🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: BISON ARE NOT CATS 🚨

They may rub against fences and other objects. They may have big, floofy coats and those adorable faces that make you think, “Oh, you want a little scritch behind the ears...” 🥹

But that doesn’t mean you should. Just wait until you see the look you’d get 👀 Because let’s get one thing straight.

THEY. ARE. NOT. ASKING. FOR. PETS. 🤣

Bison are powerful, unpredictable WILD animals. That fluffy exterior is not an invitation to cuddle, boop, scratch, or otherwise make questionable life choices.

Admire the floof. Photograph the floof. Respect the floof.

But please, for the love of all things fluffy, DO NOT PET THE FLOOF 🦬

Some things are better admired from a VERY respectful distance.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 Local picnic takes an unexpected turn 🎃💀

There were Autumn leaves 🍁 There was coffee ☕️There was a little light reading 📖 There may or may not have been a football game 🏈

And then, there’s Michael.

Let’s just say things got a little out of hand 🤣

Something a little different from my normal posts, I know. And I no longer capture portraits unless asked. But these Halloween shenanigans (swipe through, it gets worse 😉) played out like an artistic masterpiece and have been locked away since 2020. Six years later, it felt like the perfect time they saw the light of day.

Happy Halloween 👻

Before a shutter clicks, a drawing is started, or even a plan for what to create exists, there’s inspiration. 🌿🪶

Sometimes, it begins with a moment like this. Being out on the water, listening to the birds, watching the light dance across the landscape. Just taking it all in 😌

These are the moments that spark creativity, and the places that give us something worth creating for. But natural spaces like these aren’t guaranteed to be here forever. The Land Conservancy of McHenry County works to protect and preserve the land that makes this area so special.

Join us at Art of the Land THIS weekend, Friday, October 23rd & Saturday, October 24th, from 6:30-9pm! An Art Show and Fundraiser (there will be art, art demonstrations, music, food and more) celebrating the landscapes around us while supporting TLC’s conservation work.

Because before nature becomes art, it deserves to be protected as nature. 🩷
 The Starline Factory
400 W Front St, Harvard, IL
*Online purchase of art is available from 7pm on October 23rd until 9pm on October 24th

Hope to see you there!

One minute I’m calmly stalking an osprey. The next, it’s the final 10 seconds on the clock, and I’ve got ONE shot at this 🤣

I’d been keeping an eye on this guy the whole trip, and this particular evening was no different. He did some fishing, ate, and was wiping his face when, unbeknownst to me, the sky EXPLODED.

The color seemed to appear out of nowhere, and suddenly I had what felt like mere seconds to decide whether to grab my tripod, where to move, how to capture it all before the light changed, …

So, handheld it was, sprinkled with a generous helping of hopes and prayers 😮‍💨

The osprey stayed put, of course.
Unbothered.

Now, here’s your challenge: can you spot him 👀

In other, yet related, news, I’ll be exhibiting at 4th Fridays at The Dole in Crystal Lake next Friday! Two pieces were accepted into the Photography Only exhibit (this being one of them), and one was also selected for Mixed Art. I’m beyond excited to be part of both!

If you stumbled across these scenes on a dark, secluded October night, would you keep exploring… or turn around 👀

Nature has a way of feeling mysterious, even otherworldly. But beyond the shadows, eerie sounds, and dancing lights is something very real: a world full of wonder, life, and places worth protecting.

That’s what makes Art of the Land so special. It celebrates the natural world while supporting the Land Conservancy of McHenry County and its work to preserve the land for future generations 🩷

I’m honored to have three pieces included:
Unfolding, Haunting Silence, and The Watcher Within.

The plan was a sunrise. It just wasn’t THIS sunrise 🤣

I headed out at 5am hoping for a little magic. With thick clouds sitting along the horizon, and nothing else in the sky, things weren’t looking promising. I found my spot, but just wasn’t loving my lens/angle/location/… combination, and nothing was happening. Yeah, I tapped out.

Instead of packing it up and immediately leaving, I switched to my zoom lens and moved to another spot to experiment with some compositions for my next try. Of course that’s when the sky came alive. Cue the frantic scrambling to get the shot 🤪

Here’s the thing about nature photography: You can plan, research, check forecasts, set alarms, and drive miles out of your way, but ultimately, you’re at Mother Nature’s mercy. Sometimes it’s failed attempt after failed attempt, lost sleep, and a whole lot of money spent on gas, among other things. But every once in a while, the timing comes together, and you get to bring a moment like this home.

This was one of those mornings 🌅

Dear world, can we just take a moment 🩷

A sunrise. A sunset. Those little moments when the world puts on a show and you can’t help but stop and take it all in 😌 That’s why I keep reaching for my camera. I want to hold on to that feeling, share it with others, and remind us of what a beautiful world we have to look after.

When I saw Love Letters as the theme for Lure of the Local 5, sunrise and sunset images felt like a pretty natural fit. Sometimes, the world says it best without a single word.

Here’s a little sneak peek at the three pieces that I’m humbled to be part of the exhibition. The full reveal comes next Friday! 😉

💌 Lure of the Local 5: Love Letters 📅 Reception October 16th | 6–9pm 📍 175 N. Archer Avenue, Mundelein, IL

Also open Saturdays and Sundays through November 22nd, 11am-5pm

Same bird. Two lenses. Two completely different perspectives 👀

I photographed this Great Blue Heron from two very different angles and areas, and I love how completely different the resulting images feel. One lets you get right up into the details (Telephoto Zoom, standing in the reeds). The other pulls you back and lets you see him as part of the landscape around him (Wide Angle, lying ground level in mud).

And honestly, I think that’s one of the things I love most about photography. Sometimes changing your perspective changes the whole story 🩷

Which one would you choose…The close-up or the wider view?

This is Ted🦉
Ted is red ❤️
A Red Morph Eastern Screech owl that is🦉❤️

Sitting at single digits in height, this little owl proves that you don’t have to be big to own the spotlight. Those piercing eyes? Pure attitude.

🩷 Double tap if this owl just stared into your soul.
