Introduction: My very diverse background has prepared me to do a variety of professional quality work. I have photographed for national publication such as LIFE and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED as well as authored over 20 books. I have photographed leading political and religious leaders including Senator Orrin Hatch and First Lady Barbara Bush as well as LDS Church President Thomas Monson. I also photographed the Coronation ceremonies and festivities of the King of Tonga. I have completed numerous commercial and advertising assignments. I photograph in outdoor settings and also have a studio in my home for both portrait and still-life commercial work. My fine art photographs have been exhibited in over 60 venues nation wide and a large group of my portraits entitled "People, Places and Things on US 89" recently completed a three year state-wide tour of galleries in Utah. Very early in my career I heard a quote that said, "...find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life." I love taking pictures and therefore going to places like China, Samoa, Cuba, Tonga, France or Italy to work on a book or some other assignment is not work at all. It is pure pleasure. I also learned that when you do what you love you'll go the extra mile to make it the best "work" ever.

I did my Senior Pictures with John and they turned about amazing! It took only 2 sessions because we went to different locations in 2 days. John really knows what he is doing when he takes his pictures. He takes into account for the sun, the shadows, the angles, and the color contrasts; all in which enhanced my pictures. He is very professional about the entire process. After the photo shoot we both went over all the pictures and we chose the ones with the absolute best quality. All in all an amazing time! I will definitely come back to John for more! Outstanding job! Thank you so much!

He photographed me for my graduation picture, and also just a few other ones for fun. Each time didn't take to long. Probably a max of 30 minutes. Overall each experience was great. He's really nice and very easy to get a long with. Every picture that was taken looked amazing. And I really enjoyed everytime I worked with him. I will most definitely have him photograph all my other major events. And you should too.

John was a pleasure to work with. Getting 4 energetic boys to hold still AND smile at the same time is nearly impossible. But John brought props that caught their attention AND made them smile. Our family portrait is beautiful! Well done, John!
