“I’m a full time photographer and videographer based in beautiful Crested Butte, Colorado. I love to shoot my local landscapes as well as brand and adventure work.
Since moving to Colorado in 2016, capturing the natural beauty in magical light remains my pursuit. Camera in hand, I explore our dramatic landscape by bike, snowboard, truck, or foot. Your workshop registrations support me as an artist and will elevate your own skill and craft. Much love”
