Photographer, Traveler, Naturalist, Writer

Hi! Welcome to my site.
Let me introduce myself. I am a wildlife and conservation photographer with a strong research background with marine mammals, shorebirds, abalone, sharks, elk and raptors. I’ve worked with all ages as an environmental educator, traveled through the Caribbean as a SCUBA instructor and worked on reef fish research in Belize.  My passion for wildlife photography stems from a love of animals at a young age.
In addition to art shows and exhibits, my images have appeared in Nature Photographer and New Mexico magazines, and the Sierra Club’s Day Hikes in the Santa Fe Area guide book and Whale Tales: Human Interactions with Whales (Vol 2) book.  My daughter and I self-published a poetry and photography book for all ages, Poetry from Nature’s Wonders and are currently working on volume two. 
I like to photograph people, too, in natural light settings.  My current portrait focus is senior portraits for the class of 2020. 

I currently reside in Southeast Washington state.
