Meet Tracy + David

Tracy and David are a husband-and-wife creative team who bring two passionate perspectives together to create imagery, video, and content that goes far beyond what either could create alone. Working side by side, they draw constant inspiration from one another—and hope that same energy comes through in everything they make.
Both former athletes and photojournalists, Tracy and David bring a shared drive and determination to their work. Their backgrounds taught them to work harder than they thought possible, push through exhaustion, and then go just a little farther. For them, the shots matter because they are more than just pictures—they are pieces of who they are.
Their work reflects a genuine curiosity about the world and a desire to experience it fully. They want to go places, see everything, do everything, and shoot everything—and then share those experiences with as many people as they can before heading out to do it all over again.
