Based in Helena, Montana, I’m a wildlife photographer driven by a deep love for the outdoors and the untamed spaces of the Northern Rocky Mountains. I photograph wildlife in its purest form—no bait, no barriers, no manipulation—just animals living as they were meant to, on their own terms.

What sets my photography apart is the emotion, personality, and behavior I strive to reveal in every shot. I don’t just document wildlife; I aim to connect you to the soul of the animal and the raw beauty of its landscape. Whether it’s the fierce determination of a badger as it digs up its next meal or the ghostlike stillness of a great gray owl on the hunt, I’m drawn to those quiet, powerful moments that tell a story.

I walk the trails less traveled, spending long hours in the field, waiting for those real moments to unfold. No heavy edits, no artificial saturation—just nature as it is: unpredictable, breathtaking, and honest.

My work has been featured in award-winning magazines, in galleries and art exhibits. I’m proud to have received recognition for the way I frame wildlife in its natural state. From high-definition metal pieces that make a moment pop to more accessible open edition prints, my offerings span a wide range of species—big and small—each captured with respect and awe.

If you’re looking for art that doesn’t just show wildlife, but embraces it, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for stopping by.
