Welcome to the gallery!


Start scrolling to explore some of my favorite moments and photos. 


In each caption, you'll see a hashtag that starts with #wacc. WACC stands for Wild / Attracted / Controlled / Captive and it's a simple way to be transparent about the context of a wildlife photo. You'll find a link with more info about WACC at the end of the page.
