Baby Portraits

It's been nearly three years since we photographed Susan and Eugene's wedding, and they recently invited us into their home to photograph their adorable 3-month-old baby Ethan! I brought my studio lights and backdrop and set up in their living room. We had a good time catching up with each other and keeping little Ethan entertained.

Wedding Portrait Session at Regale at DC Ranch

We recently photographed another mock wedding session at Regale at DC Ranch in Scottsdale. It seems we discover new photo opportunities every time we go there. The sunset and evening lighting made for some very dramatic portraits! We can't wait to photograph our first wedding at this new venue. Special thanks to Alli Mandoske of Life Through a Lens Photography for providing models Susan and Allan!

Here is just a small selection from the project. The artists, from top to bottom, are: Penny Dickinson, Michele Coletti, Kathryn Guler, Gail Finney, Dolly Ahles, Diane Sepanski, Diane Rogers, Anita Farrah, Kiersten Kern, Diane Sepanski, Penny Dickinson, Michele Coletti, and Gail Finney.

What? Is There Something in my Hair?

Amanda and I seem to have a knack for finding these little guys at the tops of mountain peaks every summer. The ladybugs swarm all over tree trunks, branches, and even radio towers. We found this particular group after a mile hike to the top of Madera Peak, in the Pinal Mountains just outside Globe. I love the way they tucked themselves into the bark of alligator juniper trees.

New Work by Artist Margaret Gordon

Margaret Gordon works with a variety of mixed media to create truly unique jewelry. Some of my favorite pieces are her beaded corncobs, which combine colorful "Indian" corn, intricately woven seed beads, and both modern and antique glass. Here are a couple of her latest designs.

GPS and Digital Frame Product Photography

Here are a couple of products I photographed in the studio for a client's marketing campaign. Each of these images required multiple exposures to capture the right lighting balance for the product, reflection, and LED screen.

Jewelry Photography for Metal Heads / Feats of Clay Postcard

These are some jewelry images I recently shot for a postcard project for the group Metal Heads/Feats of Clay, the Phoenix chapter of the PMC Guild. Members of the this group specialize in jewelry made with silver clay (precious metal clay). As you can see, they have achieved some beautiful results with their talents! The pieces, from top to bottom, were created by Diane Sepanski, Donna Lewis, Gretchen Olberding, Cindi Shaffer, Lynn A. Strolin, Tina Christie, and Florence Coleman.
