Well, for the first time in over 8 months, I finally got to see my favorite (and only) brother, Riley! He had a 3 hour layover in Phoenix, while traveling from Vancouver, and I was able to go pick him up and grab some lunch in Tempe. I miss him every day, and can't wait until I'm able to see him again!

The epic birthday weekend of Chloe's continues! We decided to spend a good part of the day at the pool, and I was able to do my first ever front and back flip in the pool! Yes, I'm a bit old for this milestone, but it's never too late to front flip! Thanks to my awesome GoPro Hero 3+ I was able to capture this beautiful video in super slow motion! 120fps!!

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Sneha and Heemesh Seth's amazing family. Our shoot started out with just Sneha, Heemesh, and their 2 young daughters. What made this shoot extra special is as we progressed, more family members were able to show up, and soon we had multiple generations of their family taking part. It was great to get to see the young girls interact with their grandparents, and them taking so much joy in the experience. Here are a few photos from the shoot. Enjoy!
I would also like to thank Sneha especially, because she has referred more friends to me than anyone I have ever photographed!

Exciting news! Hot off the press! I've started a VLOG (Video Blog). This VLOG will be located on my YouTube channel, and is more of a look into my daily life. I got the idea to do it after watching a few other YouTubers vlogging their daily lives and it kind of seemed interesting to me. I'm setting out to do this with Chloe my lovely girlfriend, not to get YouTube famous or anything like that. The sole purpose we've started to VLOG is because it is forcing us to get out and do more exciting things with our lives. Our first episode if you want to call it that, got us out on a picnic down at the Tempe Town Lake. Which, due to the excessive Phoenix summer heat wasn't our best idea, and didn't last all that long, but it was something we've never done before. I know, I've never taken my girlfriend of almost 4 years on a picnic! *shame shame* Besides getting out and living a more interesting life, it also allows us to give our friends and family who primarily all live in the Midwest United States, a look into what we've been up to. Our parents appreciate this the most since we've just moved out here a year ago and we don't get to see them and talk to them everyday like we used to. Not to mention we are learning a lot more about our new city! Another good reason to do this, for me at least, is it has gotten me more familiar with programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro CC and After Effects. I haven't used these video editing platforms before because I have primarily been a stills only photographer. This is helping expand my skill set as well as get me using my camera in a way I'm not used to. Yes filming video has a whole new set of rules and parameters I'm just getting a taste of. Though I should also mention the main chunk of these VLOGs are shot with my iPhone 5. But I am sprinkling in some higher end shots done with the GoPro Hero 3+ (super slow motion, 120fps in our 4th of July VLOG was pretty beastly!), as well as my professional DSLR, the Canon 6D.
I'm sure as this VLOG progresses I will upgrade from using my iPhone to maybe a nicer point and shoot camera with nice 1080 video. The main reason I don't use my GoPro which provides excellent video quality is because the audio quality is absolute garbage, and the iPhone actually provides decent audio. Another thing to note though is this isn't about the gear at all. These VLOGs are not high quality productions. They are meant to be about the content, the fun loving experience of living life. Sort of run and gun. I would be very appreciative if you could head over to my YouTube channel and check out our series of VLOGs so far as well as please SUBSCRIBE if you like what you see.
Here's our first few VLOGs for you to check out :)
If you happen to be up and going around 5:30 in the morning Monday - Friday and out on the trails of the Dreamy Draw Mountain Preserve, you'll probably come across a group of extremely dedicated boot campers......

You can read his full blog post as well as see all kinds of behind the scenes photos and detail here (click the link). In this awesome short video Clint Davis shows what it takes to stand out when sending mailers to agencies, especially when hundreds of mailers hit their desk!
Read MoreAfter one of the busiest months I've had in my career, I had a few days of downtime before more scheduled shoots. So I decided to finally put together a small product shoot I had wanted to do for quite some time. The plan for this shoot was long in the works, but the time to do so didn't exist.....

If you actually use twitter via a computer then you might have noticed the new look they're implementing to your profile section.
The folks over at NSMB have outdone themselves with this hilarious "edit". Find out what combo's of cliché clips can make your edit SICK! Funny enough I have seen so many outdoor action sports videos formulated with many of these styles of clips. I now present the feature flick, "How to Make a Sick Mountain Bike Edit"

It only took me about a year of living in Arizona to make my first trip to Sedona, AZ.... I've not yet been to the Grand Canyon, but from what people had told me prior to my visit to Sedona, was that Sedona was much more magnificent than the big hole in the Earth we have come to love (Grand Canyon)....

When it comes to maternity photos I'm not the expert. I'll start off with saying that much. Maybe because I'm a guy and have never been pregnant...(not possible I know, unless you've seen that movie where Arnold Schwarzenegger becomes pregnant, which is very improbable. Maybe a side effect of steroids.) Ok lets start over. That was an awkward introduction to this post. I enjoy doing maternity shoots because there is a real connection between the mother to be and her unborn child, a connection so strong you can feel the emotion through a photograph. So, when Cherie contacted me about doing her maternity shoot and told me the location she wanted I knew I needed to do something different. Of course the Scottsdale Civic Center park is one of the hot spots for local photographers around town, it's so overdone that I needed to do something different here. Especially since the LOVE sculpture by Robert Indiana is the most over photographed thing in the park. Here's what I came up with.

Lucky for me that day the fountains were turned off due to maintenance allowing for a clean reflection in the foreground water!
When Cherie requested this location I knew she would also request a photo with the LOVE statue by Robert Indiana. The two go hand in hand. But, I wasn't just going to plop her right in front, I needed the focus to be on her, after all that's why we were there! So we walked around a little bit and I decided to put her on the opposite side of the fountains from me in hopes i could get a nice reflection of her and the statue in the water. The stars aligned and I came out with a totally unique photo from a non unique location!
Here are a few more photos from the session, by the time of me writing this Cherie will have had her baby. Best wishes to both of them!
