Confession: Photographing Dawn always makes me nervous. And it’s because she was one of my first clients, my first cheerleader, supporter… I’ve been photographing her for the last 8 years, and in the back of my mind, I think “what if she doesn’t like her photos this time?” And that even happened once. And the …
Last month I got to photograph the cover for Out Front's Pride & Summer Guide. I love working with Out Front magazine, and this shoot was no different there. The only challenge was that the creative direction I got was "Retro Summery Poolside" and it rained for the entire month of May. There was no …
A couple months ago, Loveland's Thompson School District commissioned photographs to hang in their boardroom.
