A MOMENT IN TIME

Wildlife is not just a snapshot of an animal. It's a story about a moment in time that you shared space with that creature.

Big Momma

This extra large Kodiak Brown Bear sow standing up to be sure the coast was clear and the fight between two other sows down below was finished before she could bring her cub back down to the river.

Danger Zone To Adorable

I spent 6 days tent camping at Frazer Lake, in Kodiak, this summer and had so many wonderful opportunities to photograph many different sets of sows and cubs. This pair was especially entertaining and we were excited every time they came bc they were show stealers!

Can We Be Friends?

Sweet little Kodiak brown bear cub climbed up the side of the rock face to check out the black billed magpie. It was an adorable moment.

My Heart

Beautiful sow with a lovely heart shaped face stole my heart.

Just Checking

Young sow looking over her shoulder checking to see where I am. I was across the river, on the other bank, and made sure to give her plenty of space for her to feel comfortable to eat her catch.

I Can Never Leave

Having access to these amazing creatures and all the beauty that Alaska has to offer, has premaritally engrained Alaska in my heart and soul.

Innocence

Sweetness

Old Girl

A senior sow who was pretty much queen of Frazer Lake.

Intimacy

Sometimes I'm lucky enough to have a few moments with a bear, on my own, and get to photograph it in an intimate setting.
