A peek inside my latest commercial photography project — luxury residential exteriors for Vilhauer Construction, a premier Pacific Northwest home builder crafting breathtaking custom homes in Washington State.

When Loma Living sent me their Modular Custom Charging Dock to photograph, I didn't have to fake enthusiasm — I genuinely use it now. As a photographer with approximately one million devices that all need charging simultaneously, this thing is a revelation. A few clean, high-end shots was the brief. Styling it with my own glasses, my PNW landscape phone wallpaper, and a journal I sell with my own art on the cover? That part was just fun.

ORCA Coolers wanted a hunting-themed lifestyle campaign — rugged, real, and rooted in the outdoors. I pulled together models, props, a full campsite setup in the woods, and one secret weapon: my dog Jasper, who is available to model and is, for the record, a very good boy. This is the kind of shoot I was made for.

Elder Master John Keller has been practicing Shaolin kung fu longer than most people have been alive, and it shows in every single frame. I headed to Idaho Shaolin for a simple website update — a few dynamic poses, a headshot, a featured student — and walked away with some of the most effortlessly compelling martial arts images I've shot.

I was brought in by VSA Partners to photograph Guerdon Modular Buildings — and the reason they gave for hiring me stuck with me: they wanted images that were warm and authentic, and a photographer who could get the best out of people. Walking into Guerdon's factory and watching entire buildings take shape under one roof, I understood immediately why the story of the people behind this process was the one worth telling.

Being hired by Fallon Agency to photograph The Cazadero for a KeyBank small business campaign was one of those projects that checks every box — a meaningful story, a stunning Pacific Northwest setting overlooking the Clackamas River, a kitchen full of personality, and a steak salad that genuinely stopped me in my tracks. This one was a good day at work.

An Oregon river, handmade resin jewelry, and models who brought their full selves to the frame — here's a behind-the-scenes look at my shoot for Cameoko, and why representation in commercial photography matters to me personally.

When a New York jewelry brand ships you your own birthstone to photograph, you say yes immediately. Here's a look at the styled product shoot I did for Azura Jewelry NYC — dreamy amethyst rings, pendants, and a whole lot of purple.

Portland just got its first wine spa — and I got to photograph the magic. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the commercial shoot I did for The Wine Spa PDX, capturing facials, vinotherapy treatments, and their iconic wine bath.

Hand-woven, weighted, and made for serious cuddling — I spent a day in a Portland bungalow photographing Kawaii Blankets, and it was exactly as cozy as it sounds.

A selfie studio — where guests come to create their own content — hired me to create theirs. Here's what it was like photographing one of the most visually electric brand shoots I've done in a while.
