I'm constantly reminded of the beautiful places Earth has to offer. In early April, I had a chance to spend nine days on Kauai with my fiancée's family, and my gosh, that place is amazing. Its unique microclimates, lush vs dry landscapes, and majestic coastlines make it a 'must-visit' in my book. (Stay tuned for next week's newsletter on how to visit and things to do.) But you also don't have to fly 3,000 miles to see beauty. You can walk the neighborhood as spring blooms unfold, or stroll in a forest at sunrise to see beautiful light rays. However you are choosing to get outside, I hope it brings you joy. Earth Day 2025 - Limited Time Print Sale
So, I know I'm a bit late for Earth Day. But still, every day is Earth Day in my book. I've put together some of my favorite photos from the last year or so into this gallery to show off the rugged and beautiful work we live in. As a photographer, one of the best ways to support us is by buying prints. The harsh reality of photography is that it's an incredibly competitive market, and we often know that when we go out to take photos, it's for our passion and enjoyment, rather than for monetary gain. That said, I would be honored to have my work hanging in your home or office, or given as a gift. If you see something you like or want to support my work and help me continue to photograph new destinations, buying a print or sharing my work is a wonderful way to start. Better yet, if you know anyone who runs a company and needs to update their artwork, I'd be stoked to offer a bulk discount. These prints will be available until May 5.
If you don't see a photo you like, shoot me an email with a few locations you'd love to have on your wall, and maybe I've been there! I don't have many East Coast photos, but I have plenty from throughout the West Coast and our national parks.

It's been hectic, but my crazy May travel schedule is finally wrapped up. It was incredible but tiring. I went to Ireland, Yosemite, and Northern Idaho. And if you think I can now rest, ha, I wish. We're moving from Seattle to Denver in less than three weeks and have to figure out everything from moving and packing to handling the rest of life's challenges! But we're excited. Jaimie gets a fresh start at a new hospital, and I get to explore new mountains and trails, and bring you all the...
I returned from eight days in Ireland last weekend and thankfully only had two days of jetlag to overcome. It was an unbelievable experience. We saw castles, coastlines, lakes, and cliffs, and ate and drank our way through the country's southern half. This was my second time across the pond and I fell more in love with the country. It's an easy place to travel to and has fantastic amenities, food, and more. 7 Things To Mention About Ireland 1. The roads couldn't be narrower This isn't an...
Happiest of May to you all. The snow is melting, and backpacking trips are getting closer and closer. I wanted to create a gear guide to help those of you who plan to spend some nights under the stars. This is more or less everythign that I carry and recommend carrying. Usually, my pack weighs around 40-45 pounds which is under the 25% mark of my body weight. That's a good threshold to stay around as going over it can start to wear you down. Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll and my...
