Stories Captured 1/3200 of a Second at a Time.

This photograph marks where my journey truly began. As the sun set over Lake Pend Oreille, I didn't realize I was capturing more than a sunset. I was capturing the moment that would change the way I saw the world. Every photograph in this gallery is part of the journey that began that evening, and I hope these images encourage you to pause, look a little closer, and discover the beauty that surrounds us every day.

Sunset over a body of water with mountains in the background and boats near a dock, with silhouette umbrellas in the foreground.
