I was on a sunrise walk on a Cape San Blas beach, when my sister spotted this Kingfisher on a beautiful bare tree. At first we were not sure if it was really a bird! The ombre sky was stunning on it's own but to be able to include a really cool bird in the frame was an incredible experience.

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.
