Endless gratitude to the team of humans that made this film possible, to all of the race/FKT crew members, and of course to Altra. We hope you enjoy it.

Paris on the Periphery is HERE! Pre-sale on my website begins one week from today - Tuesday, September 3rd at 12pm EST 😊 Big thanks to @mrbabcock and @deedscreative for helping me make this a reality.

Dear Mom, My greatest hope is that when people meet me they stop and say my, She’s just like her mother. Screen grabs from a long term doc project with my mom 💛 Happy Momma’s Day to all.

Tuck Fest 2026 for @usnwc 💫

Every human on the start line of Monday's Boston Marathon (@bostonmarathon ) had a story of how they arrived there. In a new kind of project for iRunFar, photojournalist Emily Cameron (@ecam44 ) set out to learn about her fellow runners’ inspirations as she ran her first Boston. (Congrats on your finish, Emily!) Run over to the link in iRunFar’s bio to enjoy several of those stories. And, well, because we think this sort of independent run journalism is important, we'd love it if you like, comment, and share this post!

Live from the Boston Marathon | A Photo Story 💙💛 On Monday I ran the Boston Marathon for the first time. I carried with me two important items all 26.2 miles - my Dad’s Boston medal from 1975 and my camera. I’ve heard all of the lore from my Dad + many others about what it means to run Boston, and after what I experienced Monday I can honestly say 4/20/2026 went down in the history books as one of my top 5 favorite days of living. Met a bunch of new friends, listened to some special Boston journey stories, and ran side by side with the wonderful @adriiennneper from start to finish exclaiming “WOW” every other minute. You don’t go to Boston just to race, you go to Boston to experience the very best parts of humanity that are present every step along the course.

First time capturing track & field since Paris and it was a pretty neat to see and shoot some world class athletes at the new UGA T&F facility. I wanted to use this opportunity to experiment in post with some new colors, so here we have it. It feels good to play!

Moments from year three at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships with @ugaswimdive :)

For the past three years I’ve gotten the chance to let my creativity run wild with the UGA Swim & Dive team leading into the NCAA Division I Championships. In 2024, I did my first underwater shoot using my incredible @aquatech_imagingsolutions housing. Last year, I decided to conduct the entire shoot after dark, lighting the water with only a single light, and after a ton of dreaming…this year’s theme was “Reflections”. I had big ideas and thanks to the help of my creative partner in crime @anna__brannon - those ideas came to life. After purchasing 20 different shapes and sizes of mirrors at our local craft store, turning my living room into a makeshift studio, and successfully not setting the fire alarm off, we did the thing. Every athlete had 30 minutes with us over a 7 hour day. 15 in the red studio with Anna, and 15 on the pool deck/in the water with me. Yet another incredible team effort for @solsticestudio.io || Part 1/2 ✨

As I’ve been coming down from the adrenaline of last weekend, when the film about my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike Ridgeline premiered on the big screen at @nomanslandfilmfestival in Denver, I’ve been feeling an unexpected sense of release. Six years ago hiking the PCT was a smidgen of an idea that turned into a dream, then a plan, then a 2,655 mile journey on foot. In fall 2024, an introduction to @anna__brannon turned into a phone call, which turned into a shared idea with @ecam44 , which turned into a collaboration with @mountainhardwear and a full-on film. On the very first day of my hike after tagging the southern terminus monument at the US/Mexico border, it became clear what my first nemeses would be: the heat and the uphill climbs. It also became clear what my best friend would be. The ridgeline, where there’s a cool breeze and easy cruising. A song idea popped into my head that first day and I recorded it into a voice memo: “Take me to the ridgeline…” Thinking about the ridgelines throughout the rest of the journey somehow made the hard parts feel less bad. It was a reminder that getting to the good stuff means persisting through the hard stuff. This became the theme of my journey, and the literal theme of the film, based on that little idea in a voice memo. I thought the story would be about setting a Fastest Known Time or not. But it became more about seeing the journey through, doing what I set out to do, and letting the story unfold for itself. Ridgeline premieres online tomorrow, Monday March 16, on Mountain Hardwear’s channels (link in bio!). I can’t wait to share my story and hope it resonates with anyone chasing their own wild dreams.

(1/2) We have these extremely pivotal before and after moments in life. Maybe it’s the before and after of meeting your soulmate, the before and after the death of a loved one. In this instance, for me, it’s the before and after documenting my best friend Abigail’s birth experience and the arrival of Miss Stella Azalea. It’s not often that a non-family member/partner is able to be a part of such an intimate experience, and when I asked Abigail & Michael months ago if I could photograph her home birth journey, they were really thrilled about the idea. We obviously had no idea when Stella would decide to begin her exit dance out of the womb, so life continued as normal and I moved forward working all the jobs I had planned in the meantime. I was in Kingsport, TN shooting a swim event when I got a 3am text that Abigail’s water broke. With the blessing of the coach I was working with (thank you Matt) - I left and drove back to Athens for what I expected to be a relatively short day ahead…haha jokes on me. I arrived at Hancock House and Abigail’s contractions were and had been 6-7 minutes a part for the better part of the day. She was so calm and collected. I started shooting right away - she was bouncing on a ball, making jokes, requesting Annie’s Mac n Cheese, refills of Hyperlyte etc. The energy began to shift around the midnight. Contractions were closer together, more intense, and different strategies were implemented between Abigail and Michael to get through each one. Gripping a comb, click. Bathtub, click. Michael squeezing her hips to relieve the pain that comes from this new concept I learned as “back labor”, click. The next 12 hours would prove to be maybe the most impactful of my life. I’ve seen Abigail enter into the pain cave as an endurance athlete many times, but this, this was something entirely different. And then there was Michael. Everyone who knows Michael knows what an incredibly sensitive, kind, and loving human he is. The midwife and doula (both of whom were also named Emily) and I were in tears multiple times watching Michael attempt to carry Abigail physically and emotionally through each contraction, each push.
