I’m a military veteran and the creative eye behind Talon & Terrain Photography. My journey into photography began as more than a hobby — it was a lifeline. While navigating life while serving and dealing with PTSD, I discovered the camera as an artistic outlet. It became a way to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the world around me.

Photography has been both therapy and a mission. The stillness of a forest, the sweep of a mountain range, the silent flight of a bird overhead — each image is a reminder of the beauty and calm that exists beyond the noise. Whether I’m on the ground or in the air with my drone, I aim to capture moments that reflect both the power and the peace of nature.

Through Talon & Terrain, I share not just photographs, but the perspective of someone who has seen the world through many lenses — from the disciplined focus of military life to the mindful awareness that comes from standing quietly in the wild.
