Novo Studio 20 Year Anniversary | Arkansas Commercial Photography and Video Production

Every year, the good folks at Linked In remind of my work anniversary. And every year, I am pleasantly surprised at how much time has gone by since I started this little photo + video company. What started in 2006 as a "next step" after leaving the confines of my corporate cubicle has become my full time job, my career and without a doubt, a huge part of my life. This year marks the 20th year of Novo Studio.

And so this year, we celebrate.

All year.

Cheers.

Holiday Hibernation | Arkansas Commercial Photography

After a crazy busy year of work plus the added drama of losing a parent and undergoing a surgery to repair an umbilical hernia, I think it's safe to say that I need to slow down for awhile.

Happy Holidays, See you in the New Year.

A Year Later / 2024 Rogers Arkansas Tornado

"Well, it's been a year." For many, it's probably been the longest year of their lives. Some have spent the year trying to find some normalcy while they've lived with friends, or family or out of hotels. Almost everyone had to deal with insurance companies and for some, that was a big struggle. Some people got some upgrades to their homes while others chose to or were forced to abandon their homes (or what was left of them) altogether. Business were effected or in some cases, obliterated. And overall, the landscape still looks battered and tired. Whatever your personal experience was with last year's tornados, it's safe to assume that people are still, even after a full year later, "dealing with it." And so here are a few photos to sum up the above words. For timing context, please note that most of these photos were taken on June 3rd, 2025...a little over a year after the tornado.

From My Window Seat | Arkansas Commercial Photography

Like most people, I enjoy traveling for work. I think that the change in routine, combined with a little stress and some distance from an ongoing “to do” list does wonders for one’s mind, body and soul. The sad reality though, is that I don’t often have a lot of downtime to get out and explore the areas where I travel. So I do what I can, which is usually snap photos from a moving vehicle. Photographing from a moving vehicle is challenging and also, very efficient. You can really see a lot of interesting things in a short amount of time in a vehicle. And if you’re not tasked with driving, you can completely focus on the world moving by your window. The following photos were taken late last year and early this year during work trips to Philadelphia and New York.
