Say hello to the the fine craftsman at the company, Assemblage. Nestled in the beautiful hills of Madison County, this small company hand-crafts (in their own words), "bespoke wall coverings" for a wide range of high-end clients. I had the opportunity to hang out at their workspace, an older but renovated rural factory building and photograph them for Arkansas Made Magazine. Here's a few of my favorite images. Enjoy. 

This is my first post in awhile, thanks to busy season. I'm hoping to catch up on the blog as well as update my own website as well. Today though, I'm sharing a few images that I created for Marlon Blackwell's new website. (Site Design by Doxa) Enjoy. 

I recently had the opportunity to collaborate once again with the crew from Red Barn Studio Live Sessions. The lineup during this year's Fayetteville Roots Festival featured a unique mix of music styles and personalities. The first video from the series was released today and features Iron and Wine. Give it a watch or a listen or preferably, both. Long live singer/songwriter rock and roll. 

Congratulations and Best Wishes to Nick and Alyssa. These two were married this past weekend in beautiful ceremony full of family and friends and hand-made (by the bride) details. Here's a few images from their celebration. Enjoy. 

Congratulations and Best Wishes to Wes and Sarah. Their beautiful wedding a couple weekends ago and I just finished with their photos this week. Here's a few of my favorites. Cheers!

The historic downtown areas of Northwest Arkansas are alive with revitalization and growth. And thanks to the wonderful people at Highstreet Development and Stronghold NWA, a rather large building in downtown Rogers is poised to be a huge part of that process. Formerly known as "The Dollar Saver Building, the large structure is in the process of being gutted, cleaned out and outfitted for a number of retail and living spaces. A large portion of the building is slated to be the new home of Onyx Coffee's production and day-to-day operations while also housing a coffee shop. There are also rumors of an upscale restaurant, a bakery, a craft cocktail bar and loft apartments being planned for the structure. I was hired by Highstreet Development to photograph the building in its current state. Enjoy the tour. 

I am very drawn to the culinary world, simply because the process, and the artistic vision behind it is fascinating to me. So it was fun for me to have the opportunity to hang out with and photograph Chef Matt Cooper of The Preacher's Son. Wow, what a nice guy. I thoroughly enjoyed following him around the local farm as he literally picked the ingredients for a delicious salad, the recipe of which is soon to follow in the upcoming issue of Food and Farm Magazine. And when all was said and done, Matt let my try the salad...and I couldn't stop eating it. 

It's a big day for Visit Rogers. After months of hard work, they officially launched their brand new website today. I've been a longtime Rogers resident and I was excited to be a part of the process, creating imagery of life in and around Rogers. Here's a few images from the project. Enjoy!

After a crazy busy wedding and engagement season last summer, I was excited to be back at the Fayetteville Roots Festival this year. In collaboration with the wonderful guys from Red Barn Studio Live Sessions, I helped to create live session music videos for the likes of John Paul White, John Fulbright, Iron and Wine and Nick Offerman to name a few. Here's a few behind the scenes photos from the weekend. Enjoy. 

Here's a few pics from the solar eclipse today. Enjoy!

It's been a crazy couple of weeks with weeklong photoshoots and a weeklong beach vacation. But I still had plenty of time to relive Adam and Andria's beautiful Garden Room wedding. Here's a few images from their celebration. Enjoy!

I recently had the opportunity to work on the new cycling jersey design for FAST Kids. And last night, I was able to meet up with them and grab some photos of them rocking their new jerseys during their weekly ride. Thanks for letting me join in the fun!

Today on the blog...a few of my favorite images from a recent evening with Troy and Marian. Tennis anyone? 

Today on the blog: A few photos celebrating Adam and Andria, their upcoming wedding, and of course, their super photogenic fur babies. Enjoy. 

Many know Scott Schroen (Shh-rain) as a tall, lanky mountain biking machine. As the General Manager of Phat Tire Bike Shop, it's true that he spends most of his time working in the cycling world. What you may not know about Scott though, is that he loves (and is equally talented at) wood working. And lately, he's been balancing out the stresses of work and life by quietly designing and building high quality wood furniture out of his well-equipped garage/workshop. His most popular product is the Ozark Chair which features the state of Arkansas in the design of the chair, beautifully carved out of wood and perfect for porch or lawn sit'n. 

I recently had the opportunity to hang out with Scott for a bit and to document some of the building process for Arkansas Wild Magazine. Scroll down to see a few of my favorite images from my afternoon with him as well as information on Scott's wood-working business, Timbernak Designs. 

Today on the blog, I'm excited to share some images from Jeffery and Shelby's wedding. It's been fun getting to know them better throughout the whole process and their celebration at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks was definitely one for the books. Literally. To date, I had never had a bride and groom get soaking wet dancing in the rain together and I had also never had a groom (or anyone for that matter) do their first dance with an Evil Knievel motorcycle helmet. Thanks to Jeff and Shelby, I can add both of those to my "this actually happened at a wedding" list. Also, thanks to Melissa Holmes of Sweet Tea Designs who somehow, manages to keep everything and everyone in good order during every wedding I work with her. (It's because she's a rockstar) 

Cheers and enjoy the sneak peek!

I recently had the opportunity to work on a project for Cycling Illustrated Magazine, OZ Trails NWA and Laneshift Mobility.  The project features legendary mountain bike racer Brian Lopes and his first trip to the area. I had the honor and privilege of spending a couple days with Him, along with Andre Pepin of Ellsworth Bikes and locals Clayton Woodruff of Progressive Trail Designs and Dustin Slaughter of Slaughter Trail Guides. It was a unique opportunity for me to not only witness first-hand some of the best mountain biking I've ever seen, but also to create images of it. Many many thanks to everyone for letting me be a part of the adventure. Enjoy the images and the link to the video. Cheers!

Happy Happy Monday to you all. Today, I'm posting a few photos of these two love birds. I had the privilege of meeting of them last weekend for their engagement photos. We spent some time in the good city of Fayetteville while sharing stories and laughs. Here's a few of my favorite images from the evening. Enjoy. 

Congratulations to Jeff and Sarah who were married over the weekend in what I can only describe, as the worst wedding day weather I've encountered in over 10 years of photographing weddings. But that didn't stop them from riding a trolley all over downtown and stopping off for photos. Here's a few from their celebration. Enjoy!
