Growing up in the suburbs of DC, my family escaped the summer heat by retreating to the cool mountain air of Shenandoah National Park. We searched for black bears along Skyline Drive, picnicked under the trees at Elk Wallow, and collected leaves along the trails. My dad documented all of our adventures on film, and I do the same today with a digital camera as I revisit and rediscover these places close to home. My landscapes of Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Shenandoah are inspired by these early experiences in nature. I hope they evoke a sense of calm and appreciation for our natural and nearby world.

In 2018, I began exhibiting my landscape photography in local galleries, and in 2024, I was accepted into Multiple Exposures Gallery, a 15-member fine art gallery at the Torpedo Factory. My photographs have been juried into exhibits at The Art League, Maryland Federation of Art, Hill Center, and PhotoPlace Gallery. My images have appeared in online publications by the National Park Service, the Trust for the National Mall, and Outdoor Photographer magazine, and in print publications by American Forests and Tudor Place. In recent years, I’ve collaborated with other photographers on two zines, Up the Creek and Captured: Plants and Place, as well as a book, Magic in the Wilderness.

For the past 11 years, I’ve documented milestones and occasions for couples and families in the Washington, D.C. area. View my portrait work here.
