Colorado to California on Amtrak for Stern

For Stern, I took a train ride from Denver on Amtrak's California Zephyr line and photographed the experience. Writer Alex Kraft and I spent two days on the train learning the stories of passengers and savoring incredible views across Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California.

Several years ago Amtrak had its own magazine, and I devoured the train travel photo essays produced by editor Jessie Adler and featuring photography crushes like Brinson + Banks and Jesse Reiser. It was thrilling to take my own train trip and document the experience. When my children are older, I'm definitely doing it again.

Hairstylists and their Pets for The New York Times

I photographed hairstylists with their dogs in Boulder, Colorado for The New York Times. This was a memorable job because of the great animals - but also because I have started using continuous lighting for many of my portraits and got to play with my lighting setup for this assignment.

Roswell UFO Festival

I photographed the 75th anniversary of Roswell, New Mexico's annual UFO festival, for a story that never ended up running. The community has leaned hard into its history with a convergence of ufologists, conspiracy theorists, aliens, and sci-fi nerds each July and I had a fantastic time joining them!
