I am a wildlife photographer specializing in photographing wild animals in their natural habitats. I have a lifelong fascination with nature that drives my passion to document and portray the uniqueness of these animals. My hope is that these photographs will cause you to stop and take notice of the infinite diversity of the natural world around you and spark a desire in you to protect the natural environment these animals need to survive. The majority of photographs on this website were taken in east-central Illinois, with a few from Southern Illinois and Northeastern Illinois. I hope you enjoy the photo galleries which are updated on a regular basis. All images on this site are available for purchase. To purchase a photo please fill out the contact form, email, or call and include the full image ID # that is in fine print below the image title which appears by mousing over the image. |
