I’m a wildlife photographer based in Arkansas, and my work focuses on capturing natural moments that reveal the lives of animals in their habitats. Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours observing, studying, and documenting wildlife to bring attention to species and environments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

My photography has been featured in major publications, including National Geographic, the Smithsonian Channel, and regional magazines like Arkansas Living. My work has even found its way into a coloring book by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and onto interpretive signs at Mine Kill State Park, helping others learn about and appreciate the natural world.

Much of my work involves the wildlife of Arkansas, where I often capture moments in my own backyard—documenting everything from the playful antics of Fox Squirrels at my birdbath to the seasonal migration of birds like Yellow-billed Cuckoos. I’ve also captured Double-crested Cormorants and other notable species at places like Kerr Dam, adding to a diverse portfolio of Arkansas wildlife.

I use my blog to share stories, technical insights, and reflections on what it takes to photograph wildlife authentically. It’s also a place where I hope to inspire others to view animals not as subjects but as integral parts of complex ecosystems worth protecting. Conservation matters to me, and I believe that photography can bring greater awareness to the importance of preserving natural habitats.

My hope is that my photos and stories help others understand and appreciate the incredible diversity of wildlife around us. Whether you’re a nature lover, a photographer, or simply curious, I invite you to explore my blog and join me in supporting efforts to protect wildlife and natural resources.
