I’m amazed by the sheer abundance and variety of wildlife here in Kenya! From Amboseli to the Mara, and Lentorre to Laikipia, there has been so much to take in and photograph.

This photo is with Dickson, my guide for six days in the Mara, as we said goodbye at the airstrip. When photographing from a vehicle, so much depends on the person behind the wheel. Getting into the right position for the light, background, and angle is a team effort, and the guide deserves a share of the credit for the photographs that come home with us.

Thank you, Dickson, for sharing the Mara with me and making those six days so memorable. Looking forward to sharing some of my wildlife photographs with you all!

Still smiling thinking about how much fun we had during the last fox workshop.

These are some of the participants from the group and genuinely some of my favorite people to spend time in the field with. So many laughs, great conversations, and memorable moments together, both with and without the foxes.

I’m especially grateful that next year’s fox workshop is now completely full, and it makes me even happier that almost half of the group will be returning participants. Having people choose to come back and photograph together again means a lot to me.

For anyone who has been asking about other opportunities, I still have a couple of spots available for my Japan Winter Wildlife Workshop in February 2027. We’ll be photographing the incredible winter wildlife of Hokkaido, with lots of opportunities for creative photography, minimalism, slow shutter work, and beautiful winter atmosphere.

Feeling very thankful for the people photography has brought into my life—and already looking forward to the next adventure.

Three mothers. Three different families. The same job.

To every mother — human and otherwise — who keeps showing up: thank you. Today and every day.

We called him Cinnamon. My favorite red fox kit I had the privilege of photographing in 2021 - I still see him around, now an energetic adult.

Fox kits learn to hunt by ambushing each other. Here he’s airborne over his sibling (you can just see the black ear in the grass), all four feet off the ground in the classic mousing arc.

Play is never just play.

Do you know this is one family? The mother is a classic red fox. Her kits are silver phase - same species (Vulpes vulpes), same litter. A single litter can contain red, cross, and silver siblings. It’s one of the most beautiful examples I know of genetic diversity in North American wildlife.

I spent many hours watching this family before this moment happened. In wildlife photography, patience is important, but so are techniques.

If photographing foxes ethically is something you’ve been wanting to learn, I’m running a small-group workshop next month — focused on fieldcraft as much as camera technique. A few spots left. Link in bio, or DM me.

Red, cross, or silver - which one would you have picked as your favorite?

I loved this moment when the color of the sky matched the lupines in the foreground.

A few spots are open in my Red Fox Workshop. DM me if you are interested.

A precious moment from my 2025 trip to the Alaskan wilderness.

This spring cub was still wearing its natal collar (a temporary ring of light-colored fur around the neck and shoulders), which gives a nice sense of just how young it was. I have many more images from that trip that I plan to share in May and June. For now, I am deep in fox photos, but took a little break to process this one because I had a hypothesis I wanted to verify.

It’s nice to see this photo I sold to Visit Mt. St. Helens being used so widely. They had it displayed in the rest area on I5 for quite a few years and it was in their gift shop in various forms. I still vividly remember the weekend morning when I took it. Good memories

This view makes me think ahead to summer hiking.

Wildflowers in full bloom, Mt. St. Helens in the distance, and clear skies that make you want to stay outside all day.

The trails around the Mt. St. Helens area offer a mix of forest walks, lava fields, and open viewpoints that really show how this landscape has changed and recovered over time. It’s a good place to get out, move, and explore something different.

Looking forward to more days on the trail, long hikes, and seeing this place in full summer form again.

A moment like this can look like luck. But when a once-in-a-lifetime scene unfolds in front of you, the real question is: are you ready to capture the strongest version of it?

Have you trained yourself enough to build the right habits so the right decisions happen almost as muscle memory? So instead of forgetting to use a useful technique or fumbling with settings, you can stay present and capture the moment at its full potential.

That is a big part of what I focus on in my workshops: building the field discipline and habits that help photographers make fewer mistakes and create strong images more reliably.

This fox moment lasted only seconds. Being ready—and, more importantly, having the right habits—made all the difference.

DM me if you are interested in my upcoming workshops.
