ARISE Photography

I had a blast shooting the Basin Boulder Bash 2026 ! These are a few of their amazing route setters getting the routes for finals ready to go! What a great environment, and I witnessed some impressive climbers.

A lil baseball action from earlier this summer. Ready for Fall sports!

I am geared up and excited for the Fall Sports season!
My calendar is officially open for game and event coverage. If you want to ensure this season's hard work and triumphs are preserved with high-impact photography, I would love to work with you.

Crazy morning ... Lots of commotion outside my window! Brief glimpse I saw a few Mississippi Kites. So I grab my camera hoping to get a couple of images. WOW! I counted 11 flying around our street (proof: last photo shows 10). Come to find out adults and juveniles were having a feast on cicadas! Beautiful birds of prey!

May not be "sports" action, but just as fun capturing "bird" action near Lake Waco!

Quick trip to see friends in Montana ... AMAZING! All of those colors from nature ... BEAUTIFUL!! Wildlife ... WILD!!

Part 2: NoDa (short for North Davidson) is Charlotte’s historic arts and entertainment district. Located just northeast of Uptown, this former 1900s mill village has transformed into a vibrant, walkable enclave famous for its bold street murals, eclectic dining, craft breweries, and live music venues.

Why Black & White? NoDa is full of color and warmth ... Go see NoDa next time you're in Charlotte!

Part 1: Annual city "photowalk" while my wife is at a conference. Each year I try to find a theme ... sometimes I find one or two, sometimes I don't. Charlotte, NC didn't disappoint with her visuals, but I wasn't able to find a theme. However, I did find Queen Charlotte!

Risked taking my camera on the kayak with me ... so glad I did to capture these.
