Message
I have been doing fine art photography for 27 years. The defining highlight of my career is having two of my wildlife photographs selected for National Geographic’s prestigious Daily Dozen—an incredible honor, given its reputation for showcasing some of the world’s most extraordinary photography. The Daily Dozen featured twelve standout photos selected by National Geographic editors from the global pool of submissions. These selections were celebrated for their exceptional quality and storytelling across various genres, including wildlife, landscapes, and cultural moments.
Statement
I want to share glimpses of different lives from all perspectives, from creatures great and small. With each picture, we can see a glimpse into the life of another. With each glimpse, we can better envision the different stories of our world. One story alone does not compose the book of life; I hope that through my collection, I can record more chapters of that book for you to read, as you see All Stories Great and Small.
I’m a Virginia Master Naturalist and most of all I want to share the amazing world I see through the lens of my fine art photography. I’ve been known to sit in the same spot for days to capture just the perfect moment, and I want to bring those moments to everyone, so we can share and delight in discoveries. I hope that we can marvel together at the little details of the world and the uniqueness that each living creature brings us!
