Namibia is the perfect playground to flex your creative muscles — deep orange dunes, minimal landscapes, and some of the wildest dirt roads you’ll ever see.

I decided to pour a little extra creativity into the edit this time. A bit different than my usual, but a fun creative prompt for the day. Hope you enjoy ✨
That itch is back - wide open plains, dust in the air, and wild things everywhere.

I finally traveled to Kenya last year and now I fully understand why people never stop talking about it.

Absolute magic. Going through these photos has me seriously ready for round two 🌍
Hey 2026.
Starting the year with a few new frames from a recent Arizona road trip (aka home sweet home).

I’ve spent the last few years using every chunk of time off to hop on a plane and chase far-off places - which I love - but this trip reminded me just how much magic lives right in my own backyard. From northern lights in Utah to winter storms rolling through Monument Valley, the desert showed up in the best way.

Feeling very grateful for the Southwest and all the wild, quiet beauty it holds. Definitely making more time for it this year 🌵

What’s on your 2026 travel list?
Winter is quietly creeping into the desert, and Monument Valley gave me everything I could’ve dreamed of and more.

Cloud inversion? Check.
Storms? Check.
A rainbow to close it out? Absolutely.

Still in disbelief over the last 48 hours. 🤯✨ Can’t wait to edit the photos from here!

I used to think I wasn’t “good enough” for wildlife photography… like it was this mystical niche I wasn’t cool enough to step into. Turns out that was a pretty funny misconception.

Now it’s my full-blown hyper-fixation.

As a veterinarian (shocker, I have a life outside the ’gram), it probably makes sense that I’d be this obsessed with animals - but it took a while for that to click. And in the process, I’ve met incredible humans, seen amazing conservation work, and had encounters I’ll never forget.

Animals really do bring people together, and that’s the coolest part of all of this.

Here’s to many many more epic #wildlife moments.

Now, I have a question for youuu! What animals do YOU love photographing - or what’s your dream encounter? I need ideas 👀🐆
Every time I go back to #Namibia, it feels like flipping to a different chapter of the same wild book:

🧡 Sossusvlei at sunrise — absolute silence except the sand shifting.
⛰️ Spitzkoppe — granite playground for sunrise chasers.
🦁 Etosha — elephants, lions, and more drama than Netflix.
⛵️ Sandwich Harbour — dunes straight into the ocean (and the wind?? criminal).
🌊 Swakopmund — salty hair, cold water, slow mornings.
🐘 Damaraland — desert elephants and landscapes that don’t feel real.

This country just hits different — and you could come experience it with me in July 2026.
Check the pinned post for all the details.
First time at the #bonneville Salt Flats and I get it now — this place is a blank canvas for anyone with a camera and a spark.

Massive shoutout to and for helping me bring this shoot to life. I’ve had a vision of using lights out here for years, and I’m so stoked we finally pulled it off.

And then, as if the universe wanted to flex, we got hit with one of the strongest geomagnetic storms of the year. Northern Lights over the salt flats. “Insane” doesn’t even cover it.

Go check out Karlie and Niki’s work too — unreal.

Gear used:
💡 light tubes (thanks )
🚙 ’s legendary
📸 + bodies
🛠️ PVC pipes and some questionable construction techniques
Moonbeam ice cream… or whatever the cosmic girlies are saying these days. 🌝✨

A little throwback to some favorite desert shots — featuring the moon (which may or may not be completely real, who’s to say?).

Enjoy the magic. Or the Photoshop. Maybe both. 🌵
I spent two weeks in the Mara, and I’ve basically been thinking about it every day since.

There aren’t many places in the world where you can see a family of five cheetahs, a lion pride, a herd of giraffes, and a leopard - all before breakfast.

Truly one of the wildest, most magical places on Earth. 🐾🌍

Special shot out to, thanks for the lovely stay!
It’s time to head back to the desert. 🌞

The past few years, every bit of time off has meant hopping on a plane to explore somewhere new (or new-ish, lol). But this season, I’m slowing things down - exploring my own backyard all over again.

Here’s to rediscovering the Southwest. This is going to be fun. 🤎✨
