Big news. Guess you’ll have to click here.

Another year has gone flowing by.

The older I get, the more that time starts to feel less like a line and more like a river.

I'm usually a pretty solitary person and am not a fan of extra attention, but a little press never hurts, right?

If you have a minute, check out the Q&A I have over on the Fulbright REVIEW, the official blog of the Fulbright College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Arkansas, of which I'm an alumnus.

Hello everyone! Just a note to say that, for the first time in a few years, I have a gallery show hanging! Entitled "Same Same But Different," it will be open to the public from 10am-5pm, Monday through Friday, at the Anne Kittrell Gallery in the University of Arkansas Student Union, until the end of September.

One of the most delicious places I’ve eaten in Arkansas is The Hive, the restaurant inside the 21c Museum Hotel in Bentonville. The head chef, Matt McClure, is a real class act on top of being an amazing chef. I was excited when I got contacted by their marketing department about creating some images for the restaurant shortly after my son was born earlier this year. You know, when restaurants were still open like they used to be. In the pre-Covid times.

As a lifelong introvert, one of my favorite situations as a portrait photographer is when I get to work with someone one on one and actually get to spend a little time getting to know them. It’s much more fulfilling for me than working with a crowd or even just a larger group of people. And one of the best ways to get to do that is by doing high school senior portraits.

Well, folks, this isn’t how I expected it to turn out. There was going to be a party.

Here’s a photo of a sad me alone in my birthday suit at a not-a-party to prove it.

On this day ten years ago, I marched my almost-college-graduate butt down to the county courthouse and filed the first paperwork to become an official business in Arkansas.

You may have wondered why I haven't taken the time to update this blog for a few months. The answer? I had a baby. And it turns out that in the months leading up to and immediately after the birth of a child, you're a little busy.

If you know me, you know I'm not a fan of our addiction to fossil fuels. So, unsurprisingly, this gig presented an opportunity for some moral introspection.

Every time I get an email from a musician asking about portraits, I get excited. With Tomoko and Miho, it wasn't any different. They play with the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas and other groups around town…

If you've been in Northwest Arkansas long, the chances are high that you've been at an event where Ben Harris has been playing. I see him playing at places like Crystal Bridges Museum all the time.

Whenever I'm contacted about senior portraits, one of my first questions is this: "What does this kid like to do?" Hayley's mom said she was into archery.

Since 2010 or so, I've been a sponsor of the Cow Paddy Run. A 5K and 1K fun run family event, the race originated sometime in the late 80s or 90s, when I was a little kid, to help fund the creation of Gulley Park in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It went away, eventually, but was resurrected by some of my friends in 2010 as a charity event to give back to our area's public schools.

One of my regular projects is to shoot the main story images for the Butterfield Trail Village magazine called Butterfield LIFE. For the most recent issue, it was Dorothy Mitchelson, a resilient holocaust survivor with a wonderful smile.

Back in January, I had the pleasure, again, of creating images for SoNA, the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas. I've done shoots for them a few times in the past, and it's always pleasing when a previous client calls up again for some more images.

Stephen Coger, a small-town-Arkansas native, moved to Fayetteville to attend the university. During his tenure there, he evolved into a social activist that constantly, and exhaustingly, started trying to do his best to help people who were in less fortunate situations than him. A fluent Spanish speaker due to where he grew up, and a mom who was a paralegal for decades, it’s no surprise that he started working at Legal Aid of Arkansas, an organization providing legal assistance to people who wouldn’t normally be able to afford such a service.

I've had to keep it "hush hush" for a couple of months until publication, but I can finally share images from a shoot I did for Essence Magazine featuring Walmart executive Latriece Watkins.

A little over eight years ago, I graduated from the University of Arkansas Honors College with a B.S. in biology and anthropology and a minor in Spanish. Last month, I opened up the most recent issue of A+, the University of Arkansas Honors College magazine, and found myself featured inside, with a standout quote to boot!

If you haven't seen a firefighter run a half-marathon in full gear, you're missing out.

Last weekend, I went with my lovely wife and our pup and headed out to hike section two of the Ozark Highlands Trail. We hiked it backwards, going from the Cherry Bend Trailhead to White Rock Mountain, which is about a 20 mile route.
