Sieur de Monts
Acadia national park
Initially designated as Sieur de Monts National Monument in 1916, Acadia was the first National Park established east of the Mississippi. This serene wilderness was created via private lands gifted to the public through the efforts of conservation-minded citizens. A testament that we as a collective can preserve beautifully wild places like this for the generations that follow.

Mako Sica
Badlands national park
For hundreds of years, the Lakota people have called this area mako sica, which translates to “bad lands". The jagged canyons and buttes that cover the landscape also made it hard to navigate and difficult to survive. Rapid erosion takes on the role of a silent artist, molding the breathtaking formations faster than you might think.

Glacier national park
Nothing quite compares to the beautifully wild landscape of Glacier...but it's changing rapidly. Some scientists estimate the glaciers will be gone in our lifetime. As the massive ice sheets recede, they leave behind questions about how the places most affected by climate change can retain their sense of identity.

Westward
Grand Teton national park
Westward is about taking a leap of faith and committing to the things that I love. With no camping experience, my soon to be fiancé and I headed for the mountains. Westward is about committing to not just my craft and the love of my life, it's about choosing to love the entire journey, no matter what direction you are headed.

By The Sea
Seattle, WAshington
In the heart of the city lies Pike Place Market, a vibrant urban tapestry that's woven itself into the city's vibrant history since 1917. Here, the importance of shared spaces is palpable, with all walks of life fostering connections, conversations and commerce. An archetypal place showcasing the vital importance of community bonds.
Where Photography Meets Advocacy
We all want to see the world. We all desire to step outside of our immediate surroundings to feel, to connect and to better understand the world around us. A deeper understanding that transcends the superficial and makes us a part of a larger narrative.
The story I so desperately want to tell of our parks and communal places can't be told by one person. The beautiful places we share is a story rooted in connectedness—one that we all can play a part in.
My narrative isn't just about advocacy; it's a moral responsibility to convey the beauty, fragility, and the imperative need for their preservation.
I don't want to simply share photos and call it a day. I want my work to spark a thought in you about why these places are an integral part of our collective conscious and well-being—and why we need to so passionately protect them. Join me on this hike and let's start the conversation, together.
