I scan these hills every time I drive by, hoping for some wildlife to anchor a composition showing off the gently rolling terrain in Point Reyes. On this evening, a pair of Tule Elk were working their way up to the first ridge just as the sun finished setting. I hoped they would continue up to the second, higher ridge, but they headed down into the valley leading to the bay. These quiet contemplative compositions are what keep me coming back to this place, year after year.

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.
