The Naturalist’s Edge

As a Certified Florida Master Naturalist through the University of Florida, I bring a deep understanding of ecosystems and wildlife behavior to every photo story, tour, and workshop.

I don’t just teach you how to use your camera, I help you understand the “why” behind animal behavior. This training allows me to create immersive experiences that connect professional photography with conservation and ecological awareness.

When I’m not photographing, you’ll find me kayaking or planning the next adventure.
