A barred owl perches quietly above a calm forest creek, enveloped by layers of lush green. As it glances downward for a fleeting moment, its reflection shimmers in the still water below—creating the illusion of quiet contemplation. For an instant, the forest seems to pause, as if both owl and creek are reflecting on the life unfolding around them.

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.
