About Dave

Welcome to my photography collection, a visual journey through some of the remarkable landscapes I’ve been fortunate enough to experience and photograph along the way.

I’ve called the Pacific Northwest home my entire life and currently reside in Portland, Oregon, with my wife and adventure partner, Molly, our son, and our four-legged furry companions.

My passion for photography grew naturally from my love of the outdoors. The more time I spent exploring the mountains, forests, rivers, and coastlines of the Pacific Northwest, the more I wanted to capture the moments and places that stopped me in my tracks. I picked up a camera as a way to preserve those memories, and what began as a simple desire to record my adventures quickly became a passion for landscape photography.

Since then, photography has taken me throughout the American West. From the rugged mountains and dramatic coastlines of the Pacific Northwest, to the crystal clear shores of Hawai'i, out to the vast deserts and endless skies of the Southwest. I’m always searching for somewhere new to explore and a new, unique vantage to capture. Whether it requires an early morning wake-up, a few extra miles down an unfamiliar road, or simply the patience and willingness to spend hours waiting for the right light.

My photography is about more than capturing a beautiful place. It’s about capturing the feeling of being there. The fleeting light, the scale of the landscape, the sense of adventure, and those rare moments when everything comes together.

Through my work, I hope to bring a piece of those experiences into your home and inspire the same sense of wonder, escape, and connection to the outdoors that inspired me to press the shutter.
