As a freelance photojournalist and writer based in Montana, I delve into projects that explore the complexities of life in a rural mountain state. My recent work has focused on everything from the population boom in my hometown of Bozeman to political races and rallies to landmark journalism about the historic flooding of Yellowstone National Park. In addition, I hope my travel assignments convey my love for Montana and the West; in large part, this work is about capturing the beauty and authenticity of a changing landscape.
On the resume side: my work has been featured for 16 years by The New York Times, and also featured by titles such as The New York Times Magazine, the ACLU, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, NPR, Travel + Leisure and others.
Recent highlights include pandemic coverage of Montana's governor for
The New York Times, updates to personal photojournalistic projects, and several national feature stories.
