Hey everyone - I need your help.

I was laid off from my lead photographer job just weeks before Christmas due to “restructuring”, so I’ve spent the last few months spending every waking moment into getting my business back up and running.

I’ve shot thousands of sessions over the years and never asked for a Google review until now. If you’ve worked with me before and had a good experience, could you take just 20 seconds right now and leave me a quick 5-star Google review?

Google reviews really impact whether I show up when someone searches for a photographer in Phoenix.

I’ve also spent the last few months completely rebuilding my website to make it easier to use and more accessible for everyone. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s live - and if you know someone who needs a session, send them to realmccoyphoto.com so they can see my work and grab a session.

If you haven’t worked with me yet, here’s how you can help:

Book a session - Openings available now for graduation, maternity, family, and headshots.

Refer someone - Tag a friend or send them to realmccoyphoto.com

Share this post - Helps more people see my work.

Engage - Likes and comments tell the algorithm to show my posts to more people.

I’ve built this business around making professional photography accessible to everyone. My “only pay for the photos you love” model means there’s no risk - you only purchase images you actually want after you see them.

I’m also very passionate about creating a space where everyone feels welcome - neurospicy, LGBTQ+, people of all backgrounds and cultures, anyone who hates being in front of a camera. If that resonates with you or someone you know, I’d love to work together!

Thanks for being here and following along as I rebuild. Every review, share, and referral makes a real difference.

Another butte-iful maternity session in the Arizona desert.

If you’ve ever thought about doing photos here… this is your sign. Book a session for free and only pay for the photos you want to keep.

I had an amazing time at here in Phoenix.

Over 3 days, I photographed nearly 500 headshot sessions, and galleries were delivered just days after the conference wrapped.

It was amazing to be around so many people who care so deeply about keeping our planet and businesses sustainable. Even and were there.

At the end of 2025, I got laid off from a role I cared about a lot, and I wasn’t sure I even wanted to keep going with photography.

But I picked myself up. (Rescue pups and a little therapy helped tremendously.)

This year, I built an entire system from the ground up: booking, delivery, email funnels, and client management. A workflow built for high-volume conferences, the way I like to run them.

GreenBiz was my third conference using my new system. After shooting about 15 conferences last year, seeing something I built out work exactly how I imagined has been one of the most rewarding moments of my career.

I never thought I’d be the guy building a tech stack that uses automations and integrations with tools like Make, N8N, , , , , and the API… but here we are.

If anyone is rebuilding after a hard season, or questioning if you can do it on your own: it can be done! You can build something solid. You can do it your way. And you can come back cleaner and more in control than before.

Huge thank you to and everyone who stopped by my booth at GreenBiz 26.

And if you’re organizing a conference and want a headshot booth your attendees will line up for, send me a message. I’d love to chat.

I love seeing so many different breeds of dogs at Scottsdale Waterfront. Like this Chihuahua and Boston Terrier. I’d love to work with you and your pets if you’re in AZ!
