Thank you to everyone who has followed my photography on this blog. After a year of operating two separate blogs (one for nonprofit work and one for photography), I’ve finally decided to combine them into one. You can now find all of my photo updates as well as other blog posts at:

Thank you to all! Hope to see you at the new blog!

My time in Rwanda so far has been amazing. I’m extremely pleased with what has been accomplished. I have even had a few free moments to take some photos. A few are below but click HERE to see more!

Today I had a chance to take engagement pictures for two close friends of mine, Andy and Kristen. The day started off with its challenges, namely, the torrential downpour in Phoenix and Scottsdale! Since I am leaving the country on Tuesday we couldn’t reschedule, instead we kept driving until we found the sun. We wound up in downtown Phoenix. Despite all that, we still had a blast. Andy and Kristen are both such awesome people. They are genuine, funny, and a blast to be around. I’m extremely excited for their wedding coming up in July. Thanks to both of you for allowing me to spend the afternoon with you today, I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Once again, I just want to reiterate how fun a couple these two are. It was an absolute blast shooting their wedding. Thank you again to the wedding party, to the family and friends of the bride and groom, and of course to George and Brittany. It was a privilege to be a part of your wedding day! Below you will see some of my favorite pictures from the day, but don’t stop there. Visit Tara Maloufs site (click here) to see a great story board she laid out of the day. Tara thanks again for shooting the wedding with me, you did an amazing job!

I am still editing pictures from the big day, in the mean time I hope this slideshow will hold you over for now! George and Brittany, I had a fantastic time photographing your wedding. Everything was beautifully done. You are both amazing people and I consider it a privilege to have been able to share in this experience with you. Thank you to everyone who made the trip such a great experience. Also, thank you to my friend Tara Malouf who did a fantastic  job photographing this wedding with me, you can view her site by clicking here. Hope you all enjoy!

Today I shot another forum for the Loadstar center which is associated with Arizona State University. The Loadstar center is doing some great work in the nonprofit realm. I enjoyed listening to the speakers, meeting new people, and seeing some familiar faces today. Of course, all of that was in between shooting the event. I do need to throw out a disclaimer. I hate using a flash, especially at something like this where it is so distracting. So I shot with a high ISO when inside and did my best to deal with the awful lighting. On the bright side (no pun intended) the lighting outside was amazing! Here are a few that I liked.

For those of you who know me, you are aware that I am going to Rwanda for 8 weeks in April with the nonprofit organization Food For the Hungry (click here for more info). I am still raising money for my time there and thought it would be great if I could generate extra income for the trip through photography.

So, from now until the end of March I will be running a special on portrait sessions. For a forty-five minute, one location, session, it is only $99! That covers the shoot as well as a cd with 20 high quality, edited images.

When you contact me you have the option of signing up for Saturday March 28th, or Saturday April 11th. Time slots will be in 45 minute increments from 8-12 and 3-5:30. First come first served.

For specials on group, family and couple pricing, please contact me.

Once the times fill up the offer ends so act soon! Contact me at cmaddox@gomaddphotography.com

Thank you all for your support, both in my photography business and in my involvement in nonprofit organizations. It has been a blessing serving you all!

Another weekend in Rocky Point has come and gone as I led another Love God Love People trip last weekend. It was a great trip, and we were able to leverage the time there and make a positive impact. For more information on the trip visit my blog at chrismaddoxblog.com or the LGLP blog at thelglpsite.com

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the trip.

My grandpa was in town from Missouri for a few days this past week. The old man can still swing a golf club, I found this out when golfing with him, my dad and my brother. We had a lot of fun competing with each other, goofing off, and just enjoying a relaxing day. Here are a few shots from our round of golf.
