About Me

My experience and history dates back to high school! Starting with concert photography, action and sports - taking a break for a career in law enforcement, then having a child and retiring, I jumped back into photography and haven't left. Making a career out of action, animal and sport photography prepared me for the excitement of wildlife photography.

Experience never ends! Always learning, shooting and traveling to new and exciting locations

In today's photography world, being able to photograph amazing locations is not enough. Now that we are digital, knowing how to properly process photos is a part of our job as well.

As a photographer with more than 45 years of experience, I am always up for the challenge of photographing wildlife in a native setting. Traveling to distant areas such as Africa, Svalbard, Norway, Brazil and many others, finding wildlife in their natural setting is a passion.

I always believe in getting the best photo possible, straight out of the camera. Knowing how to use my equipment and using light and settings is all a part of the job. However, now that we no longer send film to a lab to be processed, photographers have become the lab! It is important to know how to process an image for the best possible viewing. This includes being sure it always appears natural, but also the ability to create beautiful art. Digital painting, compositing (not using AI unless requested) and simply making an image look exactly as I saw it, is all a part of knowing how to use the software available to me.

I love helping people by teaching them how to use the software I find the most helpful, as well as understanding their camera and what their expectations of their photography is.
