New work: Scarlet Harmony promotional portraits ✨

I recently photographed Scarlet Harmony for a polished promotional and EPK-focused studio session led by founder and creative director Christie Kerner. The session focused on elegant vintage-inspired visuals, strong social-media-ready compositions, and cohesive branding imagery for the band’s website and marketing.

It was especially meaningful reconnecting with Christie after previously collaborating years ago on a Startup Grind Phoenix promotional project.

"PHOENIX — An impressive crowd gathered at the Desert Diamond Arena for opener Boyz Noize and the legendary Nine Inch Nails. Bass pounded through the speakers as the opening set welcomed attendees to a darkened room, with occasional red lighting shifting between the center of the room, a shrouded, large box-shaped object sitting in the growing sea of fans..."

Purity Ring ✨ "place of my own" tour at The Van Buren, Phoenix - November 18, 2025.

It took me too long to share these on here. is a bitch. But I'm so glad to finally have enough energy and motivation to do so!

I've requested to photograph Purity Ring once… maybe twice before, and it just never lined up. They’ve been one of my go-to listens for years when I want music that feels comforting, stimulating, and immersive. I never get tired of them!

So being invited by their team to finally cover this show felt extra special. And it ended up being cooler than I could've imagined. The holographic visuals during their set were unreal. Unlike anything I’ve seen before, and a dream to photograph. These images are some of my favorites I’ve made.

From large-scale production moments to deeply personal solo stages, TWICE delivered a show that honored its history while fully embracing Phoenix as part of the group’s journey..."

"PHOENIX — For a band whose early work has become synonymous with mid‑2000s indie‑pop nostalgia, The Format proved they’re as essential as ever during a heartfelt mid‑day performance at Crescent Ballroom.

Limited to fans who pre-ordered the new album Boycott Heaven, and originally planned as an intimate “in‑store” in the parking lot of Stinkweeds Records, the show was relocated due to weather concerns. The move indoors may have averted rain that never came - but it also meant missing out on a planned surprise rooftop performance, a Beatles‑style moment that would have overlooked the Stinkweeds lot and lived in Phoenix music lore..."
