I'm a landscape photographer from the beautiful state of Colorado. Please join me in pursuing the wonderful outdoors and all of the treasures that nature has to offer.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

John Muir

With more and more people visiting our natural areas and enjoying these beautiful landscapes it’s important that we set a responsible example. I encourage all photographers to join this alliance and spread the word that we have a obligation to protect  these treasures.

I’m a proud member of Nature First. I feel it’s important not only for photographers but anyone that spends time in the out of doors to follow the principles of leave no trace.

Nature First is built on 7 core principles to help us enjoy nature photography responsible.

THE NATURE FIRST PRINCIPLES

  1. Prioritize the well-being of nature over photography.

  2. Educate yourself about the places you photograph.

  3. Reflect on the possible impact of your actions.

  4. Use discretion if sharing locations.

  5. Know and follow rules and regulations.

  6. Always follow Leave No Trace principles and strive to leave places better than you found them.

  7. Actively promote and educate others about these principles
