Since moving to Florida, I’ve fallen in love — not just with the sunshine, but with the wild heart of this state. At first, it was the Florida Black Bear that drew me in, my favorite animal in the world. But over time, that love grew. I started seeking out snakes, birds, and every creature that makes Florida’s wilderness so unique.

At the start of 2025, I finally got my camera, and it became my window into a hidden world. In just these few months, I’ve been able to capture moments I once only dreamed of — Florida Black Bears, Bobcats, Everglades Mink, Red and Grey Foxes, North American River Otters, Sherman’s Fox Squirrels, American Flamingos, Snail Kites, Ghost orchid, Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake, Coral snake, Eastern Hognose Snake, Florida Cottonmouths, Dusky Pygmy Rattlesnakes, Rough Green Snakes, Timber Rattlesnake, Great Horned Owl, Eastern Screech Owls, Burrowing Owl, Northern Bobwhites, Buntings, Crested CaraCaras and much more!

I pour everything I have into this — countless hours in the field, traveling all over the state, chasing rare and elusive species. My photography isn’t just pictures; it’s my way of showing people the beauty worth protecting. But as a parent raising a child, my resources are limited. And now, with my camera and lens no longer working, I’m at risk of losing the one tool I need to keep showing people Florida's wild gems.

If you can help me replace it, you wouldn’t just be helping me — you’d be helping keep Florida’s wild beauty alive in images that can inspire, educate, and protect. Any support, no matter the size, would mean the world to me.
