ISLAND {HUMAN} NATURE : Photography Exhibit with Cara Dolan

The work I’ve selected for this show centers on humans within their island environments. Captured through informal portrait sessions, these images were taken in moments when my subjects seemed to have shed self-awareness and entered a state of ease. As a result, the portraits carry a dream-like quality—evoking intimacy, stillness, and presence.

It’s an honor to share this space with film photographer, mother, fellow islander, and friend, Cara Dolan. Though our styles and processes differ, her work beautifully complements my darker, moodier aesthetic. Together, our images create a balanced dialogue between Human {Island} Nature.

Thank you to Sierra, Anna, Amelia, Bella, Tallulah, and Judy for showing up and being part of this body of work.

Immense gratitude to Harvey, who never stops encouraging me to share my work with the world. When I do, he honors each photo —matting, framing, and hanging — with precision, care, and the quiet brilliance of an artist in his own right.

Thank you to Danielle for creating a space where artists can share their unique beauty and vision. It's always an honor to be invited back to the Crow’s Nest!

10% of all my photo sales will be donated to the Peaks Island Health Association a 501c3 non-profit organization devoted to facilitating and supporting the delivery of health services on Peaks Island, both for island residents and visitors.  

If the work resonates with you, or if you know someone who might be interested in a unique portrait session, I’d love to connect. Feel free to reach out—I’d be honored to work with you.
