2025 Winter Update Newsletter
Please see a copy of my recent email newsletter below and if you’d like to receive future ones please use the signup link at the bottom of this page.
I hope your 2025 is off to a great start. Winter in Colorado is one of my favorite times to reflect, recharge, and dive into new projects. This season, I’ve been balancing work both in front of and away from the lens.
My winter kicked off with an assignment for Atlas Obscura and Colorado Tourism, capturing unique businesses and destinations around Colorado. I’ve also returned for another season of part-time ski work at Telluride, a role that keeps me connected to the local outdoor community and gives me an excuse to ski a lot.
While I spend a lot of time behind the computer in the winter, I also have ski hut trips, smaller winter adventures, and the rest of the year's travel to plan for. I’ve been starting to prepare a lot of content to share with you on photography, outdoor gear, travel, and more, so please check my newest updates below and stay tuned for more.
As always, you also can see my latest work and travels on Instagram and Facebook.
Thank you for your support!

2024 in Review: A Year of Adventure
This past year was filled with remarkable journeys, from capturing auroras in the San Juans, exploring ancient sites in the Southwest, and trekking through endless tundra in the Yukon. I’ve recapped my travels, highlights, and reflections in a new blog post.
New Photo Prints Now Available
This year marks an exciting change for my photography business—I’m now personally crafting my own prints. After years of only being able to offer lab made prints I’ve embraced the hands-on process of producing gallery-quality prints right here in my studio. I will still continue to offer large mounted metal and acrylic prints labs, but I’m excited to make my own prints up to 16”x24”.
Creating these prints myself allows me to ensure every detail reflects the vision I had when capturing the image. I’ve spent the last year selecting the best paper and working on a print process that allows me to ensure the colors, textures, and details reflect the moment I experienced in the field. This hands-on approach feels like an extension of my creative vision and each piece is a labor of love and connection to the landscapes that inspire me.
I hope these handcrafted prints bring the beauty of the outdoors into your home and inspire your own adventures.
📚 What I’m Reading
In his article, “Geotagging, Gatekeeping, and Responsible Location Sharing in Landscape Photography” Matt Payne discusses the unintended consequences of geotagging on social media. He shares personal experiences, similar to my own, where sharing specific locations led to environmental degradation from increased visitation. Matt covers much of what I believe when it comes to sharing locations, as well as the ethical and moral decisions we face when photographing in the wilderness.
High Country News recently published an article on Utah’s lawsuit against the federal government, seeking control of millions of acres of public land. This effort undermines protections for public lands and could lead to privatization, limiting access and increasing environmental harm.
As someone who relies on and deeply values these lands for my work and recreation, I believe this lawsuit represents a short-sighted approach that prioritizes economic interests over conservation. Public lands are a shared resource, and preserving them is critical for future generations and the ecosystems they support.
If you made it all the way down here thank you for reading and have a great week. And don’t forget, I’m always happy to hear from you! Feel free to reply to this email with your thoughts or questions.
