On a quick trip to Florida during the winter of 2025 I had some time to experiment with slow shutter and wide focal lengths on a group of White Ibis making their way down the beach one morning. The birds did not care much about my presence giving me the opportunity to move in close.

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.
