A young Mountain Goat prepares to jump over a waterfall in the mountains of Alaska. I was hiking with my family in the summertime and came across some Mountain Goats as they traversed the vast landscape. Placing myself at the base of this waterfall, I watched as this Mountain Goat's mother leapt over the waterfall and I captured this image as this young Mountain Goat followed its mother. It was incredible to watch these animals skillfully scale the rocks with ease amidst the expansive habitat they call home.

Nature photography has become a very passionate hobby of mine and whenever I get a chance I love to get outside and enjoy being outdoors. I am also the co-owner of KGM Expressions, a wedding and portrait photography business, with my wife Kim. This is how we make our living and I love that we get to do that together.
