Do you need an event photographer or even your own personal photographer to follow you around your event? Send me an email at [email protected] to inquire about rates.

Take a look at these samples from two events I photographed that mean the most to me, The Delaware Ovarian Cancer Foundations 5k, and the Philadelphia Walk To End Alzheimer's.

Been enjoying the pair of nesting mocking birds. I don't seem to be bothering them so it lets me get in nice and close for some great photos without needing to crop.

This and others are available through my store (free of water marks) as prints, canvas wraps, and for license to be used for your websites, books, and in some cases advertising (license varies by photo). Please visit https://rtrentphotography.picfair.com/ and take a look!

Teachers!!!!! if you are interested in using any of my wildlife photos in your classroom contact me at [email protected] with the subject line "classroom use" for information on getting free digital photos. (will contain a small "for educational use only" watermark)

Please DO NOT offer yarn, string, or human hair for birds to build nests!

Every year, wildlife rehabilitators intake birds, both babies and adults, with this material wrapped around their feet. It can sometimes result in the bird losing their foot or entire leg from the yarn/string/hair slowly tightening and cutting off circulation .

DO NOT offer laundry dryer lint either. The lint collected in your dryer filter may seem like ideal nesting material, but it isn’t. It will soak up water and may be steeped with chemicals unhealthy for birds, such as remnants of detergent and softener.

Also, a warning about offering pet fur: If your pets are treated with flea/tick/lice treatments that stay on the fur, this can be harmful to birds collecting it for nesting material. DO NOT offer pet hair that has been exposed to any chemicals.

(Thank you, Wildlife Rescue Nests, for the photo and above text.)

Birds have plenty of natural materials for nest building: twigs, dried leaves, grass and flower stems, pine straw, shed snake skins, Spanish moss, lichen, etc.

The best way to help wildlife is by:

1) Planting native plants that attract the native insects they eat;
2) Not using chemical pesticides that actually poison their food supply; and
3) Keeping your cats inside, especially during baby season (spring/summer).

Thank you for caring about wildlife!
