What's the most unexpected piece of gear that has saved a shoot for you? Mine was a trash bag for rain. 😂

Editing day is less about work and more about reliving the hike. Anyone else? Caffeine level calibration is critical. ☕

A little winter #throwback to pastel dawns and aurora-lit nights in Levi, Finland earlier this year. This trip truly made me a fan of winter travel forever and I honestly can't wait for our next adventure to the Arctic. ❄️ 🦌 🌌

That moment when the light is exactly right and you know you just bagged a keeper. Pure magic. What's your favorite light: dawn, sunset, blue hour, golden hour, something else?

I'm treating this entire post-Thanksgiving weekend as a meditation on stillness (i.e., hiding from people). What are you working on that requires deep, quiet concentration? 🧘 #Phography #Creativity #Mindfulness

Hey it is Thanksgiving after all: I'm thankful for fog that rolls in and makes everything look dramatic and brooding. Can't wait to soak up the ultimate version in Scotland soon. What is the one natural element you are grateful for right now? 🙏 #Photography #LandscapePhotography

A little slice of beautiful Vernal Falls in #Yosemite 🩵 I wanted to get tighter framing on the falls to capture more of those wonderful details you could just stare at for hours.

Which photography genre do you secretly wish you were a master of? I crave the glamour and intimacy of portraiture, and have certainly dabbled in it, but lately the mountains call. ⛰️ #Photography #LandcapePhotography

What's the best way to quiet the inner voice that whispers, "This has all been photographed before"? I need a strong banishment spell. 🤫 #PhotographerMindset #Photography

I only call it 'cropping' when I'm feeling charitable. Usually, it's just correcting my mortal compositional sins. Who else relates? 💀 #Composition #PhotographyStruggles

I've been playing with these portals lately, which has been a fun experiment in looking at landscapes with a potential framing or negative space in mind. Also, I'm just a sucker for a lone tree on a hillside, let's face it 🌲
