Community Resources
Everyone is welcome here.
I have spent twelve years coaching tennis and surfing with Special Olympics athletes, photographing for the Gold Coast Down Syndrome Organization, and co-founding a peer mentorship inclusion program in my own high school. Inclusion is not a section of this studio. It is the studio. This page gathers inclusion resources I trust, for every kind of family and anyone who needs a hand finding their footing.

For the Planet
Protect the wild places.
Half my portfolio only exists because somebody protected a shoreline, a wetland, or a giraffe. The lorikeets, the surf breaks, the sunflower fields, they all need defenders. Here is where to start.

For Inclusion-Focused Organizations
If your nonprofit is building a more inclusive community, ask me about community rates on photography, content, and grant support. The organizations that carried my athletes deserve to be carried too.
Ask About Community RatesAbout This Site's Accessibility
This site respects your reduced-motion settings (the stars and butterflies will sit still if you ask them to), every photograph carries a written description, the whole site works by keyboard, and the colors are chosen for contrast against the night sky. If anything here is hard for you to use, tell me and I will fix it. That is not a policy statement, it is a promise.
