Quick family portrait done this morning - timed the sun just right after all the rain and the toddler's nap schedule, to give us a beautiful 34 minute window of joy! This was this family's first professional portrait session to create some surprise print presents this Holiday season. 📷 🛎️

Visual bits from Tilghman from the weekend 📷 Those flowers/tomatoes are from Tilghman Island Country Store - Patricia’s beautiful garden… mine’s been over run by passion flowers this year but the native muscadines are learning to climb the new arbor.🍇

I did an Outward Bound dog-sledding program one spring break during college in the boundary waters and finished my undergrad at University of Minnesota, so I have a special love for the state & my buddies who live there. This Substack is great to keep up on photojournalism. 🛶

At a Minnesota summer camp, a submerged fleet shows how climate risk is rewriting the visual language of “wilderness adventure.”
