100 Years of Statehood – Arizona’s Centennial is right around the corner

Saturday, July 30, 2011

The other night I attended a meeting regarding the upcoming “Arizona Best Fest” that will be taking place in Prescott in a few short weeks.  I didn’t know too much about it to be honest.  Many of the attendees didn’t know too much about it either.  While I’m always up to date on the big [...]

15 Minutes with Jantina

Thursday, July 21, 2011

Yesterday Jantina came in to the studio early.  She brought two hats along with her.  Gotta say, I dig Jantina’s hats. We’ve been talking about doing a few portraits again.  So we did a quick session with the hats.     As you can see, we had fun!  15 minute photo session, cause we had [...]
