“I moved up here in 2017 for a travel contract at the hospital but immediately fell in love with the views and decided to become a permanent resident. I also commercially fished in Bristol Bay on a drift boat for 6 seasons. I fell in love with photography on my solo hikes and have now expanded to wedding and portrait photography, but landscape will always be my first love.
I strive to show Alaska in its most natural form. My edits allow the colors to pop without looking unreal in comparison to their original RAW images.”
