A storyteller with soul: my philosophy & approach.

I was always the keeper of the family memories; following my friends and family around with my home video camcorder or setting up “photoshoots” with my cousins and siblings, making them pose for the camera. I remember scrolling through my grandpa’s old National Geographic magazines and I knew from a young age that I wanted an adventurous life.

More than 10 years later, I have indeed been lucky enough to have traveled all over the world, meeting and shooting incredible people in some unforgettable locations.

As a photographer I am a collector of memories. Photographs are tangible reminders of our happiest and best moment.

Life is made up of moments.

I’m interested in the simple, genuine, authentic moments.

And years from now, I want you to remember how it felt.

How it felt when your entire family was gathered for that vacation in the mountains. Dancing barefoot with your favorite person surrounded by all your favorite people in that fancy dress. These moments tell a story. And that is why I am a photographer.

To tell your story.

East & West: my wayfaring ways.

I am a traveller by heart and split my time between two places I call home; the East and the West. My 2008 Dodge Sprinter van that I built out myself, transports me back and forth between the places that I love and all the other destinations for work & play in between.

For most of the year, I live tucked amongst the mountains of Big Sky, Montana, skiing in the winters and mountain biking in the summers. But during the off season, I make the long journey back East to spend time with the people that I love in the places that I love; the family farm in Pennsylvania, the mountains of West Virginia and the shores of Virginia Beach.

I am regularly available for weddings & portrait sessions on the East Coast every October, while I live in Montana full time the rest of the year. If you think you’d like to work with me and wondering if I ever visit your city, drop me a line. If it’s a project or a session that inspires me, I will find a way to work you into my route ;)

I have my passport ready and my bag or van can be packed in 24 hours.

When I’m not behind a camera you will find me aspiring for 100 ski days each winter, bombing my bike down mountains or chasing sand & surf. One day I hope to live in my own perfect little cabin in the mountains and actually learn to cook instead of just making burnt messes in the kitchen.

Want to hire me to photograph your people or tell me about your upcoming project idea? I’ll be your biggest cheerleader. Drop me a note via my contact form.
