It's always fun shooting with families from out of state, and want to capture the beauty of Arizona. The Superstition Mountains are always a great option.

A few shots from Quanzel and Jhordan's engagement session! Minus the bugs, it was much fun shooting with these two.

Surprise engagements are the best! It's always fun planning it out prior to the session (I always have a particular codeword/phrase so I know when it's going to happen), and then you get reactions like this.

Congrats Brittany and Dan!

A few images from a recent family session. This park is pretty popular due to this little section of cacti. To get a location with lots of cacti, you have to drive a little further out (30-40 minutes), but this local park provides a nice background without the drive. I'm always happy to suggest locations when you book your session, and always out scouting new and unique places!

Many of you may not know, but one of my favorite things to photograph is abandoned/derelict/ forgotten buildings. I generally keep that work separate from my portrait work, as the two just don't really mix lol.

However, I'm going to take this chance to showcase that side a little bit, as I'm excited to announce that my second published photography book from Fonthill Publishing, "Abandoned Arizona: Secrets of the Desert" will be released next month! This book focused on abandoned places in Arizona that I've captured over the last 4.5 years of living here. My previous book detailed locations in Virginia over about a 8 year span.

If you're interested in purchasing a copy, I'm currently accepting pre-orders. Click on my website below your pre-order copy today. You can even purchase copies of my Abandoned Virginia: Forgotten In Time book as well.

First post of 2023! Lots going on already, and the calendar is starting to fill up for Spring. Sharing these photos from the last family session I did last year. They were traveling from Alaska, and wanted to capture some of the beautiful landscape of Arizona. At the end, we were lucky enough to get a few final shots with a gorgeous sunset.

I shot my last session of 2022 yesterday, and what a year it's been. This past year was busy with hundreds of clients for headshots, seniors, engagements, weddings and portraits in general but I also had some other really cool stuff happen.

I licensed some of my images to the Town of Gilbert to use in their marketing campaigns, and several companies commissioned prints for their office, including one business that bought all new work to update their entire office (2 floors) including a massive 9ft inspiration wall when you enter the building (photos of that coming soon).

For my last post of 2022, here are a few images from a recent session with Kate and Bear. I've been working with them for 3 years now since Bear was a puppy, and more interested in his squeaky toy than photos. He's gotten so much better in front of the camera and it's always so much fun working with them.

I hope you all have a safe NYE!
