It was time for a Personal Branding shoot with Kelly Autry recently. We had been discussing getting her some new headshots and product shots done for her new website that will be launching soon.

Lately I’ve been really looking deep into my work to find what it is that I truly love about being a portrait photographer. I suppose every Artist goes through this at one point or another. But when I look back over the work of this year, it is this image that hits the mark for...

I love photographing Headshots out on location! Sheryl called the studio looking for portraits of herself for her new website. She’s a nutrition coach and she needed some nice headshots that showed off her and her style. This is when the creativity starts to flow for me as a photographer. When I get to know...
When I woke up one morning last week in the mountains of Arizona, I had no idea that it was going to be a day that I made portrait that I was going to truly fall in love with. Of course, I hope everyday is that. But, I’m usually striving to capture an image that...
Recently I got to photograph the talented musician and singer, Sophia Marie Humbert of Anthem, Arizona. We did the photo shoot at the very cool Janey’s Coffeeshop in Cave Creek for this month’s issue of ImagesAZ magazine. It all started when I went to my daughter’s “Night of the Arts” at her school, Gavilan Peak....

Growing up surrounded by the arts in Chicago taught me the power of creative process and authentic storytelling. Photographing artists like renowned Kathleen Hope is where my heart sits.
Capturing Kathleen’s time in her studio was truly inspiring. Her bold, textural cement-based pieces don’t just fill a gallery—they bring a vibrant energy wherever they reside. Watching her layer pigment, marble dust, and plaster with such intentionality affirmed just how much story and emotion lives behind each of her finished works.
Every artist I photograph reminds me why I love what I do. Thank you, Kathleen, for letting me tell your story through my lens!

When magic strikes, you feel it!
Photographing Author, Michael Blake on a ranch in Rio Verde was one of those moments where everything fell into place naturally. Michael shared his stories of working with John Ford on the sets of old Western films—an experience that shaped the course of his life and inspired his new book. Together, we aimed to capture his love for the West in a way that’s both authentic and timeless.
Seeing his portraits on the covers of all three issues of Images Arizona magazine that month is such an honor. Grateful to be a part of telling his story through my lens. 📸

Throwback to a cover shoot with Dan D’Agostino and his wife Petra for Images Arizona. Few can say they design the world’s finest amplifiers, handmade right here in Cave Creek.
I definitely have some Arizona pride for their artistry and craftsmanship in their pursuit of pure sound. Amazing amplifiers creating insane sound for this music lover.
