Cody came to the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque New Mexico because he wanted a professional headshot for his newly created LinkedIn profile. Many clients this year have come to me for a headshot just for LinkedIn specifically. I think it is very important to represent your own personal brand on all social media with photos that show you looking your best.
Read MoreFor the past three weeks, I spent most evenings at sunset time out in Torrance County New Mexico. It is approximately 45 miles east of Albuquerque, near the town of Moriarty. I would arrive each evening an hour before sunset to make photographs of rural land properties for Hemingway Land Company. These are some of the sunsets I saw each evening out there.
Read MoreOn the way to photographing a rural land property in Torrance County, New Mexico, we were looking for a place to take short hike. At Otero Trailhead off of Road 337 just south of Tijeras, if you take the first left branch off of the main trail entrance, you will come across this creek. In late winter it was not exactly flowing mightily, but it was a pleasant enough spot for an easy trek and a picnic.
This 4K drone video shows the gentle flow of the creek and the view from bird's eye above.

First was at the General Atomics grand opening event, then in his office for a Duke City Gladiators promo shot, then lastly him actually playing in an arena football exhibition game! Scroll through the gallery below to see Mayor Keller get his official #18 team portrait made, then go through warmups, introductions, then handing off for a touchdown late in the first quarter!

When I say small window, I mean small. Kickoff was scheduled for 6pm. I made the first player portrait at 4:29pm! Being a professional photographer means being prepared for just about anything, so I made sure I practiced the exact lighting setup I wanted to a few days earlier, so all I had to do was show up, set up, and start making photos!
Read MoreCeramic artist Noah Starer visited my Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico twice this week with a lot more of his great artwork. Featured here are pieces he informally named, "tumbleweeds," in blue above and tan below. He suggested people can choose between the ocean and the desert! I like that idea a lot, and of course I would choose ocean for myself. If you like these pieces, you can contact Noah via his website below. He has been a long time repeat client and making creative art photos of his work has been a fun, on going challenge as the shapes and sizes of his ceramic art changes each time he brings me new pieces.
Read MoreI have been spending a lot of time photographing rural land near Moriarty, New Mexico in Torrance County. At one location the client only ordered ground level photos, but in scouting the property on Google Maps I saw these crop circle looking formations behind the property and decided to bring my drone to see how they looked from the air!
