About ME

I am a nature nerd equipped with a full-frame camera, some fun art lenses, a Jeep, an adventurous spirit, and in-depth knowledge of the outdoors. I am a self-taught nature photographer, a naturalist, and a conservationist in my vocation. 

Before obtaining a professional-level camera, I garnered a small following on social media for my cell phone photography, particularly of sunrises and sunsets. Frustrated with the limitations of small photo sensors, I moved to a full-frame camera. I quickly began attending field workshops where I learned to transition my artistic vision to the new-to-me format. With the sun being an important aspect of my imagery, I adopted the studio name Sunray Seeker Photography for my high-resolution images. In the past few years, I have added night photography to my skillset.

As a naturalist, I love to study the environment through the camera lens, both near and far, tiny and grand, in dark and light. As a conservationist, I strive to inspire environmental stewardship through beautiful portrayals of the outdoors and conveyance of the stories behind them. As an artist, I enjoy working with sunrays and their interaction with our world: sunrays flooding landscapes, bringing intense colors to clouds, highlighting textures of flora and fauna, and the edge of the sun’s reach dancing across a dark sky as twilight turns to night.

Thank you for perusing my website and socials.
