Alaska has unrivaled quiet beauty and sure adventure, two things that made me jump out of bed with the morning sun. These photos were taken in the back country near Seward, where I encountered golden eagles, a black bear crossing a stream, orca whales, sea lions and (to my surprise) jelly fish! Seward is surrounded by mountains, glaciers and dreamy clouds. Here’s to a Happy New Year filled with new beauty and new adventures!

I photographed siblings Grace & Jack in Denver’s RiNo (River North) district near Five Points, and we had a blast just like last year at their portrait session with their mom Jo Anne. The graffiti and wall art are endless here, making for some great backdrops (and great fun).

Isabelle, aka Sweet Pea, is a curious and absolutely adorable little girl. She’s already adventurous (I think she’s going to be a climber) and loves exploring. These 1-year portraits were taken in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, where her gorgeous mom Rachel had both Isabelle and I both cracking up.

On some of my recent travels I hiked at Mt. Whitney in California, the highest peak in the lower 48 states. Here are a few photographs I took on and around the Mt. Whitney Portal area. While I was hoping for some dramatic clouds (like in the ever-changing Colorado skies), the crisp blue skies were still stunning next to this incredible range.
