Finally we were done, and as I handed her a towel and went to leave the bathroom so she could dry off in private, I caught of glimpse of her holding the towel and told her to freeze.

Again, too many great images to choose from, so I just am sharing them all with you.

I couldn't decide which of these shots I liked, so I decided to share them all. She's just such a damn good model, so natural and effortless with the camera.

And once again, no matter how serious or focused McKenzie looks in these pics, she's still a complete dork. I'm honored that occasionally she and my other models think I'm interesting enough to laugh at a few of my jokes, and thankfully I'm able to capture the moment sometimes, too.

These shots reminded me of the classic painting "The Death of Marat" by Jacques-Louis David, which has always been one of my favorites.
These are the kinds of thoughts I have during a shoot, rather than to appreciating having a beautiful naked women before me. I suppose this is why these ladies trust me so much.
Done with the above shots, I started scooting back into the tiled, stand-up shower to get a little bit of distance from her.

And of course, one simple butt shot. McKenzie is self-conscious of her backside, the same way she is about her stomach area, but she trusted that I'd make it look as good as possible. As usual, I assured her she had nothing to be afraid of.

Many of my shots are taken in such a haphazard way, not looking, reaching the camera to an angle that my eye can't get to and clicking away, using as much instinct as possible to hopefully capture what I want.

It's hard to beat this view. And yet humorously, this was taken as I reached over the tub and held the camera as high as I could over my head, shooting blind, as I often do.

From there we began to capture the images we originally had planned, taken from higher up, looking down on her half-submerged form.

Despite how easy McKenzie can be to work with, she never hesitates to speak her mind, and I think in this moment she was talking about someone who had pissed her off. However, realizing that the camera was still on her, she still instinctively posed.

From there, I gave no direction and just let her go.

But eventually, it was time to dive in and get fully wet. McKenzie can even make a simple act like getting her hair wet seem gorgeous and erotic.

And of course, if anyone knows McKenzie, they know she can't help but be a little dirty now and again.

People might comment on her skin or her eye contact here, but my favorite part to this image is the water droplets coming off her fingers.

These portraits of her above the water just killed me. It was as if the entire room had been designed for this very moment. I love her confidence and beauty in this shot. So timeless.

Of course, no matter how much fun we were having, real life still had to intervene, and occasionally McKenzie or I would have to address an urgent text message.

And finally, even though I had just fed her a plate of the best enchiladas that can be found on the Central Coast, she was was ready to get in and reveal all. Though McKenzie has no big issue with being nude for photos, she rarely has felt comfortable sharing them. The sets from this weekend she visited were the first time she r...

The second of my favorites from this shoot.
