Hey guys! Today, I want to introduce you to the beautiful Matison Card. Our shoot was special because it was my first agency shoot! She is signed with Bella Agency Los Angeles, and they wanted me to get a few shots with her to show what I can do ;). My initial thought was to go to one of the state beached in Malibu to get some beachy shots, but we both agreed that it would be easier to meet in West Hollywood, which was a great idea on her part! We met in front of the tattoo parlor I basically live at, and we walked around looking for cool places to shoot. I also took this time to interview her for my blog, because come on, why wouldn't I! Oh, and guys, only looking, NO TOUCHING! She's engaged :P I hope you enjoy!
