When I started my "career" as a photographer, I wasn't sure on where things would go. One thing that I did know however is that I was willing to push myself to make it happen no matter what. It's been 7 years now and a move across the country later.


Pretty picture guy, as my friend Tanner calls me.


I've been fortunate enough to work with some incredibly talented people across different industries and am very thankful for every one of those opportunities.


One of which was the Jackson Hole History Museum that was recently named one of the top six architectural projects of 2025 nationwide by The Wall Street Journal designed by HGA and Prospect Studio.



When you shoot sunrise in the morning during the winter, it's not an easy task. So, I left Alpine at I think 4am driving through a snow storm 40 minutes to make it there to catch that perfect light. I had tried two other times but we wanted there to be new snow on the Museum sign and rooftop. The previous times it had been too warm in the morning after a snowfall and wasn't what we had hoped for. And yes, multiple times I left Alpine at 4am in a snow storm. Worth it.


We put together a video a few months prior as well while Albert Vecerka shot the incredible imagery during the fall.


Another notable was a project that I worked on with GYDE Architects that was seen in Architectural Digest just a couple months ago. Styling by the incredibly talented Julie Smith.

Here is the write-up.


Last project before I sign off -


When I first started fishing, I never expected to be making fishing films. A short film that I directed, filmed, and edited came out and was well received in May for Trout Unlimited and The Caribou-Targhee National Forest. I'm currently working on another one that will come out in the spring 2026.


All of this is to just say I'm grateful for anyone who has trusted me with their projects or business in any capacity. Thank you so much. It's a dream to be able to do what I love and work with so many pursing the same.


Looking forward to 2026 and beyond.
