Hannah on Fire
Hannah Lee setting the studio on fire in another favorite from our January shoot. Hannah really knows how to move and pose herself to the point she needs little to no direction. She makes it super easy to get compelling images during a session.

Ethereal Annsley
Annsley Wood looking lovely and ethereal in this image from our shoot at the end of last summer. The late afternoon sun was truly on our side this afternoon as it was setting behind her at camera left. A silver reflector was used at camera right to provide some fill and add that spark to Annsley’s eyes.

Angel with a Blue Dress
Calli Carroll wanted to get some images of her senior prom dress so of course I was happy to shoot these for her. Turned out to be quite a lovely and elegant dress which looked amazing on her.

Striking Saniya
The striking Saniya Allen working the space in front of my lens during Ashley Hylbert’s workshop last year. Saniya’s appeared in my feed before but I think it’s obvious why I keep coming back to this collection of her images for content.

A Mecca Moment
Looking back at 2020 with one of the positive things that came out of a crazy year, my shoot with Mecca in Santa fe. This shoot was a fun exploration of the downtown area in Santa Fe and this doorway was one of the many treasures we found during that afternoon.

Connection with Becca
I love this shot of Becca from our shoot back in January. This image really stands out for me with that great connection she has to the viewer here. The setup is pretty simple but it helps keep the focus on the subject, which of course is the point! It was such a great time working with you, Becca!

Birthday Fun Shoot!
A favorite from this young lady’s birthday session this past weekend. This shot offers just a small window into what a great time we had with her and her family. There were a lot of smiles and laughs on this evening and she just crushed her photos. Of course it doesn’t hurt that she’s one of my favorite subject‘s little sister. He was on hand to coach her but I’m not sure she needed it!
