Deep in the backcountry.

Photographer/Videographer

I’m a photographer and content creator who has built a career, somewhat accidentally, by leaning into my curiosity. Starting off as an English major in college I’ve consistently been drawn to good stories and strong character. Somewhere along the way I picked up a camera and discovered another way to tell a story, one that ultimately became both a creative outlet and a career.

That creative life has taken me down some unexpected paths. Much of my professional work has found a home within landscape architecture and the green industry, where I’ve spent the last five years creating meaningful imagery and content for people who design, build, grow, and create. But curiosity has never allowed me to stay comfortably in one lane. I’m drawn to honest people, interesting businesses, craftsmanship, and anyone genuinely passionate about what they do.

Away from client work, that same curiosity usually points me toward the road. Travel, unfamiliar places, small towns, landscapes, everyday people, and fleeting lifestyle moments continue to influence the way I see and the way I create. Whether I’m telling the story of a business or simply carrying a camera to somewhere I’ve never been, the motivation remains pretty simple: stay curious, pay attention, and create something meaningful from what you find.
