MISSOURI & THE MIDWEST

As a Saint Louis-based photographer, I'm often inspired by Missouri's surprising diversity. This gallery celebrates my home state, plus a few other midwest neighbors. It features lunar phases that I've captured from my own backyard, two total solar eclipses, fog-draped bluffs along the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, native prairie wildflowers,  elegant Wood Ducks at our beloved zoo, and more.
These images prove you don't have to travel far to find extraordinary beauty. Missouri and the greater Midwest offer endless opportunities for those willing to go out and explore, stay patient, and look closely. For fellow Missourians, these are the familiar places we love, elevated to fine art. For visitors, this is an invitation to discover a landscape often overlooked but deeply rewarding.
