So I am thinking about having some soft comfy hoodies made.... I just wanted to see if I can get enough interest, and I'll get a pre-order started.

WOULD YOU BUY ONE?

New video out on YouTube!!! See link in Reels under Drone Work!

Took a day trip to the beach, fully expecting it to be raining and cold.... but it turned out to be the most magical day! I could not have asked for a better day to reconnect to my spirit. Stuck my toes in the sand and grounded myself in the best possible way. Enjoy those simple yet profound moments and lose yourself.

Front row right behind the log for the home opener.... doesn't get much better than this!

I got invited to come shoot at a boxing event a few days ago. It was my first time shooting boxing, but wow was that fun!!! It didn't take me long to find my groove and capture some great images. Let me know what you think in the comments!

A little behind the scenes shooting product stuff with Alexander... going to go shoot at the airsoft field next!

Well that was fun... I got invited to go shoot some photos at a boxing event in Hillsboro today. I like shooting boxing, that was a ton of fun!!! Official edits coming soon...

Always soooo cool to see a bunch of my drone footage, hand held and in car footage being used by Dirtfish!!! You want to know what Rallycross is... watch this!!! Soooo rad...

Event photography is something I really enjoy doing, but I don't get to do as often as I'd like. Here are a few of my favorite shots of that I took a while back at

Working my way through all the clients from RX Fest. Unfortunately it's taking me just a little longer than expected to get through them all and out to everyone. Please be patient and know I am getting close to having them all sent out!

Couple edited shot from RX Fest 2022 in Snoqualmie Wa. Such a fun event with all the rally fam.

And this is why I always use Tempered Glass screen protectors... took a rock to the lens and cracked the protector but the ND16 is just fine... I have about 8 of these in my drone bag at all times... Soooo worth the 9 or 10 bucks for that piece of mind!!!!

I truly love the photo editing process. I usually start off in Lightroom for my core edit and color, then off to Photoshop for some minor spot corrections and depth control with tools I just don't have in Lightroom. While I didn't use it on this image, I will sometimes even take stills into After Effects to add minor embellishments like glints and glimmers using the Video CoPilot, Optical Flares plugin, but I keep it extremely subtle. Most of the time I spend about 30 to 45 minutes per image editing in various programs, it is just my personal process and it works for me. I have always tended to edit my images with a darker mood and really try to draw the eye through the image to the subject without the viewer realizing what I'm doing. In this respect I really try to set myself apart from other photographers and put in that extra work.

Here are a few more shots from season opener in Lind Wa. This is Jasper and his CanAm from throwing up some dirt and dust! Enjoy...
