Lisa and Raul are after my own heart. Not only did they want to incorporate their dog into their engagement shoot, but her name is Pixel. On top of that, they are fellow creatives and just stellar to be around. They were up for anything I wanted to try and nailed their part…looking great. I’ll […]

Today’s One Shot comes from a fun, styled bridal shoot I did with some cool people. Colleen, from the FORD/Robert Black Agency, was our beautiful model. Melissa, from Matriarch Salon, was did her wonderful hair thing. The image itself is a bit of a tease since it doesn’t highlight Colleen’s lovely face our Melissa’s wicked […]

I don’t know if I’ve ever taken so many photos, delivered so many photos, or blogged so many photos. This wedding had to be as fun to attend as it was to photograph. Tears and smiles were everywhere and it was all because these two are such a great couple. You can tell just how […]

When your first date involves a trip to Sportsman’s, you belong in nature. Such is the case with Julie and Matt. Just another reason this Arizona desert location looks so good on them. I mean, they even make their his and her shotguns look adorable. Er…tough. I meant they look tough with their shotguns. Sorry, […]

Here’s a little teaser from Ashley and Nick’s wedding I photographed last weekend. Finding backgrounds at backyard weddings can often be a challenge. However, taking parts of someone’s house and turning it into beautiful imagery is a fun challenge for me. I love playing with negative space and this concrete wall on the side of the […]

Here’s a shot from Julie and Matt’s desert engagement session. I told you in my last One Shot post that I like playing with negative space. Here it is to the extreme. I just love how they look against the big wide open sky. It has an epic feel to it, and I love images […]

Okay, everyone wins. I won’t try and shoot my own wedding photos. Unless some of you do think it’s a good idea….no one? Okay, I give up. As much as I’d love to shoot my own wedding photos, I know it’s absurd and I’d rather focus on my lovely soon to be wife, Katie. (whose […]

The holidays make a great time for families to update their pictures. Which is fun for me because the rest of the year I’m doing much more of the wedding and engagement stuff. Rather than fall behind on blogging, I’m doing sort of a greatest hits for the family sessions I haven’t been fortunate to […]

I was recently hired to travel to Paris, France to photograph the latest Airbnb Open as part of a team of six photographers. As the only American photographer, I was honored. The event was an amazing, mammoth gathering of Airbnb hosts and employees. Over 5,000 people from 110 countries in fact. It was an unforgettable experience. […]

Happy New Year! I am trying something new on my blog in 2016. Within a day or two of my shoots I’m going to be posting one of my favorite photos from the session and then I am going to talk about why I like it or what I did to make the shot. Something […]
