Photographer & Designer

Seattle, WA

I'm a photographer/designer based in Seattle, Washington. I recently moved to the PNW from Washington, DC and have been enjoying getting to know the area.

I specialize in outdoor lifestyle and landscape photography, and am also available for portrait sessions, weddings and engagements, as well as commissions and other events. 

I also do web design, graphic and visual design, and I’m starting to get into video production and editing. So lets have a chat about all the thing I can help you with!

I remember seeing Bryce Canyon with a dusting of snow in a textbook in elementary school, and I always wanted to see it like that. We missed Bryce on our Summer ‘16 road trip, but we are here now and with a lot more than just a dusting (they said there was 51” of snow on the ground)
Bad weather forced us to cancel camping in the canyon but it cleared up enough today to get some amazing views on our hike down

Between film class projects, design projects, work, and doggo research, I haven’t shot much recently. So here’s an older one I came across the other day that I meant to share and never did.
It’s funny how time and distance can make something ordinary and unremarkable interesting and beautiful again. The last couple times I’ve gone back to Florida I’ve really been appreciating the nature and outdoor scenery that are very different from the DC and PNW a lot more than when I was growing up there. It’s still too hot, though.
There are times that I miss working at @dhsgov in cybersecurity helping secure the federal network. Right now is not one of those times. I have a lot of friends and old coworkers that are affected by this idiotic government shutdown with no end in sight. People are either told they can’t come in to work, or are working but without pay. I was a contractor, as are many people I worked with, and unlike the federal employees, they won’t get backpay. They will never be made whole. You just burn through whatever vacation you’ve got saved up and hope for the best. I went through the same thing in the 2013 shutdown that lasted 13 days, where fortunately for me, it was a couple months before my wedding and I had a bunch of extra PTO saved up for my honeymoon. This one could potentially go on for a lot longer, due to the President being a complete jackass, and how many people are going to get eviction notices, how many families will suffer from downgraded credit scores for missing mortgage payments? I think about the cafe workers in our office building, or the people at Booeymongers that depend on all the government workers eating lunch there. When nobody is showing up, they get their hours cut. And if they are just getting by on minimum wage in an expensive place like DC metro area, how long can they go before things go down hill? Those people don’t get backpay, and are totally screwed over. For a goddamn wall that can be cut through with a $40 power saw, and would do absolutely nothing to improve border security? These people’s lives are being ruined all because the president is scared of ghouls like Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter will turn his ever-shrinking base against him. Do your damn job @senatemajldr and bring CR bills to a vote in the senate. Debate the stupid f’ing wall on its merits and not with millions of Americans held hostage.
Civilization proceeds in a direction opposite from everything mountains represent: starvation, hardship, coldness, the constant scramble to survive...People used to avoid mountains, but now we seek their company. We come for the pretty sights, but also to find a place still free from those life-saving constraints. We come to the mountain seeking beauty and terror. -Bruce Barcott
No snow in Seattle, so drove to the mountains for a white Christmas ❄️

I’m very hungry but don’t want to get out of bed so I’m procrastinating by posting this photo
