It's World Otter Day! I had the incredible privilege of seeing this mom and otter pup during a trip to Morro Bay earlier this month.

There are still a couple of weeks left of the campaign. As an otter advocate, help me and Elakha Alliance raise funds for their efforts to restore sea otter populations back to their native habitat of Oregon. One day we could see otter pups and mums off the coast there, too! 🦦

The "We Otter Bring Them Back to Oregon" campaign has officially kicked off! Join me in supporting the Elakha Alliance in their mission of reintroducing sea otters to their native habitat along the Oregon coast. As a keystone species, otters are vital to the health of our coasts.

These photos are from a trip in February north of Brookings. The only thing missing from these gorgeous views? Frolicking sea otters. 🦦

Happy Earth Day! 🦦
Did you know that southern sea otters have reclaimed only 13% of their historic range? I don't know about you, but I'd like to see the southern and northern sea otter populations floating in rafts and holding hands all up and down their historic home of the Pacific Coast.

I'm excited to be an otter advocate this May and June, promoting the Elakha Alliance's "We Otter Bring Them Back" campaign. Help us raise funds that support bringing otters back to the Oregon coastline. You know it otter be the case!

Sneak peek of sea otter (!!) photos from this past weekend. Otterly obsessed with these little guys, and it was a dream come true to return to Morro Bay to photograph them. 🦦 Lots more to come!

Beckett and Jedi are some adorable poodles who I've had the pleasure of making digital art for twice now.

Their owner asked for a colorful edit, which led me down a rabbit hole of different style options. Which is your favorite?
