Hello! I’m a freelance photojournalist and documentary photographer splitting my time between Terlingua in the Big Bend and Austin, Texas.

Working at the intersection of climate and conservation with the people most intertwined.

Whether I’m traveling Texas telling familiar stories, covering a natural disaster or getting intentionally lost outside, I always strive to leave the people who let me into their lives feeling seen, respected and cared for.
