This is my friend Emma. We’ve been through some crazy adventures together, and I recently got to spend some time with her in her latest adventure: a family flour mill. She and her dad run the business, Hayden Flour Mills, using a fantastic Austrian mill to create unique, clean, local flours. I’m very much...

IRC Plants New Roots in Phoenix
Now this is a FANTASTIC idea. I have become a huge proponent of eating organic food and, even better, LOCAL organic food. I love exploring farmers markets in my area and buying as much as possible from local growers. I also, as you know, work with different refugee communities and have come to count them...
Phoenix’s Chinese Cultural Center
Phoenix is more of a culturally diverse place than most people might think, and here’s a bit more evidence of it. Complete with supermarket, restaurants, Chinese medicinal herb stores, decor shops, and Chinese garden, the local Chinese Cultural Center it’s an entire plaza dedicated to promoting Chinese culture and providing a place for the local...
Soda Dam & Elsewhere, NM
I spent the last several days in New Mexico and had an especially fun time photographing this place. It’s called Soda Dam, at Jemez Springs. Besides the waterfall, with water coming from the river, sulphurous mineral water also comes out of springs in the ground, like this one and through the rock itself. Here’s what...
Georgetown
I was there for four days, but it was not enough. I had never seen Georgetown before, and I have to say I wish I had more time there. Exploring the city on red brick sidewalks, taking in elegant row houses, and people-watching at the coffee shops, waterfront restaurants, and hallowed university campus. I thoroughly...
Languages of Phoenix
As surely most of you know, Arizona has a bad rap these days for immigration issues, intolerance, etc. etc. But if you don’t live here, you probably don’t realize how incredibly diverse it is or that the city of Phoenix actually takes in more refugees than most other cities in the country. This place...
Lylah
This is Lylah Ledner. She and her husband Michael run The Simple Farm, a very cool local suburban farm I’ve had the privilege to photograph lately. This time I went to photograph Lylah because The Simple Farm has been gaining notoriety in the Valley, and Lylah will soon be featured as one Phoenix’s 100 Tastemakers...
Inga & Jason
These are some friends of mine who have an adorable little girl and are now pregnant with their second. Was fun hanging out with you guys the other day!
Terry & Tori: Wedding
Thanks to everybody for all your compliments on Terry and Tori’s engagement shoot! The wedding was this past weekend, and it was just as much fun photographing them the second time around. The stunning location at Tori’s family home on the edge of the desert, hearing the story of how the couple met when Tori’s...
Terry & Tori
I’m not a wedding photographer, but every now and then I photograph a wedding for a friend, and this week I had a ton of fun doing an engagement session at a nearby abandoned dairy farm. It’s one of the original dairies in the area, now sitting along the side of the road in...
