Times, They Are a Changin'

As my business continues to grow and develop, the needs of my business have also changed. One significant change has been finding a way to provide an easy, no frills way to get people the images they want, in a format they want, without any hassle. Now those images can be ordered in various resolutions, and delivered almost immediately via download. You can even order prints and have them delivered right to your door!

It is important to me that my customers don't have to wait, and that they can still expect the highest quality products and images they have come to expect from Beau Stiles Creative. The evolution of the new website will occur over time, and will reflect the changes in my business. I will be adding rate schedules, package deals, and the like. Until then, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email or phone. Let's put together a package that will work for you!

Also of note: Although I specialize in MMA photography, I am still a photographer that is more than capable of handling any photography services you need. So whether it's your portfolio, a corporate event captured for posterity, or a professional image for your new marketing campaign, let Beau Stiles Creative provide the quality and service you deserve!

UCF Revolution on January 8, 2011

I never thought in a million years I would find myself back at my old high school, but there I was... 20 years after I graduated, at Skyline High School in Idaho Falls. Was I there for a reunion? No way, I was there for something far better and WAY more exciting... UCF Revolution, a mixed-martial arts event put on by "Superstar" Lee Anderson.

The card featured 10 fights, 8 amateur and 2 pro, and the match-ups were great! From 3 round slug-fests, to record-breaking six-second knockouts, to a "power-bomb" that would make Sabu cringe, this event had it all. The crowd was larger than I expected (estimates had it at around 1000 in attendance), and they were certainly into the fights.

The venue was better than I thought it would be, although the lighting made it very difficult to photograph, and the cage is one of the nicer ones around. Thanks to all the fighters, coaches, the promoter and the fans for making UCF Revolution a success!

New Champions...

That's right, a couple new champions were "belted" December 9th at XFS 55 as Nate Decker defeated Josh McBride for the vacant welter-weight belt, and Lonny Burton captured the bantam weight belt from Aric Iverson. Congratulations to both these guys for their dedication and hard-fought wins!

The rest of the fights proved to be entertaining as well. A couple solid knockouts certainly kept things interesting, as well as one fighter who, upset his fight was stopped, decided he might like to lose again, only to the ref Chuck G! I'm sure he wasn't thinking clearly as he'd just taken a "whoopin" from Gunner Weir... fortunate for him, he was stopped before getting to Chuck.

And, let's not forget the music for the evening. The band Workin' on Fire performed, and I thought did a great job. For three high school guys, they have played as much as anyone around, and this may have been their toughest crowd yet. I have worked with them in the past and they are always professional, as well as very talented.

All-in-all, a great night again at Qwest Arena in Boise, courtesy of Knockout Promotions! Now, on to the pics... click over to "Gallery" at the left of this page, and enjoy!

It's Been Awhile...

WOW! I can't believe how crazy the past 2 months have been! Between shooting, studying, family and work, I've had barely a moments rest. But I'm back, and I am stoked for Thursday night at Qwest Arena in Boise! XFS 55, and rather than tell you, I will share what Knockout Promotions has to say about the upcoming event:

XFS #55 "NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS" COMING TO QWEST ARENA THURSDAY DECEMBER 9TH 

Boise, Idaho: MMA history will be in the making as undefeated Aric “The Alien” Iverson returns to Idaho soil to defend his Bantam Weight XFS World Championship belt against the undefeated up-n-comer Lonny Burton in a much anticipated grudge match. 

“This should be the fight of the year.” says Knockout Promotions President Kasey Thompson. “This will be a major test for the Alien” 

“Nasty” Nake Decker will put his undefeated record on the line against #1 contender Josh Mcbride for the vacant Welter Weight XFS World Championship belt. 

There will be a total of (4) CHAMPIONSHIP belts on the line, in a night of action-packed, full-contact, cage fighting action! 

PLUS a whole lot more - with a total of 14 fights! That's XFS #55 - "NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS" in the octagon on THURSDAY, December 9th at Qwest Arena! 

Knockout Promotions gives back to the Treasure Valley this holiday season with tickets starting at JUST $5....That’s right $5…..Exclusively through the Qwest Arena box office, while supplies last. Charge tickets on-line at www.QwestArenaIdaho.com or call 331-TIXS. 



I'll be there, cageside as usual, capturing all the action, start to finish! I believe these may be some of the best fights this year in the Treasure Valley. Stop by and say hello!

Great Amateur Fights @ XFS 54

As is frequently the case, a few fights were dropped last minute. A couple were due to food poisoning, others due to some apparent confusion regarding the rules for amateur fighters. Whatever the case, Knockout still came through with a solid night of fights for the fans! I enjoyed myself immensely at cageside (blood spatter and all).

There were fights that kept us on the edge of our seat, there was one fight in which the fighter tapped to strikes at just 24 seconds into the first round, and pretty much everywhere in between. We witnessed many debuts of fighters, and saw a few fighters that have been to the cage a few times in the past. What really stood out to me at XFS 54 was the level of sportsmanship exhibited be each and every competitor. I was proud to be a part of this event.

It was also great to see and talk with Mike Kyle who has fought in the UFC, WEC, King of the Cage, Pancrease, and is a current Strikeforce contender. Originally from the Treasure Valley he has gone on to represent Idaho and have a great MMA career for the past several years. He seems to be a stand-up guy (no pun intended) with a great commitment to MMA. It was awesome to have him come out and show his support of our local fighters.

And now what you've all been waiting for... Images from XFS 54! Click on the gallery link at the left, and enjoy the latest shots of MMA action in Idaho. And if you haven't yet (or for a while), check out the older galleries as well. It will be well worth your time!
