Getting the job done.

26 degrees. 40 feet above asphalt. Thank goodness no wind or rain. A great Art Director and Creative Director. There are times that it all just comes together.

The New Space.

This is just a quick view of the new space. It's working out so well. More soon.

It's been so long.

Where in the world have I been? This poor BLOG has been idle for a while. Let's see? I'm going to post a few shots from a couple of events. I took the CREW, my lovely wife and one of my daughters, Lucy to Mexico for a shoot. Lots of work and lots of fun. AND I moved my studio. After 14 years in the same huge space it was time. I've gone from 8000 square feet to 1800. Rough move. The move took about 3 weeks, a couple of yard sales, and a couple of dumpsters...and the patience of Lauren. OH YEH, and I tried to keep working the entire time. Thanks to all involved. Mis Amigos and my family and crew.

Benji Hughes Love Extreme

There are those jobs and shoots that really stand out and this is one of them. Benji, Jason Barkley, and I worked hard to get that perfect image. Just the one that says, "Benji". I think we did it and now it's out there circling the world. Benji, thanks for the opportunity. I enjoyed it. Hey, put me on the list next time you play.

6 Days in Mexico

There are times that this job really takes me to wonderful places.  I have the opportunity to see such incredible places and meet some of the most interesting people you can imagine.  Some trips even afford me the chance to hang out in these incredible places with my lovely wife Lauren.  One such trip in August took us WAY South to Tulum, Mexico.  I spent a little time working on an upcoming shoot and a lot of time exploring.  These are some of the people we met and some of the places we visited.  I can't wait to do a final edit and post a few more.  Enjoy.  

Giving Back

Finding a cause that is somehow special and giving time to that cause is so important. Just taking time to share your life and your skill with others in need can be incredibly rewarding and grounding. What’s important in life? My impact and the impact of others on me.

Just recently I had an opportunity to shoot for an incredible organization, Flashes of Hope. Having lost a father to cancer and having personally battled cancer, I have been impacted heavily by this horrible disease. As a photographer giving back to others affected by cancer, I have been given a feeling of hope and healing.

Thank you so much, Flashes of Hope, for an awesome experience.

It's been a long and wonderful three weeks.

My wife Lauren and I, along with our first daughter, Lucy welcomed Ella McIntyre Carroll into the family just three weeks ago. We've been really busy to say the least. Things are going well though and everyone is healthy. It's awesome to have such a wonderful family. Everyone has told me that the second child gets so little attention when it comes to photos. Ella probably had 150 pictures taken in her first hour (I'll spare you). She's gorgeous. Two daughters! Life is good.
