Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, Cosplay Photography

Photos taken at the Gilbert Riparian water perserve

Zoinks! A Scooby-Doo mystery in the Arizona desert


Who says you need a haunted mansion to solve a mystery?


At the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, Arizona, we brought Shaggy from Scooby-Doo to life with a green shirt, red pants, a magnifying glass, a lantern, and a very important four-legged sidekick. The model Amy was basically possessed by the spirit of Shaggy in this photoshoot; she had the voice and mannerisms down perfectly!


I love working with cosplayers who are ready to have fun and bring their favorite characters to life. From iconic outfits to creative props and unexpected locations, we can turn your idea into a story worth capturing.


Ready to step into your fantasy? I'll meet you there!
