The Grateful Lens
A Photographers Guide to Vision, Story & Self
I’m Brian, a nature-loving portrait photographer, fine art visual storyteller, and lifelong Gratitudaholic.
Over the years, I’ve realized that photography is more than my profession—it’s how I connect to the world. It’s my way of noticing what’s right, even when life feels messy. It’s a way to pause, reflect, and find meaning in the moment, be it through the capture of golden light or a fleeting expression in someone’s eyes.
The Reflective Lens is where I share that practice with you.
Here, you’ll find:
Behind-the-scenes glimpses into the why behind my favorite images
Personal stories that explore growth, gratitude, and creative intuition
Gentle prompts and reflections for those seeking to live more intentionally
Quiet meditations on light, timing, and the art of becoming
This space is for anyone drawn to beauty—not just the kind you can hang on a wall, but the kind that lives in paying attention.
If you’ve ever found yourself grateful for a coincidence, struck by stillness, or transformed by the way light hits a window… you’re in the right place.
Thanks for reading. I’m honored to share what I see (and forever learning) with you.

THANK YOU!..
This gallery launch wasn’t just a show—it was a beginning. If a piece spoke to you, or you know someone who’d connect with my style, I’d love if you shared my work.
ITTP … You?..
ITTP - is a mantra that has never failed me. It allows me to sit at the front of a brand new thrill-ride with a huge smile as I lean into the uncertainty that blasts at my face with g-force enthusiasm.
Pushed By Pain
Significant life changes tend to wait for us to experience a push by pain or to be pulled by a vision. I believe it took me a heavy dose of each to land where I now love to be.
