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!⁠

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.
