Merry Christmas from the mountains 🎄❄️

This little spruce was completely transformed by snowfall, proof that sometimes the best holiday decorations come straight from nature.

Have you ever had a photo shoot completely change course?

That’s exactly what happened to me at Sprague Lake. I went for sunrise, and ended up with front-row seats to a moose encounter. 🫎

🎥 New video coming soon, I can’t wait to share the full experience with you!

"Celestial Passage"

Captured two weeks ago in Rocky Mountain National Park, on a night when the stars put on an amazing show.

The Milky Way crosses the sky over Longs Peak and Glacier Gorge, creating a beautiful and unforgettable scene.

New Release: Cathedral of Stars 🌌

Captured during a moonless night in Rocky Mountain National Park, this image features Longs Peak beneath the rising Milky Way—symmetrical, peaceful, and immense.

This one was all about patience, timing, and letting the silence speak.

🌌 New Capture: Milky Way Core over Thatchtop

Last week I spent a calm, clear night in Rocky Mountain National Park and came home with this: the Milky Way core rising directly above Thatchtop.

You can spot the Lagoon and Trifid Nebula glowing faintly near the top left—just visible through the dark skies and crisp spring air.

Moments like these remind me why I keep returning to the mountains with a camera.
