Nadia is a Heart breaker indeed. We're all gaga about her over here at The Ranch. She's beautiful and cute at the same time... and we all finally agreed who she reminds us of...Lacey Chabert (AKA Claudia Salinger from the early nineties show “Party of five”. Strange? I know. On a side note, this game of “What celebrity does the model look like?” is very popular here, and is a staple of every production day. I agreed to meet Nadia at The Ranch at 7:30am, a half hour earlier than usua...

The time change brings us to an early sunset here on the west coast, depriving us of two hours of natural light. Without the sun it forces us to become a little bit more creative as to how we use the light. My first day working here at Hicks Ranch I learned a lot about natural light. About how to mood light, window light, the beauty of back lighting and a lot more tricks on just how to work with the beauty of natural light. Now that we lose the sun two hours earlier we are forced to use more of ...

Last Thursday morning Mark introduced me to the model sitting in the make up chair as Nadia Aria. At the moment all Nadia could do was raise a hand in salutation since this was also the critical moment in which the eye pencil is making its mark just below the cornea. Past moments similar to this one were quickly followed by a scolding from our make up artist, Jennifer who takes the greatest responsibility ...

We're currently in the midst of some content reorganization as some of you guys may have noticed. One of the most notable changes you may have seen is that we've stopped updating Covergirls. Covergirls has been the place where we put a handful of the best Dreamgirl photos every month. What we've done instead is left those same photos in the Dreamgirl's set. You're getting the same content, but packaged more cohesively. Within the next couple of weeks the Covergirls section will dis...

A big part of what makes this job so rewarding for me is working with the guys here at the Ranch. As much as I hate to admit it shooting the naked girls pales in comparison to creating, problem solving, and the general camaraderie around here. Don't get me wrong, we all appreciate the feminine beauty that our lenses often bestow—but to a man I can kinda guarantee that it's the team/work process that drives us to be here. I'd be a liar if I said that we all ...

Remember this freshy? It's Nadia Aria. Oh no, one day wasn't enough. We had her back and/in front of our lenses again last week. With one of our intense production days already under her belt, Nadia came back and modeled with poise and confidence giving these photos a whole new look and feel.

November ToyStory featuring Lexi Belle will publish on November 21st I was reviewing the remainder of the November Video yesterday when I rediscovered something. It is an issue that we all are aware exists and are finding a future solution. By working towards not separating Extreme stills and videos from the main content the DDX calendar became "nearly" obsolete. There is still...

--Tori gives great face! Tori Black will be in our studios next week after a two year absence. I hope you enjoy these photographs of her from the last time she was up on our hill top studio. Charles and I were in Prague during this shoot so my anticipation is quite high. This past weekend I attended ...

Hey all, We're in production with a brand spankin' new model, Talia Shepard. Her seductive brown eyes and warm, yet wicked, smile make her a pleasure to shoot. You also can't fail to notice her amazing set of natural 36Cs nor her long beautiful brown hair. Talia is 19 and hails out of Arizona.

Ok guys & gals, here's some 'Inside Scoop'--a little trash, a little gossip I bet you didn't know; Alexis was a cheerleader/good girl growing up in a very small town in Texas. She said she looked around her town at the people and was so submerged in fear that her life might turn out like theirs that she ran straight to tinsel town and found her niche as a porn actress.

Lately, here at Digital Desire head quarters, it seems as though we've been having an influx of beautiful, young girls with healthy sex drives. Lucky for all of us they have been more than happy to share this essence in our pictorials and videos. Keeping with this trend, is Talia Shepard. Talia was awaiting an important call from her agent during this pictorial, so she kept her cell close by. She ...

The talk here at the ranch this past week is about Talia Shepard. Talia is a beautiful fresh young girl with many goals in life. She has a huge passion for modeling and wants to see how far it can take her. The one thing I had to mention to her was to stay away from the hardcore world. She replied that she wouldn't do that in a million years. "I don't even like to do girl-girl" she said. As Stephen has told you in the past we always tell the models not to enter that world, but only 5% mig...

Known as the model look/see, they are sometimes planned as late as that same morning and sometimes they are as random as a cell phone call from five miles out but they are often some of the most enjoyable, appreciated and down-right interesting occurrences here on the Ranch. Sometimes known as a go/see and sometimes known as a model casting although the latter is a little formal for around here. ...

We do lots of things a little bit differently here at Digital Desire. We only shoot genuinely attractive girls, we work with a code of integrity and respect, and we work out in stable country, near a bunch of ranches. We call our studio Hicks Ranch, and we're kind of out in the boonies here in Agoura. Working out in nature is pretty great, we have some amazing views here at the office, such as: ...

Those of you who've followed my words of the last several years would know that overall I take a pretty hard line on models and their choice to shoot hardcore porn. Today I had the pleasure of shooting Tori Black and she breathed some light on my otherwise dim hardcore attitude. I first met Tori a few years back while she was here for production and Mark was shooting her. She was a bit heavy, h...
