One of those weeks that reminds me why I love what I do! And definitely my busiest one of 2026 so far. Kicked things off in San Diego shooting lifestyle + studio photos for a new sunscreen brand, then straight to the airport and up the coast to Monterey/Big Sur. A couple days shooting there and the headed to Canada for the second leg of our @fjallravenofficial shoot with @haleproductionstudios Grateful for the work, the people, and the places this job takes me, but nothing beats getting back home to my family. Thanks to @alma.photography.studio @thecamdrew @amandaberwit @kirk.hensler @daystardawn @castandiron for some of the epic BTS photos and videos from the trip! The biggest shout out is to my amazing wife @melissameanss for holding it down and taking care of our kids anytime I’m gone for work ❤️

Some moments in between while shooting commercial water scenes on a perfect California winter day. Sometimes 120fps in horizontal is just good for the soul 🤙😅

Just wrapped up shooting for a dream brands campaign in some amazing locations this past week! Even with some tough weather in Canada, we got extremely lucky with pockets of high cloud ceilings and some game time pivots that worked out in our favor. It was easily one of the most memorable productions of my life so far getting to photograph @urbanclimbr on the coast in Big Sur and @castandiron on the Squamish River (who also cooked us steak and caribou chili right on the river that will forever be a core memory) These are the jobs I live for and I can’t wait to see this work out there because I’m truly proud of the images and team behind them @haleproductionstudios #fjallraven Photos by: @thecamdrew

Finally got out during a solid swell to shoot surf this winter. Lots of botched shots but here’s a few moments from a late morning swim #sandiego #surf #surfline #aquatech_imagingsolutions sonyalpha I had a small window after the kids school drop off and headed south hoping for clean conditions. Tide was high still, and I was already walking back to my car when I ran into @whattheschnell and starting catching up (Ryan’s definitely at the right place I would bet most of the time haha) and then I saw @nosedrain @waterworkmedia which was the ultimate push to get my gear and go shoot. A tad bit rushed because the waves were picking up, I forgot to adjust some autofocus settings and missed a few shots. but good to get out of there and be motivated by friends 🤙
