There comes a time in almost every landscape and wildlife photographer's life when they dream of having an image published by National Geographic.

Well... my time finally came.

A writer recently reached out looking for a photograph from Beaumont, Texas for an upcoming National Geographic article. They found one of my images and asked if I would be willing to license it for publication. Needless to say, my answer was YES!

I'm excited to share that my photograph of Cattail Marsh in Beaumont, Texas, appears in National Geographic's online article, "5 Small Texas Towns That Are Big on Charm—and Worth the Drive."👇

As photographers, we spend countless hours chasing light, exploring new places, and hoping our images tell a story. To have one selected by a publication as iconic as National Geographic is a milestone I never imagined when I first picked up a camera.

I'm definitely doing a little happy dance!

Thank you to everyone who has followed along and supported my photography journey over the years. Here's to many more adventures behind the lens.

🚨 The Flint River Needs Us Now 🚨

The Flint River isn’t just a body of water flowing through our area — it’s where our families make memories, where neighbors gather, where children play, and where local businesses thrive. It supports fishing trips, kayaking adventures, swimming, spiritual traditions, and countless moments that make our community special.

‼️Right now, that way of life could be at serious risk‼️

A proposed wastewater treatment plant may be built less than 500 feet from Berryhill Estates and Riverwalk neighborhoods, with plans to release between 1.2 and 4 million gallons of treated wastewater into the Flint River every day.

Even treated discharge on this scale could dramatically impact the river’s fragile ecosystem, threaten important wildlife including the endangered Eastern Hellbender salamander, disrupt eagle nesting habitats, and diminish the safety and beauty of one of our community’s greatest natural resources.

This is bigger than one project.
This is about protecting:
✔️ Our neighborhoods
✔️ Our families
✔️ Our outdoor recreation
✔️ Our small businesses
✔️ Our environment

We believe progress should never come at the expense of the places and people it serves.

We urge Madison County and ADEM to pursue smarter, more responsible solutions by choosing a location that safeguards our river, our homes, and our future.
