For over two decades, I’ve been capturing the untamed beauty of wildlife, the grandeur of natural landscapes, and the candid moments of street life through the lens.
Choosing Authentic Photography: What Buyers Should Know
When buying photography for your home or business, it's important to be an informed consumer. Here's what to look out for:
Ask how the image was made: Was it captured with a real camera or created using AI or digital composites? Composites (images made by layering elements from different photos) and AI-generated images should be clearly labeled. Most likely this will not be disclosed unless asked.
Trust your instincts: If an image looks too perfect or surreal, it’s likely not a true photograph. This is becoming an epidemic!
Look for realism: Ethical photographers will disclose how their images are created when asked.
Knowing what you're buying ensures you're investing in real moments, not artificial intelligent or photoshopped manufactured ones.
About Me
As a long-time resident of Park City, Utah, and founder of Park City Photography LLC, I create fine art photography designed to evoke emotion, tell a story, and elevate the spaces where people live and work. My images reflect a deep connection to nature, a commitment to craft, and a passion for preserving fleeting moments in timeless form.
Museum Quality Art
My work has been recognized in several prestigious exhibitions, including consecutive selections by separate juries for the Springville Museum of Art’s Salon shows—Salon 100 (2024) and Salon 101 (2025). Established in 1922, the Spring Salon is one of the oldest and most respected juried exhibitions in the West, with a legacy that includes celebrated American artists such as Walt Disney, Norman Rockwell, Edward Hopper, and Georgia O’Keeffe.
Competition to Separate Myself
I firmly believe that competition plays a vital role in mastering the art of photography. In 2007, I achieved my first major success, winning first place in Art Wolfe’s “International Photography Contest – Wildlife.” More recently, I earned First Place awards at the Utah State Fair in both 2023 and 2024, in color and black-and-white photography. Additionally, I was honored by the Intermountain Professional Photographers Association (IPPA) as their general Photographer of the Year in 2023 and received the titles of Wildlife Photographic Image of the Year and Landscape Photographic Image of the Year in 2024.
More Than Just Awards
These honors reflect more than just awards—they underscore a commitment to excellence that sets my work apart. Recognition from juried exhibitions and respected institutions means my photography has been evaluated and selected by professional curators and artists, not just admired by the public.
Products
My work ranges from open editions to luxurious limited edition prints, available in a variety of premium formats—from Silver Halide and fused acrylics to metal, canvas, and fine art papers. Each piece is carefully crafted to bring depth, meaning, and inspiration into your environment.
Personal Approach
I work closely with clients through complimentary in-home or business consultations to help them discover or create the perfect art piece. My approach is centered on low-volume, high-touch service—I don't rely on online carts or out-of-state facilities. Instead, I partner with local printing experts whom I've trusted for over 20 years, ensuring that every image is personally inspected and delivered by me.
New Business Model - Direct Sales
While my work has been featured in multiple Park City interior design showrooms over the years, starting in 2025, I’ll be selling exclusively direct to clients. This shift allows me to provide a more personal, rewarding experience and offer the highest level of service and customization at reduced cost to my clients.
Let’s connect—I’d love to help you bring art into your space that tells your story and reflects your vision. Drop me an e mail or text

Ancient Bristlecone Pine
The gnarled, sculpted trees found in the heights of western U.S. mountains are among the oldest living organisms on Earth and are a favorite subject of mine. My most cherished Bristlecone has stood on a cliff overlooking Dead Horse Basin for over 1,000 years. I have photographed this tree no less than twelve times over three years, capturing its beauty in all seasons. In this particular scene, it is 3 A.M. on a cold January night, for a final "selfie," joining the vastness of both space and time. With no moon in the sky, a long exposure reveals the millions of stars that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Leap of Faith
The image above took First Place in "Wildlife" at the prestigious Art Wolfe International Photography Competition. After weeks of observation, I captured this Red Fox (Park City, Utah), exploding over McCleod Creek with two Uintah Ground Squirrels in her mouth. The creek was overflowing its banks during heavy spring runoff and the fox landed safely on the far shore.
Winter Dreams- Utah Wild Mustangs
Two white Mustangs stand like frozen statues in an eternal sleep, enduring a brutal winter in the badlands of Utah. Capturing this scene requires challenging photography in deep snow, as I navigate the vast West Desert of Utah in a four-wheel drive vehicle and snowshoe my way to the wild Mustangs.

Full Moon Rising Over McPolin Barn
In the fall of 2020, Saturn was prominently visible in the southwest sky during its conjunction with Jupiter, coinciding with the rising of a full moon. The iconic "White Barn" is the most recognized landmark in Park City. This scene features rich dark tones and a striking moonrise, captured using two exposures with different lenses to create a composite image for an artistic expression. My goal was to evoke a sense of magical serenity and peacefulness.

When The Leaves Are Gone - East Canyon Sunrise
It was late fall when I arrived at the saddle of East Canyon, where the breathtaking aspens were illuminated by the early morning light. The large stand of aspens on the north face showcased a stunning bronze pattern that resembled intricate lace. This image received a "Superior" rating in the Intermountain Professional Photographers Competition in 2022 and was one of four photographs that earned me the title of “Photographer of the Year” from the Intermountain Professional Photographers Association.
