I’ve been incredibly blessed lately to have the support and encouragement of so many individuals as I continue to expand my portfolio. Each day presents a new opportunity, a new nugget of knowledge and a little bit more determination. I’m happy to announce that I’m now working with the amazing team at The Agency Arizona to shoot their composite card work for new models and those needing to freshen their portfolio with a commercial and lifestyle look. I really can’t say enough good things about the team they have there and their approach to the business. All around A-class, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.

As some of you may know, I’ve become a regular contributing writer for Digital Photography School. It’s given me the opportunity to share some of the experiences and findings that have helped me move along.

I really think a big part to all the great things that have been happening comes down to having the right attitude. It’s always been my philosophy that great photography is more than just great images, it’s about a solid product as well. Meaning the way you interact with others, the timeliness of presenting photos, a visible pride in your work without being pompous and thinking of all the details. If this industry needs one thing, it’s a return to the service component. Customers are craving it and those of us who can capitalize on that are going to see our hard efforts rewarded. Hard work and kindness, never underestimate the combo. Check out my post, Develop an Attitude of Success, on Digital Photograph School for more on that.

A few weeks ago I ventured up into the Flagstaff snow for a winter-time fun concept with Julie and Todd of Agency AZ. I’m really looking to bolster my portfolio with more group work and will be arranging more tests to get my book ready to show. Hope you enjoy this smiling in the snow adventure.
