Profile pic: Dressed in winter attire, a black-capped chickadee sits on my head; I'm laugh-smiling at the experience.

Banner pic: A road leads from foreground to horizon in rural Alberta. All around are fields of alternating green and yellow (canola) blue sky with some puffy clouds above.

Photo of myself in early winter with hand slightly outstretched with some wild birdseed in my palm. Two chickadees are perched on my finger tips, and I am smiling in delight. A mix of birch and aspen with brown leaves are in soft focus in the background.

Hello! I'm a wildlife photographer in Alberta, Canada. With easy access to Rockies, badlands, rolling foothills, and open skies, nature is my playground. I also travel to other parts of the globe when I can, to capture the beauty of the wider world as well.

DM me about custom prints of any of my images.

Macro photo of a yellow and burgundy orchid with ripply side-petals and a smattering of "freckles." A second, softly blurred orchid of the same kind is in the background. A chipmunk sits on a large rock and munches on a dandelion bud. Crescent Falls in Alberta, Canada. Photographer POV: standing on the rocks at the edge of the pool, at the base of one waterfall, which serves as the top of the next cascading fall, which cascades out the bottom left side of the image. Northern lights glow green with a hint of purple, rippling in the sky above Astotin Lake, at Elk Island National Park in Alberta, Canada. The iconic tree-covered island in the middle of the lake is silhouetted in the background on the left, with the aurora on the right.

My friend gave me this blanket for Christmas, but let's be real--it was never really mine.

#Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

A black cat and tabby cat lay loaf-like on a couch, on top of a navy blue blanket (the kind with that soft white sherpa fabric on the back). They are both looking at me, the photographer, as if to say, "what? You got up. This is ours now."

The #ArtAdventCalendar is one of my favourite hashtag scrolls--beautiful, creative, rich, diverse work--all started by a local Edmonton #Artist, @jayispainting@mastodon.art

I participated for several years on the former socials; this will be my first go at it on Mastodon. Mostly my photography; sketches and watercolour if I'm feeling particularly brave.

I will be challenging myself this year to post only photos taken in 2025 (no oldies).

Can't wait!

Close-up photo of my black cat sitting loaf-like on a polka-dotted bedspread in reds and pinks. She is looking up and to the left of the photo, and her tongue is sticking out ever so slightly--it kinda matches the pink tones in the bedspread.

Hello, #YEG! Guess who just got accepted to this year's Whyte Avenue Art Walk!? As "Alberta’s oldest and largest non-juried visual arts festival," this event is kind of a big deal.

Celebrating its 30th year, it will see 400 artists lining the streets at the height of summer; I’ve always come home with a piece of art when I’ve strolled through. Spots for #Photographers in particular are limited, so I’m extra delighted that I made it in!
