During lulls in wedding and portrait gigs, such as the 2 year forced Covid hiatus, I found myself almost exclusively photographing abandoned buildings. This became my “Reckless Abandon” series that continues to this day. But my true love? Motorcycles.

There’s just something about a biker’s smile when they’re sitting on their motorcycle, or standing nearby with their arms crossed. It’s a combination of pride, grit, and passion for the ride. Any person who has ridden can tell you that it’s both a thrill and a transcendent respite from the struggles of everyday life. And what’s more, bikers are often united by their experience, as that passion is best enjoyed in good company. The biker community has been a fun and therapeutic place to belong to throughout my 15 years of riding.

I moved to Cheyenne in 2020 and was surprised to find so many vibrant murals scattered throughout the town. This series was also dedicated to the artists that make Cheyenne such a unique place.
