Hey! I'm Reece

I am a Traverse City-based photographer, digital creator, and outdoor enthusiast specializing in high-energy lifestyle and action storytelling. My creative mission is simple: I connect my deep personal obsession with high-adrenaline hobbies to the forward-thinking brands that fuel them. I don't just capture the outdoor lifestyle from the sidelines—I live it every single day.

My obsession with the camera is a family legacy. Long before I picked up a lens, my grandfather, "Dr. Bob," introduced my dad to the art of photography. Years later, my dad passed that passion down to me, eventually gifting me his highly respected mirrorless Sony a6000 when I was 17. What started as a childhood fascination quickly evolved into a professional pursuit. I fast-tracked through advanced photography courses in high school and realized that freezing moments in time wasn't just a hobby—it was my calling.

Today, my life is a blend of creative execution, business operations, and outdoor adventure. I balance my freelance photography with my role as the Warehouse Manager at M22—a job, team, and local lifestyle brand that I absolutely love being a part of. Managing logistics for a major regional brand has given me invaluable insight into apparel, product presentation, and how a successful lifestyle company operates from the inside out. To back up that real-world experience, I am also currently a double major in Business and Marine Technology at Northwestern Michigan College, constantly expanding the technical and professional skill sets I bring to my business.

At my core, I am fueled by family, community, fitness, and healthy living. I believe in staying moving and pushing my limits. Because of that, you can usually find me out in the elements testing new gear and seeking out the next challenge. I am a passionate lover of everything Northern Michigan has to offer—whether I'm surfing the unpredictable waves of the Great Lakes, skiing down the slopes, mountain biking rugged trails, hiking, boating, or onewheeling across town.

Because I am an active participant in these sports, I possess a unique advantage behind the lens. I know exactly how a board should carve, how the light should hit a subject in motion, and how a product looks when it’s truly being put to the test. I specialize in designing authentic visual content for companies that live at the intersection of adventure, style, and utility. Whether you are an industry giant like Onewheel or a regional outdoor staple like Boyne Country Sports, I bring real-world passion, operational grit, and sharp technical execution to every project.
