meet the
ride or die duo
We met in 2014 - Tinder success story right here - in Southern California. Corey was stationed there, and Baylie was a local. For six months, we were just two friends hiking all over the place, building this quiet sense of companionship neither of us fully named yet. Then one bonfire night (and maybe a few drinks later), we finally kissed. From that moment on, it was kind of impossible to imagine life any other way.
Twelve years later, we’ve lived in North Carolina, spent a year traveling the country in a van, and settled into life in the best state ever, Idaho. We’ve photographed weddings in so many corners of the U.S., and through it all, our energies just… work. Yin and yang. Perfect balance. And honestly, all the cheesy writers were right - love really does find you when you least expect it.
We live for our three fur-babies, who love adventuring as much as we do. The way animals resemble their owners is so real. They love to rally with us, whether that is going to cuddle-town all day or hiking around, they are always with us.

We’re biiiig foodies. we always appreciate a flavorful, delicious meal. We are also both very open to trying new things if you have any suggestions! as far as drinks go, Baylie managed a specialty coffee shop in NC, so it’s fair to say we love a good cup too. We will never turn down a good cocktail or a brew!

“The mountains are calling” is no joke. Our favorite campsites are by a river or a lake, surrounded by big beautiful trees. This is the main reason we love idaho and photographing in the rockies.

random facts
I am an easy-going guy who values experience and adventure. I love trying new things, meeting cool people, and traveling to new, interesting places. I really value downtime (chillin' on the couch and binging some quality entertainment with Baylie). I like staying active, whether that's lifting at the gym or hiking around. And, if you could cook a solid steak, you'll live in my head rent-free. Precision long-range shooting is another passion of mine, especially competitions or instructing students in my courses. I enjoy taking the things I've learned from my 10-year military experience and teaching people who also share my passion!

I’m a low-key adrenaline junkie... I love the thrill AFTER I've had a decent anxiety attack about it first, weighing the odds of course. I love giving through my art and I love any type of treat (ADHD gang knows that I'm talking about that sweet dopamine drop). A treat can be something delicious, but it's also a beautiful location, quality time with an aligning soul, a magical thrift store find, Corey giving me sweet kisses, words of affirmation, walking in rivers, rockhounding, and finding a good ole hotspring. I'm a "go with the flow" energy, a taurus and an earth sign. I also have no idea what these really mean.
