TRAIL BUILDERS

It all begins with an idea.

A lot of hard work goes into building new mountain biking trails. It's a true labor of love crafting the dirt in a way that has a minimal impact on the earth but is fun to ride. This new trail will be opening soon near Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis.

BOWLING

It all begins with an idea.

Youthful and free spirited, that was the mission for this shoot. Even before we started the models most of whom had just met, were already playing around together as if they had been friends for years. With that energy running through the entire team it translated well through to the final images.

KICKER PROJECT

It all begins with an idea.

This past spring I worked with The Kicker Project to shoot new images for the social media as well and promotional materials. The Kicker Project is a great program that provides the tools for underprivileged kids to go snowboard, which is a costly sport. 

The goal of the day on snow was to capture the interaction of the coaches and students, and the joy of being on snow.  throughout the day we rode different runs and capture the raw emotion of snowboarding as they unfolded.

We wanted to tell more of the story about Micah, the founder of Bootstrap Coffee, as well as showcase where they have been, and where they want to go as a company. Check out their Kickstarter and buy your self some tasty coffee from a great new company.

STAGHEAD MOTO SHOOT

It all begins with an idea.

This past fall I worked with director Tony Franklin and DP Alex Horner on a shoot with Staghead Moto. The goal was to capture the spirit of riding vintage motorcycles in one of the most scenic areas in the Midwest. Shooting out of the back of a moving van we were able to capture the spirit and seamlessly blend the look of the video and still images.
