My wildlife photography begins with quiet observation — a willingness to sit still long enough for the land to reveal its secrets. Colorado is where this journey started, among the forests, foothills, and alpine valleys where bison move in slow, heavy silence and elk call into the cold morning air.

What draws me to wildlife isn’t simply the sight of an animal, but the moment where personality appears: the curiosity in a bird tilting its head toward the sun, the confidence of a bison standing alone in tall grass, the vulnerability of a young deer frozen in stillness. These moments are fleeting, personal, and earned through patience, respect, and presence. Birds have become a particularly meaningful part of my work — from familiar Colorado species to unexpected encounters in distant places. As I travel farther abroad, my collection continues to grow, revealing new behaviors, new environments, and new expressions of life.

I believe that photographing wildlife is an act of connection and responsibility. Each image is a reminder that these creatures live entire lives parallel to ours, shaped by instinct, survival, and the changing world around them. Through my photographs, I hope to create a space where people pause long enough to see wild animals not as symbols or scenery, but as individuals with presence, emotion, and dignity. At its heart, my wildlife photography is a celebration of shared earth — a visual record of encounters that deepen our awareness of the beauty, complexity, and fragile magic of the natural world.
