per hour if you want all the rights to the photos, $45 per hour if I keep the rights and will share them with the model to use for their portfolio, and I still do an occasional TFP shoot. These are very fair as I feel the value you get in photos is my time, my equipment, my gas, and quite a few years of photography expertise. I do have a portfolio that deserves that! I have a portable studio and lights and have now done quite a few weddings and engagement pics...Talk to me I am easy to get along with : )

I Love to see the Art and Beauty in everything I do! I'm am basically a pro photographer and many of my subjects think I'm pretty good as well. I'm always willing to learn and improve and shoot in a very professional manner. Ask any of the models I have worked with if you have any questions as to my character.

Artsy, Classy shots are what I want to do. I am not one to spend hours and hours getting one good shot. Going from one pose to another and getting multiple shots with different backgrounds, settings, and poses is my preference to be able to pick out a few great shots that do materialize. I prefer outdoor settings but can and have done some great studio work. Check out my link above or my own personal favorites at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ricksrockinpics/

I have a portable studio (lights & backdrops) and have worked them in homes, apartments, garages, a few warehouses, stray barns, a wheelbarrow, a tunnel, a dungeon and can set them up if you have a space with a plug. Also like the beauty salon/body paint booth and studio all in one; thanks Annette! Still looking to do the Laundro-mat shoot; someday!

I am fine with escorts and am always happy if they hold a reflector and fix hair and makeup. : )

Thanks to all the models, artists and escorts who have helped and worked with me to get some amazing shots. It has been a pleasure working with all of them in the credits below. Always looking to do interesting shots and scenes so please message me with ideas you might be thinking of.

My email is rsholten969@gmail if you prefer to use that. My schedule is very flexible M-F and unless paid gigs I spend weekends with the family.
