A Great Day at the Zoo

My family and I spent the day at the Phoenix Zoo and saw some amazing animals and plant life. This time of year, it’s important to arrive early in the morning because of the heat. If you arrive too late, the animals will be inside sleeping until the heat subsides. The zoo is a fun place for photographers. Don’t hesitate …

Going down wasn’t hard at all, but the climb back up wasn’t nearly as easy. The canyon was even more impressive in person than any picture …

Christmas card photos.  This nice looking young couple wanted an outdoor photo shoot displaying wonderful winter weather for their Arizona Christmas card.  They were a great couple to photograph and we had a lot of fun. Lots of silliness and laughter with two people in love and enjoying their time together.

Great Friends Christmas Card Shoot

Steve, Carol and their two fur babies wanted Christmas card photos by a beautiful waterfall setting. The puppies did a great job of sitting still for as long as they did. It doesn’t get a whole lot better than great friends, a wonderful dinner, and a beautiful day for a photo shoot.

My little baby!

This is daddy’s little baby. Let me introduce Katy. She was brought to our house when she was 2.5 weeks old. Our neighbor found her, and his wife is allergic to cats so they couldn’t keep her. We bottle fed her to keep her alive. She is now 4 years old, and my family and I can’t imagine our lives …

Not the Usual Name for a Business

Wondering about the name E3 RAW Photo? The three E’s stand for Emotion, Expression, and Edge. Photography tells a story that is captured through the lens and body of a camera.   Emotion, expression and the edge happen simultaneously.  It is in the smiles, the tears, the laughter.   It is the moment a young couple become engaged, a child is able …
