Hey, I'm Avery.

I'm a photographer based in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and if there's an airplane nearby, there's a good chance I already know about it.

I got my first camera in 2017 and spent years photographing wildlife and landscapes. After taking some time away from photography, I came back to it in 2025. It wasn't long before aviation completely took over.

I started with photographing aircraft from outside the fence. Since then I've been fortunate to get up-close to flight lines, military aircraft, pilots and crews, and a whole community of people who have trusted me to document what they do. My favorite photos are often the pre-flight check, the helmet going on, or the tiny moments happening while everyone else is watching the airplane.

Aviation will probably always be my favorite thing to photograph, but I don't like to put myself in one box. If something makes me think, "That would look killer in a photo." I'm interested.  

Photography has become one of the biggest parts of my life, and I'm still finding new things to point a camera at.
