Everardo Keeme, Phoenix Photographer and Founder of Photo Fusion Studio
Everardo Keeme is an Arizona native and the owner of Photo Fusion Studio in downtown Phoenix. For more than 15 years he has photographed executives, events, brands and golf, including more than a decade as the official photographer of the Phoenix Open.
How Everardo Keeme Found Photography
Everardo was born in Tempe, Arizona, and has spent his life and career in the Valley. Before photography became his profession, he spent years in the corporate world, an experience that still shapes how the studio works with busy executives, marketing teams and event planners today.
Photography started with cycling. Everardo was drawn to the camera while covering professional races, including the Amgen Tour of California and the Tour of Utah. Fast-moving riders, changing light and no second chances taught him to anticipate the moment instead of reacting to it. That same instinct later made him at home on the golf course and in fast-paced corporate events.
His goal behind the camera has stayed the same since those early races: capture the energy, the emotion and the story of the moment, and make every person in front of the lens look and feel their best.
Building Photo Fusion Studio
Everardo began working under his own name as Everardo Keeme Photography and joined the Chandler Chamber of Commerce in 2010. In 2012 he opened Photo Fusion Studio in downtown Scottsdale. Around 2016 the studio moved to the Biltmore area, and Everardo Keeme Photography became part of Photo Fusion Studio as the primary brand.
In 2020 the studio moved to its current home in downtown Phoenix, at 600 N 4th St. Today Photo Fusion Studio is a federally trademarked studio specializing in executive headshots, corporate event photography and conference coverage, with photographers who travel regularly for clients across the country and internationally.
Everardo still leads the studio as owner and lead photographer, working alongside a team of associate photographers, a videographer and studio staff.
Everardo Keeme and the Phoenix Open
From 2010 to 2020, Everardo served as the official photographer of the Phoenix Open. Tournament week meant practice rounds, the pro-am, Special Olympics, Junior Golf Day, concerts and four rounds of championship golf, often averaging 20,000 steps a day across the course.
That decade opened doors across the game: PGA TOUR, LPGA and Southwest PGA events, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, Troon, college programs, golf brands and private player events with names like Justin Thomas and Zach Johnson.

A Restaurant Family and a Sommelier’s Eye
Everardo grew up around a family restaurant and later completed formal sommelier training. That background shows up in his food and beverage photography: he knows how a kitchen runs, how a plate should look when it leaves the pass and how to tell a restaurant’s story without slowing down service.
Golf in All 50 States With Nicole
Everardo and his wife Nicole are Mr & Mrs Golf, a couples golf lifestyle brand documenting golf across all 50 U.S. states. It is part travel journal, part love letter to the game, and it keeps Everardo on new courses and in new light every season.
He is also the exclusive photographer for Tori Totlis and Compete Confidence Golf, covering women’s golf trips from Scotland and Ireland to Mexico and Pebble Beach.
