Growing up in rural Pennsylvania I fell in love with the isolated wilds, mountains and incredible flora and fauna the area boasts.

As long as I can remember I’ve loved animals. Animal Planet and Steve Irwin were gospel and hunting for snakes and toads over summer breaks was following it.

Fast forward 20 years and that love of the outdoors turned into a love of camping, hiking and eventually photography…. especially when the phone no longer cut capturing the things I was fortunate enough to see!

Wildlife photography is a fantastic hobby that constantly teaches you new things about the places you go and the animals you have the opportunity to see. It drives not just an appreciation for the animal or environ, but also the importance of strong conservation practices to protect these incredible creatures.
