  • Alaska will always have a special place in my heart. No matter how many times I bring groups of photographers up here to see bears, I can never seem to get enough of this amazing place. I am in the middle of yet another Brown Bear adventure with an amazing group of clients and I am loving every minute of it. I recently had a last minute space open up for my second group (August 4th - 9th), so let me know if you are interested and want to join!
  • Introducing the Brand New Sony a7R VI. I have been incredibly fortunate to have extensively used this new camera for the last three weeks photographing a wide variety of bird species around the US. Here are a few of my favorites!

  • Owls are truly magnificent creatures! Every chance I get to photograph and experience one is special. This particular day I was out looking for Great Greys, otherwise known as the "Phantom of the North" up in Canada. Little did I know, a massive storm was rolling in, making for some very unique scenes. Sony a1 II w/ 400mm f/2.8 GM plus 1.4 TC. Shot in 4k, cropped down to 1080p and resized back to 4k for you.
  • Sometimes with nature...one can't help but fall in love at first sight ;) Guanaco (part of the Llama family), taken in Torres del Paine National Park in Southern Patagonia.
  • The Fiery-throated Hummingbird is easily one of the world's most beautiful hummingbirds on the planet. Here you can see it sitting in the rain in Costa Rica. Sony a1 II w/ 600mm f/4 GM #birdsofinstagram #birdphotography #birder @sonyalpha @bbcearth @nature
  • Elephants 🐘 are the true guardians of the natural world...
  • When it comes to the wildlife of Africa, the Lion is king! No animal is more powerful or fierce when it comes down to survival. Share this short clip with anyone that you know that would love to go on an African Safari! #wildlifephotographer #WildlifeReels #africansafari #africa
  • There is nothing quite like witnessing the setting sun while on safari in Africa. With the addition of some amazing wildlife, it becomes a memory you can never forget! #wildlifephotography #sunsetlovers #naturegram #naturegram #africanwildlife
  • Have you ever woken up one morning and been surprised at just how amazing birds are? I can't be the only one ;) #birdsofinstagram #birdnerd #birdsonearth #wildlifephotography
