Finally got around to editing some shots from my last trip to Grand Teton, and I couldn't resist this aspen grove. 🏔ïļ There’s something about how they naturally framed that opening that felt so peaceful.

I actually took a break from my usual
Eyes on the prize. 🏔ïļ

There’s something incredibly humbling about locking eyes with a Bighorn ram.  This guy was remarkably poised against the winter chill at the National Elk Refuge.  Look at the texture on those horn.  Each ridge tells a st

Grand Teton National Park doesn't pull any punches once the snow starts falling.  During our workshop a few weeks ago, I was hoping for some atmosphere, and this bull moose delivered.  Watching him navigate the deep brush w
Meeting some of the incredible avian ambassadors at @tetonraptorcenter in Moose, WY! ðŸĶ…âœĻ

These birds aren’t just beautiful, they are “teachers” helping to advance raptor conservation through education, research, and rehabilitation.

There is nothing quite like the Teton Range in mid-winter.  While this is one of the most iconic vistas in Wyoming, seeing it blanketed in fresh snow with that first light hitting the clouds feels like seeing it f
A window to something greater.

There are few places where the architecture feels like a conversation with the landscape.  Standing inside the Chapel of the Transfiguration, the world outside becomes the altar.  The silence of the logs, the silhouett

There’s nothing quite like the sound of Sandhill Cranes waking up at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge.  I spent a weekend in Decatur, AL, watching thousands of these “primeval” birds nav
I know, I know... I should probably apologize for the "Ram-page" of photos lately (see what I did there?). 🐑😅 But honestly, when the winter light hits like this at the National Elk Refuge, I don't really have a choice but share more!

Winter looks good on him. ❄ïļðŸ

There is something so peaceful about watching a Bighorn Sheep ram navigate the snowy sagebrush at the National Elk Refuge.  While the elk usually get the headlines in Jackson, these guys are the true mountain athletes
Who needs an air traffic controller when you’ve got this much "cranium" power? 🏗ïļâœˆïļ

There is something magical about winter in Moose, Wyoming, and especially when you get to spend it with Cosmo. ❄ïļðŸĶ‰

We recently visited the Teton Raptor Center, and once again, they reminded us why we love coming back.  They are always such a welcom
The shot I wanted vs. the shot I got. ðŸ“ļ

I spent both mornings this past weekend out at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge with a very specific vision in mind.  I had a particular composition planned out, but the weather and birds had other plans.  Sa
A closer look at the Grand Teton, where the interplay of light, shadow, and swirling clouds created such dramatic textures.  Opted for a black and white conversion here to really emphasize the forms and mood, stripping away color distractions.

Another day, another conversation with the locals at Wheeler NWR! ðŸ—ĢïļðŸĶĒ

If you’ve ever been to the refuge during migration season, you know the sound of a Sandhill Crane is something you never forget. It’s prehistoric, loud, and, in this
Golden hour at Wheeler Wildlife Refuge never disappoints. âœĻ

There is something deeply prehistoric about the sight and sound of Sandhill Cranes.  These birds belong to one of the oldest living species on the planet, and watching them glide through th

There is something so meditative about the patterns of aspen bark, especially when they’re framed by a fresh Wyoming snowfall.  These "eyes" tell the story of the tree's growth, and in the quiet o
Winter has its own way of transforming the wild! ðŸŒĻïļ This majestic bull moose in Grand Teton National Park recently shed one of his impressive antlers, a natural, annual process.
