I went out to the Great Salt Lake this weekend after seeing a spot that I thought would make a good photo-op later on. After wading out in the smelly, retched, dirty, salt water to get to the optimal location… I set up “camp”. The wind was a bit strong, which made the water look [...]

Well, I finally got out with my camera. The weather has been pretty nice, and it’s supposed to be beautiful the rest of the week… which is wonderful! Yesterday I went out with a friend, David, to the Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City. The garden itself, is beautiful. They did a really nice [...]

I swear I’m not dead. I’ve just been busy with getting things situated up here in Utah. Moving, jobs (or the lack thereof), making new friends, you know… all that stuff. I’m hoping once it finally warms up here and stops snowing, that I’ll be more willing to get out and shoot something… or maybe [...]

Two things. One, I’m posting this using an app on my mobile device! Exciting. Second, I am moving the first week of March. So, Sur-Real Photography will no longer operate out of Arizona… but will now operate from Utah!! This takes effect March 1st. There’s still a week and a day to take advantage of [...]

There’s one week left till Valentines Day! Whether you think of this holiday as a perfect excuse to show your love to the one you care about, or if you dread this day more than last weeks root canal… I have the perfect solution for you! Starting Today, there are two sales going on at [...]

A week ago I had the pleasure of photographing a model from the valley. This was my first “official” model session… and it went surprisingly well. We started in Tempe, along Mill Ave. Then went down towards the Tempe Town Lake to take a few shots. Then drove up to Old Town Scottsdale for a [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here, so figured I’d put this one random photo up. This photo was taken on the Peralta Trail that I hiked yesterday (Wednesday). If you haven’t hiked this trail, I really do recommend it. The hike is fairly easy, and it’s only 3-4 miles… round trip. So [...]

Since it’s not snowing here yet… I want it to be fall again. A couple months ago I went out with a fellow photographer from here in Payson. We went up on top of the Mogollon Rim in search of some awesome fall colors! As we turned a corner on the 300 road, to our [...]

A few weeks ago I was able to take Nick Randall’s senior portraits. We met at their house and then did all the photos at the golf course behind their home. I made the mistake of having us meet at 6AM!! It was freezing. I couldn’t feel my fingers when trying to take the pictures… [...]

Some say they don’t want to make any money from this photo just a few bucks. Others say they don’t want any pay at all just a photo credit to get their name out there or to see it in a paper with their photo credit. Quick tell me the name of the photographer who [...]
