MY PHOTOGRAPHY

If I'm traveling, I'm taking photos.
If I'm in nature, I'm taking photos.
If there is a gathering, I'm taking photos.

....you get the idea.

NATURE COLLECTIONS

MOUNTAIN TRAFFIC

Crested Butte, Colorado

These photos capture the ultimate road trip vibes, starring a laid-back herd of cows owning the mountain road. Surrounded by epic views, they’re in no hurry to step aside—just taking their time and soaking it all in.

GOLDEN HOURS ON QUIET WATERS

Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

This series showcases the tranquility of a fall camping trip at Red Feather Lakes, just outside Fort Collins.

 

The highlight was kayaking on still waters, both at sunset and during the day, surrounded by stunning mountain views and peaceful reflections—an ideal nature escape.

BEFORE THE STORM

National Forest, Wyoming

This photo series captures the quiet before the storm in Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. While exploring near our campsite, we watched as dark storm clouds gathered on the horizon at dusk. A barren tree stood alone in the open space, its stark silhouette a perfect contrast to the wild, changing skies.

FUNGI IN THE WILD

Colorado

Early morning in the Colorado mountains is the perfect time to discover the hidden treasures of the forest floor. This series captures the vibrant and diverse world of mushrooms—from bright red beauties to clusters shaped like tiny fingers, and a family of fungi sprouting beneath a rotting log.

COLORADO, UNFILTERED

Rocky Mountains, Colorado

After two decades of calling Colorado home, I’ve developed a deep love for its landscapes. These photos capture just a glimpse of the peaks, lakes, and trails that I’ll always cherish. Nature’s playful side often adds a little humor to the journey, so I’ve included a few shots that may feel suggestive—because the land has its own way of making me smile. I’ve also included some of my favorite hiking memories with my family, exploring these stunning places together and making memories with each step.

PEOPLE COLLECTIONS

PERFECTLY AWKWARD

University of Denver Campus

When one of my dearest friends asked me to take some awkward family photos, I happily obliged.

 

These shots capture the funny, quirky moments that made the experience so memorable. From awkward poses to unexpected smiles, these photos show the charm of letting go of perfection and just having fun with the moment.
