I encountered a well-known pair of bald eagles on the beach just before sunrise on Hilton Head Island. Moments earlier, they had mated and then settled together, quietly sharing the first light of day. To preserve detail in their silhouettes against the intensity of the rising sun, I pushed my camera settings to their limits. Capturing this intimate, fleeting moment was both challenging and deeply rewarding.

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.
