I recently spent several hours with Colbi and her husband, Sean, photographing them for my stock portfolio. In addition to those more commercial images, we shot a few portraits at the end of our session. I’ll post some of the stock shots once I’m finished editing, but here is one of the portraits of Colbi I especially liked.
Several months ago, I scheduled a shoot with Lauren, who in addition to being a runner-up for Miss Arizona earlier this year is also a former high school cheerleader. I have been working on a series of images of athletes and artists doing their thing and persuaded Lauren at the end of our shoot to demonstrate some of her signature moves. It turns out that in addition to being lovely, she is incredibly athletic. Here is one of the images from that shoot:
A couple of months ago I collaborated with the beautiful and talented Jennifer Berk to get some images for both of our portfolios. Jennifer is a former pro tennis player who is making the transition into modeling and recently signed with one of the top sports modeling agencies in the country. Here are a couple of images from our session:

I spent a long day in the studio yesterday doing some stock and portrait work and ended the day by having some fun with my friend Kalynne and a new acquaintance, Toby. I have a lot of editing yet to do on the hundreds of images we made, but here is a quick look at one. Toby has a gun in his hand (don’t worry – it was a mock Beretta) and many of the images have the gun in frame, which obviously gives the photograph a much more ominous feel. And this one, with the sharp contrast between the light and dark sections of the image, could be seen the same way. But to me, it also has a sense of longing or even heartbreak. I’m not sure, though. What do you think?
I spent part of the day on Saturday at a lighting workshop in Phoenix and had the opportunity to photograph these two beautiful models. Meet Gwen and Ginalyn.

I recently did the first of the shoots for a new series of photographs I’m producing for my portfolio. I persuaded the ever game Kalynne to come out at dawn for that shoot and after we finished, spent another half an hour with her shooting some fun images near one of the ubiquitous irrigation canals in Phoenix. I’m keeping the images from the first part of the shoot under wraps for the time being, but here are a few from Part II.
I recently was invited by Celestial Williams, a talented Phoenix-based make-up artist, to shoot one of the prelude shows for the upcoming Phoenix Fashion Week, of which she is also an organizer. The show – which was held at Arizona State University’s student rec complex in front of a large, rambunctious crowd of students who had just returned from summer vacation – featured designs by a number of up and coming Phoenix clothing designers. Here are a few of the images:
