Welcome To My Portfolio

The best career advice I ever received was to do the things you loved to do as a child. I loved to tell stories. Sitting around the dinner table, I’d entertain my brothers and sisters by spinning ridiculous tales of adventure and juvenile delinquency. Here you will find a seat to that dinner table, so stay awhile. Or not, just be sure to excuses yourself, my mom runs a tight ship.

Photography

I often find myself behind a lens. Because a wise man once said, "Footage or fiction."

 

Layla isn’t a great bird dog, but who cares? These regal patches of land have much more to offer then the occasional woodcock or grouse. #leelanau

Isn’t this great? We can just pretend to have this perfect little life up North. Lets be real: last week I made a very dumb/expensive mistake kiteboarding, Layla ran into a car and I missed a deer with my bow. The list goes on but they’re small problems when put into perspective. At least our frustrations and failures have plenty of room to roam on this vibrant sandy peninsula. #michigan #leelanau
Summer’s fine and all but it could be fall all year round and I wouldn’t mind one bit. Nope. Not one bit. #gimmedatfoilage
In case you havn’t noticed @laura.lou9 is working her fanny off in the ceramics studio. I’m glad she’s using her talents to live the life she told me she wanted when we got married. Never one with words, her answer captures her artistic pursuits perfectly.... “I just want to make pretty things that people can have and use in their home. That’s all, not fame or fortune, I just wanna create art that makes people happy.” #pottery #ceramics #getahaircutdirtbag #notadirectquotebutyougettheidea
This is the summer I’ll tell my kids about on hot nights as ice cream runs down their chin. I’ll tell them of these sunburned weekends, meals with the people (and food) that mean the most and late night swims when I fell deeper in love with their mom, this land and this life.
