JANUARY 2019
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
An American white pelican soars over the Teton Mountains. With a nearly nine foot wingspan, this is one of the largest birds found in North America.
FEBRUARY 2019
San Juan Island, WA - Friday Harbor
While visiting San Juan Island off the coast of Washington, I learned there was a population of foxes living on the Southern tip. I got up very early and just after sunrise, I spotted two silver foxes. I spent twenty minutes watching and photographing them. Occasionally they looked up at me and seemingly decided I wasn’t a threat to their breakfast hunt.
MARCH 2019
Olympic National Park
While hiking in the Hoh rain forest, I spotted this bull elk. I photographed this elk for almost an hour while he ate and sipped water from a creek.
APRIL 2019
Yellowstone National Park
A crowd gathered to watch this coyote in Hayden Valley of Yellowstone National Park. It started running parallel to the road so I went ahead a quarter of a mile hoping to get a closer look. I took this photograph as it ran right in front of me and it’s eyes met mine…
MAY 2019
Mt. Saint Helen's - Skamania County, WA
I adore creatures large and small. This little chipmunk was hanging around a parking lot in the Mt. Saint Helen's recreation area. The afternoon light created a classic scene I could imagine in any backyard.
JUNE 2019
La Jolla, CA
I was sent to San Diego for a corporate shoot. When I wasn't shooting for my client, I spent a lot of time along the coast capturing the wildlife of the Pacific. The seals were particularly fun to watch and photograph. I spent hours enjoying the wild seals playing, sleeping, and swimming. Happy Summer everyone!
JULY 2019
The Wild Animal Sanctuary - Keenesburg, CO
Taken at one of my absolutely favorite sanctuaries, I spent hours photographing the rescued animals. I got really lucky being in the right place when this wolf arched its neck and let out a primal howl. It gave me chills.
The Elephant Sanctuary - South Africa
This elephant was rescued and lives in a sanctuary.
This was taken in 2010 on my first trip to Africa. I was shooting for a food NGO and only had a few days off. I made sure to find the elephants! I spent my first day off at this sanctuary and my other day off on a safari. I was always interested in conservation photography and this trip led to the creation of my environmental media company, Wildlinks.
SEPTEMBER 2019
Yellowstone National Park
I took several unmarked roads to a small campground and found this pronghorn. These animals are so striking and I did my best to photograph it’s regal appearance.
OCTOBER 2019
(Waterton Lakes National Park of Canada)
This mama moose was standing over her young tired calf. Mostly covered by the underbrush, I could only see a little part of the baby. Moose have such a distinct shape and size. I find them so beautiful and equally dangerous. I was of course using a telephoto lens and keeping my distance. A mama moose can be more dangerous than a bull.
