Rocky Butte, Portland (2016)— one of those places where the city feels like a constellation pretending to be earthly. I love this shot because it captures exactly what Portland does best: soft twilight, endless trees, and a skyline that looks like it’s humming under its breath. Even the graffiti felt poetic, like someone else stood…

Cliffs of Dover (2019)—the kind of place that makes you rethink every dramatic moment you’ve ever had, because nothing competes with this level of dramatic scenery. The wind was wild, the drop was terrifying, and the view felt endless. There’s something grounding about standing somewhere so iconic and realizing, “Oh…this is why poets lose their…

Jessie & Ryan’s engagement photos at Frederick Meijer Garden (2020)—and honestly, this might be one of my favorite concepts we’ve ever pulled off together. They laid down, intertwined, and immediately started goofing around, turning their hands into a little frame like they were directing their own movie. It’s playful, it’s creative, and it feels exactly…

Luke & Lori’s 1-year wedding anniversary photos at Curwood Castle (2020)— featuring the world’s happiest Aussie absolutely convinced this shoot is about him. Honestly, he wasn’t wrong.He posed. He smiled. He sat perfectly between them like the living embodiment of “we are a package deal.” The leaves were falling, the castle looked dreamy, and their…

Polynesian Cultural Center, Hawaii (2016)—the night the drums shook the air, the crowd went quiet, and this performer absolutely owned the stage. There’s something about a luau that hits you right in the chest: the color, the rhythm, the storytelling woven into every movement. She was radiant, genuinely—like she wasn’t just performing, she was inviting…

Kansas City, Line Creek Trail (2022)—the day Rose looked majestic and feral and ready for adventure…and I looked like I was five minutes from joining the spirit realm. She thrived. I almost overheated and died. But look at her. Ears at full satellite-dish power. Tongue out. Living her best National Geographic life while I was…

Tower of London (2019)—proof that even the darkest corners know how to put on a light show. I’m obsessed with how this photo turned out: the cool blues pouring through the window, the warm golds clinging to the stone, that little pocket of green glowing like it’s keeping a centuries-old secret. It’s like the whole…

Jessie and Ryan (2018) — celebrating six years the only way that makes sense for them: by turning a movie theater into a popcorn snow globe. This little anniversary shoot was pure chaos in the best way. Popcorn everywhere, bad jokes, zero coordination, maximum joy. Honestly, this is the kind of energy every long-term relationship…

Village Park, Empire, Michigan — where the water looks like it forgot it’s a lake and decided to cosplay the Caribbean instead. I love the mix of textures here: the wild dune grass, the weathered fence, the bright turquoise stretching out like it has no business being in the Midwest. It’s one of those places…
