Hash House A Go-Go serves twisted farm food, their extravagant take on Midwest comfort food. As their local food photographer, I wanted to show off all of the full-plate goodness and create some salivating imagery to draw in the locals to the new addition to the dining scene.
Dealer Collision Center in St. George is clearly one of those trustworthy companies that focus on customer satisfaction. I got the chance to work them as an Auto Mechanic Commercial Photographer to capture the various operations within their business.
I grew up snowboarding. In high school, I spent nearly every weekend on the mountain (and maybe a couple of weekdays when I should have been in school 😏). So naturally, I was pretty eager to get the chance to be a Ski Resort Commercial Photographer for Eagle Point.
For the last couple of years, I’ve had the awesome opportunity to work with The Photo Rehab photography workshop series as the onsite barista and sponsorship coordinator. In 2018, we hosted Photo Rehab at Estes Park, Colorado and I got to shoot this session as a Lifestyle Fashion Photographer
We decided to make the most of the following Saturday and celebrate our Valentine's day in Kanab, UT at the Balloons and Tunes Roundup Festival.
Rebecca is really into fitness and health and grew a sizable following on Instagram thanks to her upbeat personality and fitness inspiration. We decided to do a fit model portrait photography collaboration on the grounds of a resort and spa in St. George, Utah.
As our wedding drew closer, my favorite people started to arrive into town and the festivities began. When Zach, my best man, arrived, shenanigans ensued.
You know who loves a good theme party? Us, we do. You know who also happens to enjoy the new Great Gatsby and romanticising the 1920s? Us, we do.

Adventure portrait photography in Zion National Park Southern Utah
Zach and I developed a close relationship throughout his time in college thanks to a combination of Jesus, climbing, biking, and general shenanigans. After spending a year teaching English in Taiwan, he came back to St. George to spend a week with us, so it only seemed natural to take a little bike ride around an abnormally rainy St. George.
Day trips to the boulders that litter the valley of Zion is definitely one of the perks of living so close to the National Park.

I can attribute a great deal of my growth as a photographer to Tyler taking me under his wing and letting me shoot weddings with him. I've had the opportunity to travel all over Utah and to California working with him and watching him work. This time I got to help out by documenting one of his engagement sessions in Zion National Park for his brand marketing material!

We shot this session alongside one of our awesome photographer friends, Chad with Faces Photography when he was down for a visit to St. George. Shaelie volunteered to model for us, and Chad brought along his Mamiya RZ67 Medium Format film camera for me to play with. One session with that monster and I was hooked, I later when and purchased my own medium format film camera. I always appreciate shooting with Chad and his constant willingness to teach and help other photographers. #CommunityOverCompetition
There are some days when I look outside my window and I'm completely taken by the quality of light and something rises up inside me: "I need to photograph some, now." This happened to be one of those days, so I put out a call on social media for people to join me and Lauren showed up for a little bit. I spent the rest of the time wandering around my little location looking for interesting things to photograph, which can be quite a challenge for a people oriented photographer like myself!
Originally, our plan was to take a train from Paris to Heidelberg, Germany, but the morning of our flight out, we found out about a planned train strike that would land on the day we planned to leave Germany. All the alternative routes between Lucerne and Heidelberg were fully booked out. So we decided to pivot and stay in Strasbourg instead. So a mere hours before boarding our flight to Paris, we booked an AirBnB and made some plans for things to see in our new destination.
