I got my first camera in 2017 to capture my hike from Canada to Mexico on the Continental Divide Trail. I was hooked on Wyoming after that and have lived here seasonally almost every summer since.

The next year, I set out with a compass and a stack of maps to hike 800 miles from Arches to Zion. This route showed me places around Moab and southern Utah I never would have thought to explore, and I try to imbue my work with this sense of exploration.

My timeline living in Moab, UT and Jackson, WY is more meandering than the rivers that run through these places, but I’ve more or less lived in both places seasonally since 2018. I worked as a guide in Moab and in the national parks and shot brand photography gigs on the side. Now, I’m lucky enough to move between Utah and Wyoming, where my partner guides on the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park.

I work as a copywriter for evo, write hiking and travel guides for Field Mag and US News and World Report (you can read my giant Moab guide for US News here!) and take photos for Patagonia on the side. I also run communications for a very cool, supernatural thru-hiking podcast called Monarch, which I would recommend checking out even if you don’t book me to shoot your wedding. But tbh, you should probably do both.
