As a photographer, our goal is always to be improving our craft. To do this we need to constantly push ourselves beyond our comfort zone, test new things, and just practice! This is why regular personal shoots are a must.
Read MoreAbout a year ago, Chloe relocated to the MetLife Tempe office and started working for a financial advisor named Gus Dekavallas. Gus is one of the nicest, most interesting people I've ever met. To name a few of his accolades: - He was drafted to play professional baseball for this team you've probably never heard of... the San Fransisco Giants.

As much as I'd like to take all the credit for this amazing shoot, I could not have created these photos without Chloe! Now when I say Chloe, I mean our amazing model / senior Chloe. But, I must also thank my girlfriend/assistant Chloe as well for her help as always! The dual Chloe's made it difficult to give direction at some points during the shoot, but I think it also helped lighten the mood and add some humor.

This post is long overdue! The Culver Academy senior class of 2015 graduates in less than 4 days! But, I am finally posting about my shoot with Spencer from back in the fall. A little bit about our shoot. It was early. It was very cold. It was windy. And, it was awesome! Spencer was a rockstar. He didn't complain about the cold or having to be up before the sun a single time. I still remember the first time I met Spencer.

As I continue to push myself to become a better photographer I continuously set new goals. This year, a major goal I set for myself was to photograph more of what I wanted to shoot commercially. This meant more personal projects revolving around adventuring, lifestyle, sports and fitness.

This is especially true in our digital age, where your first impression will often times be from an online profile. So, I was thrilled when Dave asked me to give his headshots an update!
Read MoreI've had the pleasure of working with the MayesTelles Law Firm previously. All the attorneys working there are extremely friendly, and fun to work with.

Read MoreIf you ask me my favorite restaurant in all of Arizona, it's such an easy answer. I'll tell you The Roaring Fork. Which is why, I actually did a lap around my apartment in excitement after I got an email asking me to photograph their executive chef, Santiago Estrada. BOOM!

Zach’s senior session ended a bit differently than we would have planned. Although, it definitely added a bit of extra excitement into the day. We met up with Zach Saturday morning, about an hour or so after the sun had risen. Not ideal, but not horrible lighting either. Especially since I was no longer shooting in the desert, where full tree’s seem to be as mythical as big foot......

Read MoreA few weeks ago I released mine and Chloe’s christmas photo, or as I like to describe it as, the EPIC christmas card of 2014. It’s definitely more out there, and a lot better executed than last year’s photo we did. I'd say it is much more artistic, and clean. I wanted to do something on par with John Keatley’s christmas photo series.
