Dakota, Katie, Sports, and Water

I am a proud Tennessean and a proud Nashvillian too. I love hiring local models who are beautiful/handsome in their own right. I enhance photos but do not airbrush or use extreme techniques. The equipment is simple: a Samsung Galaxy smart phone, Canon digital camera, and Microsoft photo editor. My female models are typically "girl next door" types, and this is the way I like it. The sort of girl you could see out on the town and easily develop a crush on. 

Recently I began hiring male models to pose for duo pictorials alongside females. The latest introduction came from Brittany of Fayetteville, Tennessee. Brittany introduced her cousin Dakota from Hazel Green, Alabama. I was surprised that Brittany drove from southern Middle Tennessee to interview and sign contracts and, of course, was glad to have her back in Nashville for two photo shoots. Hopefully there are more to come.

Dakota's enthusiasm surprised me. Since he is from north Alabama, I wasn't sure if he could recruit a female in his area to commit to the drive time and my project (I pay models, but the pay is token cash compensation). Dakota pleasantly surprised me by introducing Katie from Madison, Alabama. His enthusiasm seemed to pass smoothly to Katie. They traveled to Nashville with Brittany on August 13, 2022 to sign contracts and to complete the ID clearance process for my OnlyFans page.

Both Dakota and Katie are motorcycle enthusiasts, so we considered a motorcycle theme for their debut photo shoot. But the timing was not quite right for Dakota to drive his bike to Nashville. So we considered several other options. One was baseball. In 2020, models Chrystal and Mia Rochelle were awesome in St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds apparel. But I really needed an Atlanta Braves theme since the Braves are reigning world champions and have always been popular in the Nashville area.

I was able to obtain a t-shirt for Brittany to wear for her August 13 pictorial, but Dakota did not have as much luck with the ordering and shipping process. Just before I was about to threaten to file suit😉, he finally received his Ronald Acuna Jr. replica 2022 All-Star Game Braves jersey. 

But, as you are well aware, NCAA football is beginning. With two models from Alabama, I could not resist asking for some Crimson Tide apparel, too. Dakota brought his Tide t-shirt. Katie leans toward Auburn and has an AU Tigers t-shirt. So that finalized one theme for the shoot. We headed for Tin Roof Lower Broadway, where I am a regular. Thankfully, the venue accommodated us on a busy Saturday afternoon. We kept a low profile, and I opened a bar tab. The models posed on both the first and second floors.

Katie performed well in the topless football portion of the shoot, and Dakota helped make sure she was comfortable and that her privacy was maintained. We made it happen in my studio apartment at The 500 Fifth. Katie joins Mia Rochelle as one of my "football in front of chest" provocative promotional models.

While Katie changed into her bikini, Dakota posed for some solo baseball photos with bat, ball, glove, and sharp new Braves All-Star jersey.

The Braves jersey matched Katie's black bikini perfectly, and Katie frolicked delightfully at the fountains at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. The fountains symbolize the rivers of Tennessee, but my new model from Alabama could make any man forget about rivers quickly.😉

One challenging part of this pictorial was the photos where Katie and Dakota are kissing or proceeding to kiss. This was a tricky part of the Adam & Eve theme shoot on July 2 starring Moxie and JT. But the experience from the July shoot produced a strong product and helped prepare me for Dakota and Katie's shoot.

Katie dreams of becoming a certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) but is working other jobs for now. She has a history as a drag car racer and sport bike rider (crotch rockets). She has officially verified that her motorcycle brand of choice is Kawasaki. She has played piano for some 12 years and writes music.

Ardmore, Alabama is located in Limestone County on the Tennessee state line. One of Katie's claims to fame is being crowned as Ardmore Rodeo Queen in 2014. From what she states, this title involves more than presenting a cute face in rodeo-themed attire. Knowledge of the sport and the event are also required.

Dakota rides Yamaha motorcycles and is experienced at car maintenance and repair. He drives a 2015 Nissan Altima but knows about many makes and models. He is a dedicated father and a welder by trade. He picked up a lot of knowledge during his boyhood on a farm. 

This photo shoot was historical in a sense - the first shoot featuring models from outside of Tennessee. These two fit perfectly together and created some 380 awe-inspiring photos. I am proud to have Dakota and Katie as members of my promotional model dynasty.
