I was doing some spring cleaning today and found this poem handwritten by a dear friend on a piece of parchment, hidden behind a stack of books on my fireplace. I was brought back to last summer when she gave it to me. I read it a dozen times that night, crying harder than I ever...

Every photographer desires a muse. Odessa is mine. We met on a 5am photoshoot three years ago in Nashville and have been friends ever since. A shared apartment, European travels.

Her natural beauty and effortlessly chic style lent themselves beautifully to the story we created together. I was so lucky to...

Blue Bus / Boulder, CO
When I find myself on the road, I like to make it a point to share a meal with friends who live in the cities that I travel through. It was a sunny day in early May, when I met Amie and her blue bus downtown Denver, Colorado. A month earlier, when I...
