This is my life’s practice

Photography is how I slow down, pay attention, and be a witness to the beauty of the world.

“If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.” — Willy Wonka

“We hired 15 different creatives to make content for a campaign for a new hotel we were launching. Jake’s content was our favorite, and most on brand by far!”

— Tempo by Hilton

“We’ve had Jake update our media annually for the past 5 years. He gives us social content, photography, video, and drone work. And it lasts us the entire year. We’re always pleased with his work.”

— Kapawi Eco Lodge, Amazon, Ecuador

About

A creative and globetrotter, loosely based out of Nashville.

At the age of 21, I took a risk and moved to Kenya as a photojournalist to pursue a career as a photographer. Years down the road, I’ve traveled to 65+ countries and have been fortunate enough to make this practice my career.
