I would not recommend going to this business. Unprofessional. Warning do not leave your young daughters with him.

This creepy old man has harassed me for four years, refusing to take down pictures of me that he claimed were originally taken to "test the light" in his photo studio in Cannery Row (I was just a salesperson). He refuses to take these photos down and proudly displays my first and last name for all of the internet to see. I am pursuing the matter legally but want to make sure his behavior is noted for all to see. Scary and GROSS.

Funny, It appears "Blake" has had some "friends" write some reviews to make himself look better.  Blake was WAS a friend of mine many years ago when I was a model.  So when I booked him to shoot my wedding I really was happy to work with an old friend.  BUT he insisted on the engagement photos - Hey we are in our 40's now, we don't do that stuff - He wanted to "sell" them to my family - We are not teens - no one wants those - UGH.  He would not bend, I asked nicely for a refund, You would think an old friend would have a heart, but no - not a penny back - so sad.  Then a year later when I got socked with a $100,000 out of pocket surgery or a brain tumor I asked again, have a heart Blake, but no, no compassion for an old friend.  Really sickened and sad.

I didn't win any photos, I went in after he was recommended by a friend. I wanted to take some nice pictures so my young son could someday remember me before I get old.The photo session took longer than expected, but I have seldom had photos taken.  We did a lot of different poses and outfits that I had brought.  He took some great pictures, but they were way too sexy...I really wanted pictures for my son.  I am a little large chested, who am I kidding, I have an enormous rack.  Anyway, it can be down played in photos that are done well.  I ended up with several poses that looked like I was trying to make the cover of those free mags in front of the liquor store.  He suggested nudes...which I declined thinking "why would my son want a nude?"  Gross.  I had made it pretty clear I wanted some family-friendly pictures so my kiddo wouldn't grow up to think I had always been old.So, I did purchase some of the very attractive, sexy pictures. Not for my son, but because damn I looked good.  Some of them were TOO airbrushed and I looked plastic.  They were also pretty pricey.  Anyway, not sure this helps.  I had mixed feelings about the whole thing.  I'm not sure if I should have felt "dirty" after leaving because clearly he wasn't focused on my eyes.  But whatever.
