I recently had the opportunity to collaborate with some talented folks who turned turned ordinary triscuits into delicious (yes, I’m speaking from experience) hors d'oeuvres. The resulting images and recipes will be appearing very soon on in-store signage in Walmart and Sam’s Club Stores across the country. Getcha some!

Today on the blog, Brian and Allison, a little bit of fall foliage and a whole lotta love.

Happy Friday Everyone.

I recently had the opportunity to visit with and photograph artist Linda Lopez for an upcoming issue of Arkansas Made Magazine. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I am always inspired when I have the opportunity to watch and learn from artists working in other mediums. And I don’t think this revelation is limited to just artists, either. So no matter what line of work you’re in, take this little blurb, run with it and go learn something about someone else’s line of work. Cheers.

It was lots of fun spending the afternoon with these two. Thankfully, our blatant trespassing went unseen and unprosecuted. You only live once. Happy Weekend y’all.

Inevitably, I create more images than I have time to post here on the blog. So this post is dedicated to headshots/portraits that I’ve made over the last few months. Protip: If you own a Toyota Landcruiser, you should definitely use it in your headshots. Enjoy.

It never ceases to amaze me the local talent I discover as a working photographer. One of my recent photo shoots for Arkansas Made Magazine led me to Springdale, Arkansas where Shirepost Mint has been making custom fantasy coins since 2001. I had a blast touring their facility, hearing the story of how their business started and how it grew to receive national and worldwide attention. Enjoy the images and be sure to look for the article in the upcoming issue of Arkansas Made Magazine.

The stoke was gnar and the shred was high and the sendys were amped with more stoke and gnar and everyone was braaaaaaaap’n wet but excited to be watching the Red Bull Pumptrack World Championships at the new Runway Bike Park in Springdale, Arkansas. Here’s a few photos from the event. Enjoy.

Fayetteville Arkansas knows how to throw a good party. (And not just of the college variety) Case in point, their First Thursday events that happen every first Thursday of the month during the warmer seasons in Arkansas. Their last one for the year was last week and I had the opportunity to attend it and photograph it. They also debuted their new Veoride Bike Share Program, making the city even more bike-friendly (which I didn’t think was possible). Party on, Fayetteville.

Lake Atalanta is special to me because I live and work in such close proximity to the park, that I am there almost everyday, either running or riding my bike on the trails. I recently had the opportunity to create some abstract imagery of the area for a proposed art installation and I had a blast doing it. Here’s a few of my favorites. Enjoy.

Two Four Hell, an endurance rock climbing event known to rock climbers all over the country (and the world) and held in the sleepy little town of Jasper, Arkansas, may very well be…

Oh what fun I had on this little photoshoot. For those of you who know me best, you’ll know that I have a certain affinity for books so I can certainly appreciate someone like Lesha of Little Mountain Bindery, who has dedicated her life to pursuing the craft of creating and preserving them. What I didn’t expect to discover, is…

It is an honor to have another photographer entrust you with photographing their wedding…

After a busy few weeks, I’m finally catching up here on the blog. Today, I’m sharing a few images from my week at Camp Ozark. Enjoy.

Last week, I spent some time at the legendary Gaston's White River Resort. In honor of their 60 year Anniversary, Arkansas Wild is doing a feature on the resort, it's history and it's owner/operator, Clint Gaston. Here's a few of my favorite images from the trip. Enjoy. 

The Fayetteville Public Library recently kicked off its future expansion project by honoring the existing structure on the property. With plans to expand the library onto the property, the building which for many years was the city's hospital, had to go. But not before it was celebrated and remembered for what it was to so many people for so many years. Of course this sort of event also means that we all had the opportunity to watch some big heavy machinery in action. Way to go Fayetteville, your library is definitely a prime example of what other libraries should aspire to become. 

In the midst of a hectic travel schedule, I somehow found the time to slow down and enjoy the journey. Here's a few images from my recent travels. Enjoy.

Over the course of the last 2 years, I've been working with Visit Rogers to create a library of imagery that they can use to market our beautiful town to the locals and the visitors alike. I recently had the opportunity to tag along on a video shoot and create a few new still images. And of course, that meant sampling some delicious food and drink as well. Based on my "market research", I highly recommend the following: Cooking Studio of Downtown Rogers, Levi's, Bocca, Ozark Beer Company, Iron Horse Coffee Company, and if you like food trucks, City Pump. But please...don't take my word for it, try them yourself!

Meet Monty, owner and operator of Crybox Fitness Studio. Crybox Studio provides private personal training and fitness lifestyle coaching to serve the needs of all types of clients. Monty utilizes his 20+ years of past business experience with his clients to help them set time-bound goals that are safe, measurable, reasonable and realistic. I recently had the opportunity to create a few images of Monty and the studio to coincide with a website revamp. Here's a few of my favorites. Enjoy. 

When an awesome bank and its awesome marketing agency hire you to photograph landscapes and community imagery for marketing purposes, you make the most of it and have fun in the process. For me, that meant road tripping, truck camping, exploring small towns and taking some time to sit by the water and watch sunrises and sunsets. Thanks to The Twiggs Group & Grand Savings Bank for sending me on this work trip that didn't feel like a work trip at all. 

Today on the blog: A few images from Arkansas Food & Farm Magazine showcasing the digs and deliciousness at Oven & Tap Restaurant. Cheers!
