I can honestly say that when I’m looking at the natural world through my camera I’m not thinking about getting the perfect photograph. While I love a good picture, I’m far more interested in my subject’s behaviour, expression, health, colour patterns and details, and so much more.

My love of nature started as a child. My parents took my brother and I camping and hiking all over Ontario and I developed an early appreciation for our province’s natural beauty. For as long as I can remember I’ve enjoyed being outside and while I’ve only become quite proficient in this last decade, I’ve had a passion for photography since I was a teenager. In particular I enjoy observing and listening to birds of all shapes, sizes, and sounds.

I’ve also tried to pay back nature for all the joy it’s given me by volunteering for the Toronto Wildlife Centre, The Owl Foundation, and Coyote Watch Canada. I’ve also tried to spread my love and knowledge of the animal world by writing articles for Beach Metro News, On the Wild Side, and for the City of Toronto, Ann’s Corner. I’ve been honoured by having my photos featured in many books, poetry collections, children's stories, educational materials, magazines such as Wild Birds and Birds and Blooms, as well as in flyers, newsletters, and the Toronto Star. My work has been used across Canada and in Europe, the USA and even in Africa.

I really believe that every day offer an amazing discovery, if you’re willing to keep your eyes open. Some days I may find the subtle beauty in a fence post covered in spider webs and morning dew and other days I’ll take in the more obvious magnificence of a 10 point buck lying under a tree. Never stop enjoying both the big and little things nature continues to offer us, and I’ll see you outside!
