Long Version:
Hey, what's up y'all! I'm a passionate and driven individual with a focus on wildlife and conservation photojournalism, but I also dabble in engagements, weddings, large events, adventure, and outdoor extreme sports. I'm definitely most suited for outdoor work but have worked in challenging indoor environments with multiple types of lighting, like in wet labs for marine research and expos.
In the time I've been in this, I've thankfully metamorphosed into an award-winning photographer, Nikon Professional, Ethics Committee Member at NANPA, large carnivore tracker, and instructor. I founded Wild Expectations, am represented by Wildscreen, am also a founding member of Wild Idea Lab, and have appeared on multiple judging panels. My publications include National Geographic Education, Defenders of Wildlife, Improve Photography, Alaska Airlines Magazine, Outdoors California, and The Press Democrat, among others.
