One of the most unique birds I saw at Galápagos, I love the texture of the feathers on the Blue Footed Booby. They’re surprisingly unfazed by people. I had one walk between my legs while we were on a hike!

Another from my trip to the Galápagos Islands. This albatross was perfectly lit by the setting sun.

Unlike the old Galápagos tortious I shared previously, this one was much more enthusiastic. He even smiled for the camera! #photography #wildlife #turtles

One of the most impressive animals I saw on my trip to the Galápagos Islands was the Galapagos Tortoise. They’re far larger than anything I expected. This one was well over a 100 years old. #photography #wildlife #turtles

First ever video taken with my new drone! This was at Kaaterskill Falls in NY. It was cooold out that day, but I’d say it was worth it. #winter #waterfall #videography #drones

Merry Christmas! Scary day yesterday, went skiing at Hunter Mountain and my friend took a hard fall. Couldn’t remember how she got there, forgot the last month, and couldn’t remember anything longer than 2 minutes. Went to the ER and she’s recovering, but PLEASE wear a helmet if you ski! #skiing

A Blue Iguana from the Cayman Islands. They let you get surprisingly close to them!

Throwback to a neat starfish I saw by the shore during a trip to the Cayman Islands.

This yellow crowned night heron is a pretty good embodiment of how I feel on Monday mornings. Taken at the Galápagos Islands.

Last of my Galapagos sea lions. Never thought I’d see a log look as comfy as it does in this shot.

Here’s another shot from my trip to the Galápagos Islands. Found this sea lion relaxing between two rocks. #photography #wildlife

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m forever thankful for my parents. They raised me, gave me unconditional love and support, and also got me into photography! If you like my work, please follow my mom! Her work is way better than mine, so please help motivate her to post more 😁

Another from the archive, this one from my trip to Glacier National Park. Caught this marmot peeking out through the grassy hillside while on a hike.

Last fall I visited and fell in love with Rickett’s Glen in north central PA. It is a state park encompassing two creeks that feed down in a “V” to converge with each other. Between the hike down one side and then back up the other side, there are around 26 waterfalls. Here is one of them.

From the archive. I don’t remember where this was, some hidden falls in Utah or Arizona I believe? I was too young at the time to remember now. Let me know if you recognize these falls.

Seems everyone loved my cat! Here’s Max earlier this year when he was still a kitten. Definitely my favorite photo of him.

Happy Friday all! Here’s my cat Max who wanted decided he wanted to spy on me last night. Felt this picture was too funny not to share

One of the prettiest plants I’ve seen, I love the gradient of colors over the flowers on this Lantana. Probably my favorite macro shot.

As we say goodbye to the colors of fall foliage, I thought I’d share this shot from Acadia National Park.

Another attempt at macro photography, I took this shot of a tall anemone during my trip to Watkins Glen. Love the fruits, the spikes in the middle, that it produces.
