I've spent two decades helping destinations tell their stories. Now I tell them through the lens.

Before I ever picked up a camera professionally, I was deep in destination marketing—working with visitor bureaus, tourism boards, and the people whose job it is to make you fall in love with a place. I learned what makes a destination image actually work: not just beautiful, but true. The kind of photograph that makes someone book the trip.

These days, I spend 100+ nights a year on the road. My 4Runner and overland trailer have become a mobile basecamp, chasing light from West Texas canyons to Pacific coast fog. I shoot with a Nikon Zf because I like gear that feels intentional—mechanical, deliberate, built to last.

I'm based in Fort Worth, but "based" is a loose term. Home is wherever I've parked for the night, boots off, editing the day's work while the coffee's still hot.

What I'm after isn't the postcard shot. It's the one that captures why a place matters—the texture, the quiet, the specific quality of light at 6 AM when no one else is awake yet.

This is where the work lives.
