Photography
A picture's worth a thousand adjectives.
Natural and urban landscapes captured across some of my favorite places… and a few I'd never seen before!
**All photos were taken with a Samsung Galaxy S22 unless otherwise specified.**
Spokane, WA
As an Inland Northwesterner hailing from Eastern Washington, Spokane was a big part of my childhood.
It's just two hours north of my hometown.

Coeur d'Alene, ID
I spent many summers and a few Christmases here; I always love going back and consider Northern Idaho my second home.
It doesn't hurt that I'm a state border baby (WA/ID).
