And when I found myself going to Brazil on a surf vacation then I realized I had the opportunity to make that dream come true. Florianopolis, Brazil is famously known for having some of Brazil's most beautiful women. I personally have travelled all around the world and have never seen a place so full of beautiful people.

In January of 2008 then I headed to Florianopolis for a 3 week long surf vacation. Before this trip I had never shot professional photos of women, or anything else for that matter. I was an avid amateur photography but living in Montana then my prior subjects had always been nature, such things as grizzly bears or sunsets. Seeing the beautiful women of Florianopolis then I had an idea of making a swimsuit calendar...
