A Guy, a Girl, and a Plane

Many of these images exist because of one thing: access. My husband, Ed, is both pilot and partner in this work — flying us to remote coastlines, and untouched rivers where bears roam and whales feed undisturbed. Together, we chase stories from the air to the tide line, capturing moments that never get old seeing!

Born and raised in Alaska, I fell in love with photography and flying early on. Hopping aboard a float plane in Juneau with cameras in hand allows nearly boundless exploration of the islands, mountains, coastal waters, and remote, colorful communities dotting the shores of the magnificent Inside Passage. In one day, I can shoot a birds eye view of massive ice fields winding between frozen nunataks, touch down in a secluded cove to catch a family of Coastal brown bears dining on the summer salmon run, and get home in time to catch a black bear ambling by my house. I love to share my passion for photography, flying, wildlife, and Southeast Alaska - my backyard!
