Hello! I'm a wildlife photographer in Alberta, Canada. With easy access to Rockies, badlands, rolling foothills, and open skies, nature is my playground. I also travel to other parts of the globe when I can, to capture the beauty of the wider world as well.

DM me about custom prints of any of my images.

Listen, I know it's #Caturday, but can I just take a minute to show you how lovely the sky was last night?

Today in the language of "both/and":

Imperfect and beautiful
Imperfect and vibrant
Imperfect and unique
Imperfect and... (what would you add?)

I'm a decent green thumb, but #orchids are one of those flowers I'm much better at photographing than growing. Super excited for the Orchid Fair at the #EnjoyCentre in #StAlbert this wknd. This means new work coming soon! For now, here are some shots from previous yrs, two of which were awarded as part of the Orchid Society of Alberta's juried art show in 2023.

Check it out! I officially have an online shop!

Look what came in the mail today! Seeing my work in print never gets old! (The velvety feel of the cardstock covers is also a nice touch--literally.)

And yes, these beauties are available for purchase! I'm still working on an online storefront, so for now, DM me for details on pricing and shipping

Happy First Day of #Spring! In my part of the world, I won't see flowers open for about another month, but here are some of my favourite early-bloomers!

When I wake up in the mornings, I always pull back my curtains a bit for a live weather check. If there's activity at the bird feeder outside my window, then even better. Today I watched a downy woodpecker having breakfast. Not the one captured in the photo, but it felt like this sweet little bird would be a good subject for today's #WildlifeWednesday.

I owned 3 hamsters as a kid; it's probably no surprise that one of my favourite little creatures to photograph are squirrels, chipmunks, and other close relatives. Please enjoy this cute American Red Squirrel, looking for snacks as I passed by on the trail.
