Hearth & Home Magazine cover shot
Several weeks ago I received a call from Richard Wright, Editor of Hearth & Home magazine. He was interested in using my shot as a 2-page fold-out cover for his next issue. The patio is from a Fountain Hills home built by M.S Dudley Construction, with interiors by Kimberly Colletti of Treken Interiors.
Builder online featuring Portland 38
Just read an article on Portland 38 by JAG Development at Builder online. I photographed these modern lofts several years ago for owners, Allan & Benjamin Gutkin. I remember being impressed with how they managed to create affordable modern living. I also recall carrying my gear up and down the 3 story units, which gave me some exercise for the day.
Hidden Springs Ranch in AZ Society
The latest issue of AZ Society Magazine features the Biltmore residence and Wickenburg horse training ranch of Bob & Mary Ellen McKee. The assignment was a lot of fun, covering two days and two locations. This photo of Mary Ellen wasn’t staged, but more like a lucky shot considering I’m accustomed to my subjects not moving. 
She was a real cowgirl and according to her staff, a super nice boss…making brownies and cookies everyday for her hard working crew.
Top 10 World’s Prettiest Pools
Anicia Burton, owner of A BRAGG Design notified me that my photo of her swimming pool made theĀ Top 10 list of World’s Prettiest Pools in Design Drool by Kristine Hansen, featured on Shelterpop. As I recall, this image took us a couple of hours to clean, stage, prop, light, and finally shoot.
It took discipline not to jump in at the end, considering I was ready to cool off. It’s a hazard of photographing pools in Arizona.

Luxe Ad for Christopher K. Coffin
Look for a couple of spaces I photographed for Christopher’s ad in the summer 2010 issue of Luxe. He and I met in 2007 when I shot his work on my first editorial feature for AZ Society Magazine. The assignment was the private residence of Karen Doerflein, owner of Julian’s Fine Cabinetry / Clive Christian Scottsdale.
