I’ve spent a long time wandering and more days than I can count sleeping under the stars. For a few years, I moved through lands with a mindful appreciation driven by a desire to explore and experience the greatest variety of what life has to offer. As I traveled, I found myself more often than not holding a camera, doing my best to capture once-in-a-lifetime moments. I’m so grateful that I get the chance to capture the moments that matter.

I want more than anything to continue on this path, and what I have captured over the past few years represents the reasons I wake up every day and feel that I have a purpose on this planet. My photography is about something bigger than myself. This is (and will always be) about what it means to be alive.

And if you wanted to know more…

I’m a soul with a love for spending time feeling free. I’ve often been told I’ve already lived a whole life of adventure, but I really think this is just the beginning. I love music and creating and learning and oat milk steamers with some turmeric. And tea. Lots of it. And I bike recklessly along the roads of the town I now call home. My roots will grow and my leaves will change with the seasons. I will further cultivate my garden. I will share the paths I have walked so far and the ones I find myself walking. Your support of my journey, whether through friendship, collaborating on a project, or anything else, means the world to me. Every day I work toward building a sustainable existence doing the things I deeply love and I feel fortunate that my path allows me to give back to communities that are making a difference. Reach out if you wanna make something rad together!
