If my fave projects of 2025 had their own feed… WHEW I’ve been MIA because honestly I was just enjoying the holidays. But I’m excited to be back working toward another awesome year!! First, a quick recap of some of my favorite projects I worked on during 2025… As always, I’m endlessly grateful for all the wonderful opportunities I’ve been entrusted with 🙏 Thanks for following the journey. Only better from here.

photo walk crew 📸🤘 I had a great time hiking around with this group on Saturday, sharing a bit about photography along the way. This experience was especially cool because I first picked up a camera exactly 10 years ago, while roadtripping to Yosemite and back. Never would’ve thought 10 years later I’d be making a living with a camera, and teaching others how to use theirs. Much love to the @ocmulgeemoundsassociation team for bringing me out there!! We may run this back, so if you missed this one, be on the lookout (or sub to my quarterly newsletter where I share stuff like this!) 💛

TOMORROW! I’m stoked and blessed to be leading a photo walk at one of my favorite places 📸 If you want to join, it’s not too late! It’s an @ocmulgeemoundsassociation members-exclusive event, but all that means is paying a $25 fee which gets you other perks, too 🙌 Limited space, so hmu if you want that sign up link. Huge thanks to everyone who has already reserved a spot. Looking forward to hiking around with y’all tmw!! 🤘

A few favorites from this year’s @ocmulgeemoundsassociation Lantern Light Tours ✨ This is my 4th year photographing this event, and as a blue hour / nighttime photography lover, it’s always so much fun. I’ve always thought that having a model would be helpful - I usually gravitate toward candid, authentic moments, but needing to produce clean, crisp images in lowlight, no flash, and with moving subjects is something I don’t have time for 😭 Anyway, I’m thankful @carly.matthews lent me a bit of her time to help me capture these images and shout out @visitmacon for putting me on the job 🤘 **Oh also I’m leading a photo walk in this park this upcoming Saturday!!! For @ocmulgeemoundsassociation members only (sign up is so cheap and includes tix to this lantern tour next yr).

Some fave images from this year’s @pinkestparty ! 🌸 I’m justtttt about wrapped up with these photos and I’m proud of what I was able to capture/create. Each year, this photo assignment is one of my biggest, most involved (stressful), and most fun. What results is a collection of images that I hope inspires people to come visit this awesome city! Endless thanks to @visitmacon for having me out there, trusting my vision, and supporting me along the way. And shout out @carly.matthews for being my (these days, not so) impromptu model for many of the images! 🤘
