Content Creator

For the past ten years I have worked as a "photographer with a story to tell." I have worked with local companies as well as numerous tourism departments + resorts + adventure travel brands. I regularly share my photos and stories with my audience of nearly 100,000 followers through my blog, Instagram and Facebook.

I am hooked on creating lively, story-telling content for brands that I believe in.
