I’m a pilot, photographer, and explorer who’s always chasing the next wild place. Born and raised on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma, I grew up dreaming of Alaska, and now I call Fairbanks home. My husband, Taylor, is an F-35 pilot, and it was the Air Force that brought us here. Both pilots, both passionate hunters, we’ve found ourselves in some of the most remote corners of Alaska.

Some people say we bought a plane to go hunting and in the vast wilderness of Alaska, that’s certainly true. In this wilderness, our Super Cub is more than a machine. It’s a way of life, that allows you to tap into the backcountry.

But above all, our faith in God is what grounds us. It’s what gives us courage, peace, and the drive to live without fear. Life is short, painfully short sometimes, and we want to live every second of it side by side, exploring this beautiful world He created.

The Lonely Loon was created as the quiet, creative side of these adventures. It’s where I slow down and pay attention. To capture not just where we go, but what it feels like to be there, the soft moments inside a grueling journey, the humility that comes with power, the stillness that often says more than noise ever could. The Lonely Loon is about telling stories through images that feel honest and grounded, creating work that invites reflection rather than applause.

Through my photos and stories, I hope to inspire others to chase bold adventures, embrace the wild, and live fully, rooted in truth, guided by faith, and unafraid to move through the world with quiet confidence, wherever their dreams may take them.
