Over the weekend I did a portfolio shoot with a friend who performs with CONDER/dance, a contemporary dance company in Phoenix. I was amazed both by her gracefulness and by her athleticism. One moment she was jumping to what felt like NBA level altitudes and in the next she was in complete repose. I read a recent article in which a photographer said that one of the reasons he loves his job is because it allows him to hang out with amazing people who do incredible things. I feel exactly the same way.

Workshop
Old Friends | Arizona Family Photographer
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:

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.

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.
