Hey there! I’m a photographer and an ultralight hiker/trail runner, always chasing the next epic adventure in the backcountry. My wife and I are total trail junkies, and we love capturing those jaw-dropping moments in the wild.
We pack light, so we can cover more ground and hit those hidden gems that take your breath away. My camera is always ready to snap the perfect shot, whether it’s a killer landscape or an amazing environmental portrait.
One of our craziest adventures was trekking through Yosemite and tackling the Rim-to-Rim trail in the Grand Canyon. We navigated rocky paths, crossed pristine streams, and stumbled upon hidden valleys. Evenings were unreal—watching the sunset light up the sky while I captured it all on camera was pure magic.
Trail running adds a whole new level of stoke to our trips. We’ve hit some trails in the North Cascade Mountains in Washington state with my two buddies. There’s nothing like the rush of bagging a peak, heart pounding and legs burning, and being rewarded with breathtaking views that make it all worth it.
I specialize in landscape and environmental portraiture, really capturing the vibe of the places we explore and the people we meet. From the calm of an alpine lake at dawn to the fierce determination on my wife’s face as she tackles a tough trail, every shot tells the story of our wild adventures and the beauty of God’s creation.
Being out there with my wife, exploring rugged terrain, and documenting it all—that’s what fuels me. Every hike, every run, and every photo is a piece of our journey, a nod to the stunning landscapes that inspire us and the spirit of adventure that keeps us pushing forward.
