Noticing What Most People Drive Right Past

Hi! My mane is Nathan and I am a photographer always on the lookout for scenes of love, joy, pride, neglect and change…moments that tell the story of being human.

Portrait, event, branding, and documentary photography projects across Northern Colorado and beyond.

What I Do

What I Do *

I split my photography between paid work and personal projects, but the two are more connected than they might seem. One keeps me sharp, teaches me to solve problems, and helps me make strong pictures under pressure, the other keeps me curious and gives me room to follow ideas that I am passionate about.

In both cases, I’m chasing pictures that feel authentic, human, and important. I’m drawn to color, texture, story, small details, good light, and everyday moments that feel bigger than they should. That’s the stuff that keeps photography fun for me.

Memorial Day at CNS

I finally got over to the track a couple weekends ago to document some of the racing with Brothers Racing. Shawn, Justin and two of the grandkids raced. It was unfortunately a disappointing day for them. A couple of wrecked cars and disappointing finishes, but a bad day at the track is still a good day.

A few months ago I was invited to attend and photograph the grand opening of Eshe’s new location in Windsor with The Whole Brand Agency. The owners and team of that company are some of the best people with great hearts.

This past weekend our family got to break in our new (to us) travel trailer for a weekend camping in Cañon City. I will spare you the family snapshots but I was able to sneak in a little bit of time to work on some photos of my own, some for ongoing projects, and some random ones.
