I photographed this Tricolored Heron on a beautiful morning along the Texas Gulf Coast. These birds will cast a shadow over the water with the hope of starting their prey into moving. I can recall a point during my morning shoot when I wasn't taking a single picture, just simply admiring the beauty and peacefulness of nature.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began. In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
