I have been privileged to photograph families, engagements, graduation photo's, and weddings.

I love to photograph landscapes and bring home the beauty that I am privileged to see. My favorite moments as a photographer are when I can combine a beautiful landscape with beautiful people that I photograph.

In loving memory of Alien Throne
Valley of Dreams, New Mexico. For years this fragile hoodoo held its seat against wind and weather — thin as lace underneath, solid as a throne on top. Photographers hiked for it. I was lucky enough to stand in front of it at sunset and watch the light pour through those windows. Heavy rains finally brought it down in late October. Nature finished what it started a long time ago.

Grateful these frames exist. Some places don’t last forever — that’s part of why we go. Rest well, old friend.

Sometimes, it’s just the simple things. A single leaf. On an old piece of wood. A little color against a world of gray. Nothing extraordinary, yet somehow extraordinary.
Photography has taught me that beauty doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes, it’s quietly waiting for us to slow down long enough to notice—and to recognize the gentle presence of something greater in the ordinary.
There is a quiet spirituality in these small moments, a reminder that grace can be found in the simplest details when we pause, breathe, and pay attention.

Provo Canyon at sunset, looking toward Utah Valley. Fall here doesn’t whisper; it just shows up and paints the whole canyon. We really do live in a beautiful state.

When two seasons collide. There’s something magical about that brief moment in the Wasatch Back when autumn refuses to let go and winter begins making its presence known.
Golden aspens stretch across the mountainsides, fresh snow blankets the peaks, and dramatic storm clouds remind us that change is in the air. These are the moments that make me grateful to call this place home. Sometimes, the best show on earth is right in your own backyard.

There really is nothing like the Tetons in the fall...the only way it was better is it was with her. Laura Lewis Calder

Delicate by name. Not so delicate by nature. ⚡️Recently, the desert put on one incredible show. Sometimes you go looking for a photograph. Sometimes you’re simply lucky enough to be standing there when the moment finds you.

What a shoot! 📸🔥

I had an awesome time working with the Payson Drill Team. We had an ambitious plan—three different locations in a little over three hours—and these girls absolutely brought it.

We moved fast, worked hard, chased the light, and made every location count. The result? Some seriously great images.

I love working with people who show up ready to work, trust the process, and bring great energy to a shoot. That combination always seems to create something special.

Huge thanks to the Payson Drill Team for trusting me and being willing to put in the work. Three locations. Three hours. One incredible group. 📸

There’s something special about experimenting with light, movement, and a group of talented athletes willing to create with you.

I had such a great time photographing the Wasatch Drill Team and pushing beyond the traditional team photos. We played with light, slowed down the shutter, added movement, and experimented with ways to capture not just what they look like, but what they feel like when they perform.

Drill is already art in motion—my goal was to let the photography become part of that art.

Some experiments work. Some surprise you. And every once in a while, light and motion come together and create something you couldn’t have completely planned.

Thanks, Wasatch Drill, for trusting the process and being willing to play with light with me. This is the kind of photography that keeps me excited to create.

I honestly didn’t think I was going to get much out of the Perseid Meteor Shower that night. So I spent the evening doing what I love: night photography in Goblin Valley. Before heading to bed, I figured I’d give the meteor shower a shot. I set my camera on the tripod, pointed it toward the stars, programmed it to keep taking long exposures until the battery gave out…and went to bed. The next morning, I started going through the images.

I was shocked.

Hundreds of shooting stars streaked through my photographs. It was like God’s laser show across the sky. But one thing really surprised me: pay attention to the horizon. When we watch a meteor shower, our instinct is to stare straight overhead. But some of the most dramatic meteors I captured were lower in the sky, streaking toward the horizon. Against the dark shapes and strange hoodoos of Goblin Valley, those were some of my favorite frames. So next time you’re out watching a meteor shower, don’t just look up. Watch the horizon too.
Sometimes the best part of the show isn’t directly above you—it’s where heaven seems to meet the earth. After watching this 100 times, I noticed a larger shooting star with smoke trailing around seconds 4- 6...to the right of the Hoodoo. See second video
