Hi, I’m Morgan, a travel and lifestyle photographer drawn to peaceful vistas; immersive natural landscapes; warm, golden light; and the textures of life.

My work lives somewhere between documentary and dreamscape — rooted in real places, but always chasing a certain feeling. I’m interested in using natural light to capture the essence of a place, and how the smallest details can tell the whole story.

I shoot intuitively and with contemplation. Whether I’m photographing a coastal town, a sun-drenched cafe, or a remote alpine trail, I’m always looking for the in-between moments — honest, cinematic, and full of feeling.

Based in Chicago, available for travel locally and globally. I shoot both digitally and on film.

Past clients include Hipcamp, Orange Coast Magazine, and more.
