As we approach the end of 2008 I wanted to take the time to thank some people in a public fashion that have contributed to my success as a photographer.
Thanks to Matt Englehart at Ford Robert Black who has been one of my biggest supporters since I started shooting. For me everything started with shooting actors for Matt at Ford. Thanks to the SIM Agency and Aimee Sugar who has referred many from her talented roster my direction. Thanks to Dani's and Misti at Dani's Agency who also have referred a number of actors to my door. Thanks to Elayne Stein commercial acting coach extraordinaire. I always know when someone has come from Elayne's class because they bring lots of blue shirts to their shoot. Thanks to Linda Waymire of Matlin Studios, Linda has not only been a kind friend to me over the years but she has even allowed me to use her facilities as a shooting space when I travel back to Phoenix. Thanks to Jean Fowler another acting coach who has been very supportive as well as Matt and Leeann Dearing from the Dearing Studio. You all are a huge part of what allows me to do what I do. I can't thank you enough.
I also want to thank the folks at Phoenix Theatre including Michael Barnard, Vincent VanVleet, Daniel Schay, Beth Reynolds (my friend and initial contact there) and most importantly Robbie Harper who has been so kind to allow me to shoot at their facility a number of times even when I started early in the morning.
Thank you to my makeup artist and dear friend Krissy Thomason who has put up with me on countless shoots and still returns my phone calls.
Thank you to my makeup artist and dear friend Laura Flagler who has survived some long shoots with me and has always brought her talent and sense of humor to every shoot.
And finally and most importantly no matter how you found me thank you to all my clients that have actually hired me as a photographer. Many of you have become friends which is just an added bonus. I am blessed to do what I do for a living and it wouldn't happen without all of you.
