As a photographer, Cory’s lens serves as a bridge between his inner world and the captivating landscapes he encounters. His work goes beyond simply capturing images; it tells stories. With an eye for detail and an innate ability to seize the perfect moment, Cory’s photography transports viewers to the heart of the places he’s visited, evoking emotions and a sense of wanderlust.

However, Cory’s journey is not just about chasing the perfect shot. He is also a devoted family man, a loving husband, and a dedicated father. His family is not just his anchor; they’re an integral part of his adventures. Together, they explore the world, creating lasting memories and forging deeper connections with each other and the world around them.

Beyond his roles as a photographer and a family man, Cory is a passionate mental health advocate. He recognizes the importance of mental well-being and seeks to raise awareness about this crucial aspect of human health. Through his experiences, he’s learned that exploring the world, nurturing relationships, and pursuing one’s passions can be therapeutic and enriching for the mind.

Cory’s advocacy extends to encouraging others to prioritize their mental health and seek help when needed. He believes that, like the Rio Grande, the human spirit can be wild and untamed, but with the right support and self-care, it can flow freely and beautifully.


From grass-roots

beginnings.

“Orphan of the Rio Grande” takes its name from the mystique of the untamed, the unexplored, and the enigmatic spirit found along the Rio Grande – a symbol of the untamed wilderness and the freedom of nature.


To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
