I'm a Utah based wildlife photographer specializing in birds of prey. My love for raptors sparked three years ago, when a gorgeous American Kestrel landed on the roof of my home. In that moment, I realized just how much beauty in nature I'd been overlooking. Since then, I’ve spent as much time as I can outdoors, photographing all kinds of birds, from owls and falcons to eagles and kites, across th

e American West and beyond. I love observing animals, learning about their behaviors, and sharing those moments with others. Through photography, I’ve connected with people from all over the world, and nothing makes me happier than helping someone notice birds for the first time or care a little more about protecting natural spaces. Sharing these photos is my way of advocating for the wildlife I adore, and through it, I hope to help others fall in love with them too. Thank you for reading and for supporting my work!

Earlier this year, I found a pair of western screech owls nesting in a tree. I went back yesterday to see if they were home, only to find a pile of wood chips where the tree used to be.

The tree was alive, so I don't know why it was cut down - but this is such a soul crushing part about doing wildlife photography.

You spend months, even years sometimes looking for different animals just for the opportunity to observe them.

You watch them living their lives, feeding their babies, and then just like that - you also watch them lose their home.

Yesterday reminded me why it's so important to share photos, and to share wildlife with other people.

I wonder, did anyone know they were there? I did. How many people walked by everyday and didn't notice them? How many people would miss them now if they had seen what I had seen.

I'm not sure why this was cut down, but I wish I'd kept up with this area more.

Here are some photos and videos I took of this lovely pair that used to call this tree home. I hope they have found a cozy new nest. ❤️

a moment with the smallest owl in the world. ❤️

I will never forget the days I got to spend with this tiny predator. When I imagined encountering an Elf Owl, I thought if I was lucky - maybe I could see one in the dark. MAYBE I could get a blurry shot as evidence if I maxed out my ISO.

I never thought I'd get to watch one fly around while there was still light. I don't know if I'll ever get this lucky again, but I'm so grateful I got to experience this. 🥹
