I shoot people for a living and have for more than 25 years. I am a professional editorial, corporate and commercial photographer in Rogers, AR. I was a photojournalist for more than 25 years, 13 as Chief Photographer of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette/NW Edition. I now work for a regional magazine in Arkansas, shoot model testing for a local agency, and venture into corporate America to photograph management and their associates at major corporations headquartered in Northwest Arkansas.
I love working with people to make a great image for them. I even enjoy the ones who tell me up front, "I hate having my picture made!" They are a special challenge. I love seeing their face when we are done!
