My photos are always taken with the utmost respect for the subjects.

I began birding in 2009, in California, and quickly fell in love with trying to capture what I love about nature. I continue to travel mainly in North America, occasionally abroad, in search of interesting birds and wildlife, documenting the very diverse experiences as I go. Birding can drive you to see the world that we live in with a new perspective and really does make the world feel a bit bigger, and a bit wilder.
