Gaea – a primary Greek primordial deity – is the personification of the Earth. As the ancestral mother of all life, she is the primal Mother Earth.
Our planet is over flowing with a continuous stream of beauty – found through breathtaking landscapes and awe-inspiring formations. With a particular focus in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, Gaea Photography is dedicated to exploring and capturing pristine quality photos of the lesser known and lesser explored corners of this magnificently diverse place.
My goal is to inspire, encourage, and empower others to take joy in experiencing and witnessing all that Gaea can offer. Throughout this site you will find my work manifested in the form of stunning galleries that are available for purchase, workshops to help build your skills, informative trip reports and articles to aide you in your own explorations, group hikes lead by me to iconic or rarely visited spots, and various portrait services to capture the experience forever!

Shortoff Cliff Base (SOCB) – Linville Gorge Wilderness, NC
The Linville Gorge Wilderness Area – “Grand Canyon of the East” and arguably home to the most rugged terrain of the Southern Appalachians! Among the many prominent peaks found here, few stack up against the internationally iconic Shortoff Mountain.
Waterfall Creek Gorge – Big Ivy/Coleman Boundary, Pisgah National Forest, NC
With a name like “Waterfall Creek”, how could it disappoint? Located in the Big Ivy section of the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina, the mossy creek descends the western flank of Bullhead Ridge below Craggy Dome and Craggy Pinnacle. To no one’s surprise, it hosts some pretty spectacular – you guessed it – waterfalls!
Lower Thompson River, Jocassee Gorges, SC
The Jocassee Gorges, located in the heart of Upstate South Carolina, features some of the Southeast’s most impressive and powerful rivers. Of the four major waterways, the Thompson River is about as wild as it gets – hosting several breath taking waterfalls, deep swimming holes, and even its own natural water slide!
