Hi there, I’m Scott.

I’m a local photographer just 10 minutes from Alderbrook, and since moving to the Hood Canal, I’ve completely fallen for this hidden gem of an area in a region chock full of them. The way this saltwater fjord carves through these lush forest lands while the Olympic Mountains rise right out of it is truly special. It’s a place the brings such a unique blend of awe and serenity that’s hard to find anywhere else.

Originally from Baltimore, I moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2018 with my wife, Lisa, and our dog, Halley, completely clueless with just how much nautraxl beauty and adventure was waiting for us out here. Over the years, the mountains, forests, and waterways of the PNW have become more than just my backyard—they’ve become home. I’ve spent countless days hiking, climbing, camping, skiing, and capturing as many moments as I can that make this place so special.

Ever since I realized how special it is out here, I’ve looked for ways to give back and share it with others. Photography has been a big part of that, along with helping people experience the beauty of this region. As a search and rescue first responder and unit photographer for Mt. Rainier Nordic Ski Patrol and Olympic Mountain Rescue, as well as a creative partner for the Washington National Park Fund, I’ve been able to blend my love for the PNW, helping others and storytelling even more.

Now, I’m excited to share that same passion with Alderbrook’s guests. Whether you’re here for a cozy gathering with family or friends, a corporate retreat, or just a quiet escape, I’d love to help capture the moments that make your time here unforgettable. You focus on soaking it all in—I’ll take care of the memories.
