I was recently named to PDN 30 a honor that puts me in great company. It’s an accomplishment I don’t take lightly and can’t thank all those who have had a role in shaping my short progression as a photographer to the person and photographer I am today. An honor like this has allowed me [...]
It’s always a great feeling when an image from a personal project can find a home somewhere beyond your own wall or even worse just sitting in box as an unscanned negative. So I was beyond pleased when my Hockey Eye image from the US Pond Hockey Championship that just happens blocks from our house [...]
One of our photos from our Miss project was recently selected for the American Photography 28 book. Not a small feat as the pages of the book are a tough one to crack. From over 8,100 pictures entered by over 1,200 photographers, magazines, agencies, publishers and schools, the jury selected by a majority vote or [...]
Recently we photographed Carol Rudy for the AARP Bulletin for a story about requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls, a hot issue right now in Minnesota. Carol’s mother, Isabel, faced the daunting task of trying to get photo identification and was a conscientious voter throughout her 94 years, including serving for [...]

Recently we traveled to the Wisconsin/Illinois border for the AARP Bulletin for a story on bariatric surgery. It was great to finally work with Michael Witchita, an editor we have known and have been excited to work with for awhile. Postponing the shoot for a couple of days so I could get back in town [...]
We were delighted to hear from Nicole Fruge, who along with being a very gifted photographer is a photo editor at Education Week. Nicole had the type of assignment we love. Hearing, “go hang out and do your thing,” is music to our ears. For a story about a rise in grandparents raising their grandkids, [...]
Earlier this summer we were in Las Vegas to document the Miss USA pageant when photo editor Maggie Soladay reached out to us wondering if we would have time for a shoot at the Zappos headquarters right outside of Las Vegas.
