I started driving my parent’s car home from school at age 8. Growing up on a dirt road in rural Montana I really wanted to go somewhere. For these early years, the twenty minute drive to and from school was it. To entertain myself I trimmed it down in increasingly fast joyrides to my record of twelve minutes as I dreamt of bigger places.

Fortunately for that kid, a career in photography and directing has taken me all over the world, working in New York, Tokyo, Paris and beyond. I have had the opportunity to work with brands like Chanel and Gucci and musicians such as Snoop Dogg and Beck. My work has been featured in publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, and Teen Vogue.

The most special part of the work is telling stories and working with people that are as excited as me to bring them to life. I love working with light and finding the perfect locations to shape these narratives, creating sensitive and dynamic imagery.

I am currently developing a tv show, working on my first feature, and trying to pet every animal I encounter with my toddler.
