About Lasting Legacy Studio

I started Lasting Legacy Studio out of a desire to create lasting and meaningful images that will be cherished for ages. We all know that memories will eventually fade, but with the great advancements in technology today, we can preserve those memories for our kids, grandkids and beyond. It is my goal to create something that has real meaning for you.

I has been involved in photography and video for many years as a hobbyist and semi-professional. Other than these interested my "day job" was as a Navy FA-18 pilot for ten years. During this time I flew missions as part of Operation Southern Watch, Desert Fox, and Enduring Freedom. I have over 230 arrested landings with 100 of those during dark and scary nights!

After leaving active duty in 2005, I moved to Sahuarita and started working for Raytheon full time. During this time, my wife Michele followed her heart and started her own business, Sahuarita Dance Center, which is a full service dance studio teaching ballet, jazz, tap, ballroom, hip hop and creative dance.
 

• Let their personalities shine through!  While JCPenney Portraits offers hundreds of background options, personalize their portraits by bringing a special prop, uniform, costume or favorite toy.
• Infants should be well rested and fed prior to your appointment.
• Young toddlers are the trickiest to prepare.  They quickly pick up on stress and may become nervous, so keep it fun and don't rehearse the sitting.  Arrive early and let the photographer get to know your child.
• When selecting clothing, keep in mind your background options, and use your best judgment.  Click here for additional color coordination tips.
• Keep hairstyles and make-up (adults only!) simple.  Barretts and ribbons should be small.  Hair should be neatly trimmed no later than 48 hours prior to your appointment.
• We try our best to get the portraits you deserve and times we may run behind schedule while trying to get that perfect smile for someone.
