Blog.
Through my lens and words, this blog is a space where I share my experiences exploring wild landscapes, coastal escapes, and hidden gems. My photography is guided more by instinct than by rules - grounded in what moves me, not just what looks good on print. I’m drawn to quiet scenes, raw textures, and the in-between moments that often go unnoticed. Each frame is less about technical perfection and more about capturing a feeling.
From the rugged shores of California to the vast beauty of the Southwest, I document my journeys with an eye for detail, atmosphere, and the subtle stories that unfold along the way. Whether you’re a fellow adventurer, a photography enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates the beauty of the outdoors, I hope these reflections inspire you to explore more, slow down, and see the world with fresh eyes.
Check back often for travel stories, photography insights, and the ever-changing heart of the places I love.
Morro Bay Adventure: Sea Otters, Elephant Seals & Monarch Butterflies Along California’s Coast
Took a trip up the coast for two reasons: birthday festivities and, of course, sea otters.
The focal point of Morro Bay is the ancient volcanic mound sitting at the end of Morro Rock Beach. The area is great for spotting sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, marine birds, and even the occasional whale passing through. We spent time watching the otters float effortlessly on their backs, twisting seaweed around themselves like nature’s own anchoring system. Local businesses like the Estero Inn rent out electric boats that are perfect for cruising the bay.
