Discover the enchantment of wildlife through my lens, where every encounter is a captivating tale waiting to be told

Since discovering the diverse wildlife of the Quabbin Reservoir in Massachusetts, I’ve become an avid naturalist having many species of interest that I’ll go to great lengths to seek out. I’ve witnessed unique behaviors of rare animals that not many others get to experience. I’ve spent countless hours in the woods seeking out moose, river otters, beavers, and black bears. On days where it’s too hot for large mammals, I’ve set off on another passion, reptiles.

I’ve since moved to Georgia and have begun to explore the different wildlife found there due to a warmer climate. I’m now spending long days at the amazing Chattahoochie River where I’m equally likely to see a river otter as I am a 5-foot venomous snake!

My goal with this website is not to showcase my photography, but to use my favorite photos to help tell stories about my journeys into the woods to witness the best wildlife my region has to offer in its natural habitat.

Wildlife Encounters: This is the main focus of this site. Here, I will upload photos and stories of my favorite wildlife encounters as often as I can!

Passion Projects: Visit this page to explore the research I've conducted out of personal interest!

In The Field: I’ve designated this page to provide tips on how to have more encounters with your favorite species in the wild!

Photo Dump: Some photos I like but not quite enough to make the “Wildlife Encounters” page!

I hope you enjoy!
