Recent photo and video work by Iron Lotus Creative for The Hive at 21c Bentonville and No Kid Hungry featuring bikes! Chefs! Fun!

We made a video about Canopy NWA for FoodStory Brands and their Salsabrate the Good campaign.

We created a photo and video campaign for Boston Mountain Eye Care, a small optometry clinic in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and had a blast.

New news. New brand. New new new.

Big news. Guess you’ll have to click here.

Another year has gone flowing by.

The older I get, the more that time starts to feel less like a line and more like a river.

I'm usually a pretty solitary person and am not a fan of extra attention, but a little press never hurts, right?

If you have a minute, check out the Q&A I have over on the Fulbright REVIEW, the official blog of the Fulbright College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Arkansas, of which I'm an alumnus.

Hello everyone! Just a note to say that, for the first time in a few years, I have a gallery show hanging! Entitled "Same Same But Different," it will be open to the public from 10am-5pm, Monday through Friday, at the Anne Kittrell Gallery in the University of Arkansas Student Union, until the end of September.

One of the most delicious places I’ve eaten in Arkansas is The Hive, the restaurant inside the 21c Museum Hotel in Bentonville. The head chef, Matt McClure, is a real class act on top of being an amazing chef. I was excited when I got contacted by their marketing department about creating some images for the restaurant shortly after my son was born earlier this year. You know, when restaurants were still open like they used to be. In the pre-Covid times.

As a lifelong introvert, one of my favorite situations as a portrait photographer is when I get to work with someone one on one and actually get to spend a little time getting to know them. It’s much more fulfilling for me than working with a crowd or even just a larger group of people. And one of the best ways to get to do that is by doing high school senior portraits.

Well, folks, this isn’t how I expected it to turn out. There was going to be a party.

Here’s a photo of a sad me alone in my birthday suit at a not-a-party to prove it.

On this day ten years ago, I marched my almost-college-graduate butt down to the county courthouse and filed the first paperwork to become an official business in Arkansas.

You may have wondered why I haven't taken the time to update this blog for a few months. The answer? I had a baby. And it turns out that in the months leading up to and immediately after the birth of a child, you're a little busy.

If you know me, you know I'm not a fan of our addiction to fossil fuels. So, unsurprisingly, this gig presented an opportunity for some moral introspection.

Every time I get an email from a musician asking about portraits, I get excited. With Tomoko and Miho, it wasn't any different. They play with the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas and other groups around town…

If you've been in Northwest Arkansas long, the chances are high that you've been at an event where Ben Harris has been playing. I see him playing at places like Crystal Bridges Museum all the time.

Whenever I'm contacted about senior portraits, one of my first questions is this: "What does this kid like to do?" Hayley's mom said she was into archery.

Since 2010 or so, I've been a sponsor of the Cow Paddy Run. A 5K and 1K fun run family event, the race originated sometime in the late 80s or 90s, when I was a little kid, to help fund the creation of Gulley Park in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It went away, eventually, but was resurrected by some of my friends in 2010 as a charity event to give back to our area's public schools.

One of my regular projects is to shoot the main story images for the Butterfield Trail Village magazine called Butterfield LIFE. For the most recent issue, it was Dorothy Mitchelson, a resilient holocaust survivor with a wonderful smile.
