Sharp mind, big heart, making the kind of work that makes people feel something. Hi! I’m Misty.
Photographer, mother, quiet observer of the world. Work has hung in museums and commercial galleries, and traveled across borders on assignment and commission. Raised under wide Texas skies, shaped by a year in Japan, educated in Chicago and the woods of upstate New York—now shoveling snow and using a chainsaw in the Colorado mountains.
Things You Didn’t Ask, But Fun to Know
Once won an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World at age 12—and was genuinely bummed when told the family had to come. The plan was to bring three best friends, not a chaperone squad.
Work has taken me across continents, shooting for most major U.S. publications and a few in Europe. Favorite gems include NEST, Texas Monthly and Harper’s (no, not Bazaar—the other one).
Recently started CrossFit—not to compete, but because my brain works better after breaking a sweat.
Photographed the key art for The Chosen Seasons 3 & 4. For Season 5, the job went to Annie Leibovitz. Bittersweet, but pretty great company to get bumped by.
Melons and cucumbers? Hard pass. No notes.
Top 5 films on repeat: Amélie, The Big Lebowski, Life of Pi, Interstellar, and Life is Beautiful.
