About Me

“Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs when you are climbing it.”

— Andy Rooney

*and also when you fly down the mountain!

BIO

Hi! I'm Ryan. I was born in Idaho, which makes me a native Tater Stater.  I grew up in the perfect setting on a small horse ranch/farm, playing with my older brother in safe activities such as motorcycle tag and BB gun fights.  Even with a proclivity towards said fun, I ultimately graduated from college with a BA in Finance and Economics.  And minors in History and Sociology.  And 2 or 3 languages for good measure...even earned honors, so now you can take back the eye roll you gave my childhood entertainment! 
I have lived here and there.  Done this, that and the other.  Oh, and I ran.  A lot. And was even fast enough to think I was good.  Just not quite good enough to be THAT fast.  Eventually wandered back to Boise.  Started a business or two.  Work with some really big companies.  Even had a few pats on the back and awards for my charity work.  You might be surprised to know I now jump out of and fly off of things. 
All of that has lead to this...Wanderer.  Photographer. Napper. 

EXPERTISE

I mostly like to point my camera at something, focus, maybe zoom and click the shutter!

My work focuses on capturing how I see the beauty and simplicity of a moment, whether it's landscape, portrait, lifestyle imagery, or a moment of fun.  For me it is as much about the journey and process of getting to the shot which adds a certain level of emotion as well as a story to the final product.

My goal is to make a portrait or portrait landscape shoot fun!  We will make our way to a spot, enjoy the journey, the conversation and get some amazing pics while we do it.
