A lover of the outdoors, Chris was always inspired by the breath-taking images he found in National Geographic Magazine. As a teenager, he became a student of photography and later studied at The Hallmark Institute of Photography. After graduating in 2006, Chris pursued a career as a professional photographer. His portfolio includes portraiture, commercial, wedding, and fine art. In more recent years, Chris’ passion for nature and the outdoors has brought his attention back to nature photography. Chris’ other interests include rock climbing, paddleboarding, backpacking, meditation, tiny houses, cooking, and personal growth.
