I started photography early on in my life but really didn't take it seriously until college. I graduated from the University of Toledo, in Toledo Ohio, with a BA in Art with a concentration in photography. Up until graduation I had been focusing on urban fine art photography which had really allowed me to hone in on certain rules and compositions. I like to say "it got my mind right".

Shortly after graduation, I moved to sunny Tampa, Florida. Once I was in Tampa, the beaches and the sun really started to take over my life and inspiration and "awakening" some might call it. I really began to hone in and focus on swim-wear and glamour photography and quickly learned that I had a knack for it. To me it's still about the overall photograph. Yes, most people just see a beautiful girl and thats good enough, but I try to take into consideration the entire feel and emotion of the photograph. The whole composition has to mend well with the model and have an overall appeal of sexiness.

Im a complete beach bum at heart and frankly the corporate world is just not for me. I pride myself in being as laid back as I think laid back can get. Im extremely easy to work with and make sure the model is having a great time during the shoot. Laugh breaks are common.

I feel privileged that I get to wake up and do this for a living and meet great and interesting people everyday.

Kyle, You are fun to work with!! And really nice and chill, so easy to talk to. You had great ideas and so did I! Can't wait to work with you next time!Maranda Balog Even though we had to do everything in speed-mode (my fault ofcourse), Kyle got into the shoot right away and we were able to get some great shots. He was fun and we were laughing the whole time and he definitely knows what he is doing. He's professional, patient (we got lost for like 20 mins!), awesome to work with, and I hope I can work with him again in the future. He's definitely worth the drive/trip from wherever you're at if you're looking for some beautiful shots =)
