I am a hobbyist photographer, based in Southern California. My passion lies with capturing wildlife, which is what you will see here. I am also lucky enough to work as a tour guide at one of the wonderful wildlife parks here in Southern California, and my experiences learning about the individual animals I work with influence my photos of them when I am lucky enough to see them off the clock. Beyond the workplace, I am a member of many zoological facilities, and many of my days off are spent with the animals!

Please do not use my photos without permission. I will report copyright infringement. If you are a trainer and see a photo of you with an animal that you would like a copy of, send me a message either here or on Instagram (@zoo.connect) or send me an email via the address below and I will happily get you a full-quality, unwatermarked version. The photos I post here are reduced quality.
