Several years ago, my friend Kimo and I, on the spur of the moment, drove up to Lone Pine, California and hiked to the top of Mt. Whitney and back in a day. He was very patient with me, but essentially hiked me into the ground. He now has a clutch of mini-hikers that he is trying to train in the ways of the outdoorsman. They arrived in Phoenix yesterday for the Thanksgiving break and I had a chance to photograph them at a nearby park this morning. Here are three of the five minis:

Seven kids, all as sweet and fun as they are cute. After spending so much of my early career in the cutthroat and confrontational world of Wall Street, it is a joy and a privilege to spend my days photographing families like this one.

I had the chance to photograph a couple of beautiful children while on a recent trip to New England. I love these images, because they capture the kids before they start posing for the camera. As a result the photographs have a feeling of spontaneity and authenticity. It feels like we’re seeing the children as they really are.

Over the weekend I met a few teenage friends at a local skate park to get some images of them doing their thing. Given the insanity of some of the tricks in their repetoire, I was a little nervous about the absence of protective gear, but all turned out well. A couple of scrapes and bruises, but no broken bones. Meet Dallin, Devon, Jared, Cooper and Alec.

Meet the scholars of Boys Hope Girls Hope of Arizona. BHGH finds academically capable, motivated kids, who have financial and other obstacles to their educations, and offers them, without charge, the opportunity for a comprehensive learning experience. The kids are offered scholarships at the best private schools in Phoenix, as well as counseling, medical care, personal growth opportunities and, eventually, college counseling and assistance with college tuition. Since 1989 when the Phoenix branch of BHGH was founded, every single kid that has graduated from the Arizona program has been admitted to college. They are often the first in their family to go. Schools they have attended include Arizona State University, Colgate, Dartmouth, Gonzaga, Pepperdine and others. It is an amazing, amazing program. Here are some of the current BHGH scholars:

We just got back from a quick escape to Utah, where the daily high and low temperatures were at least 20 degrees below the inferno we left behind in Arizona. It was nice to be able to work outside again without having to worry about heat stroke. I took advantage of the beautiful weather and shot a bunch of images of my nieces and nephew, who generously indulged me. They are sweet, beautiful children and it was fun to spend a couple of hours photographing them. Here are a few of the resulting images:
