I'm an arachnology enthusiast, naturalist, and a nature photographer with a focus on macro. I moved from Texas to Minnesota in 2024, and it's been a blast exploring my new home state!

My absolute favorite critters to observe, study, and photograph are spiders, but I'm also a huge fan of herps and hymenopterans.

Please note: I am very open to folks using my photos for educational or scientific purposes - I only ask that you send me a message to tell me a bit about the material the photo(s) will be used in to ensure it will be factual/scientifically accurate, and provide appropriate credit. I've had photos used in dozens of publications now, and love to know where they end up!!!
