In-house social

Running brands from the inside

CurrentBouldering gym · Federal Way, WA

Climb NORA

I run social in-house for NORA: planning the content, shooting and cutting the reels, writing the posts, and putting ad money behind the ones that should travel further.

The content is built on what makes a gym feel like a community: real members and their stories, game nights, yoga, Team Battles. Specific people beat generic "New Year, New You" posts every time.

Ariel Rider E-Bikes

I used to run social for Ariel Rider end to end: the plan, the shoot, the edit, the caption, the post, and the replies after. I'm no longer with the company.

Behind the camera

Who I am, how I work with brands and teams, and how to get in touch.

About

I'm an adventure and lifestyle photographer and videographer based in Seattle.

I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, headed across the country at nineteen, and haven't looked back. My life and my work have been shaped by the same two things ever since: wanting to see what's next, and knowing exactly what I love.

Most of the year you'll find me on the road. Snowboarding the rugged terrain of Wyoming, bouldering deep in the Sierras, wandering the back roads of Montana, or hunting for alpine lakes in the remote corners of the Canadian Rockies. These days I live in a van full time, so the road is home now too.

The one constant is my camera. I use it to share how I live, and to build stories for the brands I work with, shaped around what each one actually needs to say. That work has run on a lot of brands' own social channels, where it's consistently pulled strong engagement.

I've worked with Orvis, ZippyPaws, Backcountry, Lincoln, BMW, Canon, Amazon, Fitbit, Aether Apparel, Nissan, LG, Arc'teryx, Herschel, Twitter, Timberland, CamelBak and the tourism boards of Canada, Alberta and Montana, among others.
