About Me

For more than twenty‑five years, the Pacific Northwest coast has been my home — a place where salt air, shifting tides, and evergreen forests shape the rhythm of daily life. Living here has taught me to slow down and pay attention to the details most people pass by: the way fog settles into the trees, how storm light transforms the shoreline, the quiet persistence of moss and lichen. Those small, living textures are what first pulled me toward photography, and they continue to guide my work today.

I’m a landscape and nature photographer with a deep love for all things botanical. From tide‑pool ecosystems to windswept coastal pines, from delicate understory ferns to the wildflowers that appear for just a moment each year — I’m endlessly fascinated by the plant life that defines this region. My camera is often pointed as much at the forest floor as it is at the horizon. To me, the story of a landscape is told through its living details.

My approach is rooted in patience, curiosity, and a willingness to return to the same places again and again. I’m not chasing dramatic perfection; I’m chasing authenticity — the honest mood of the Pacific Northwest in all its shifting weather and quiet drama. I want my images to feel like standing in the middle of it: the damp air, the muted colors, the sense of something ancient and alive.

When I’m not out exploring, you’ll usually find me studying field guides, tending to my own collection of plants, or planning my next outing based on what’s blooming or changing with the season. This landscape has shaped me, and my photography is my way of honoring the connection I feel to it.

If you’re drawn to the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest — its forests, its coastlines, its botanical wonders — I’d love to share that world with you through my work.
