Winter Sunset

A colorful winter sunset in Calgary, lights up the sky in December.

Three Sisters

A nicely lit scene of the Three Sisters in Canmore during sunset.

Foggy Day

A winter foggy day in Calgary creates an eerie yet peaceful scene.

Defiance in the Cold

Perched atop a snow-covered tree on a bitter January morning in Alberta, a northern pygmy owl fixes me with a fierce, unblinking stare. Fluffed against the cold and looking every bit as tough as the weather, it peers slightly downward from its lofty perch, framed by a cloudless blue winter sky. A tiny owl, holding its ground against a very big winter. Captured: January 5, 2025

Ascent to the Den

A determined red fox scales the towering sand dunes along the PEI coastline, carrying a meal back toward her hidden den. The sweeping dunes rise up toward the sky, dwarfing her small frame, while tall grasses from the wetlands below frame her ascent. It’s a quiet glimpse into the daily rhythm of a devoted mother navigating her coastal world.

Breakfast in the Bog

In the quiet light of early morning, a red fox pauses at the edge of a coastal wetland on Prince Edward Island, dinner held firmly in her jaws. She turns back to study me across the waterlogged grasses—curious, alert, and utterly at home in the marshy landscape. The scene captures a brief moment of mutual awareness between observer and hunter. Captured: June 9, 2025

Solitude in the Setting Sun

A red fox basks in the last light of evening on Prince Edward Island, pausing for a rare moment of quiet before returning to her nearby den and the waiting kits inside. Bathed in warm sunset hues, her orange coat glows against the vivid green grass, the scene capturing a brief and peaceful moment of solitude. Captured: June 8, 2025

Evening Snack

A young grizzly cub stands in the tall Kananaskis grasses, barely rising above the blades, a single yellow dandelion hanging from its mouth. More blooms scatter the ground around its feet, blurred in the foreground. Its bright claws rest at its sides as it looks on with a gentle, curious expression. A thick forest softens into the background while Mom stays close, keeping a careful watch as I photographed the moment from a blind at a safe distance. Captured: June 19, 2025

Burn Pile

A Great Grey Owl perched atop a tangle of old burn-pile logs near Cochrane, Alberta. Framed by a glowing backlit forest of spring greens and yellows, its steady gaze feels both ancient and unshakeably present. Captured April 13, 2025.

Snowflake on Blue

This snowflake was photographed on my balcony in Edmonton in January 2025. It landed on the blue railing and held its shape long enough to capture its full crystal structure. The colour behind it is entirely natural and comes from the railing itself. No digital enhancement was used to alter the background or the details of the snowflake. The image reflects the scene exactly as it appeared during a cold winter moment.

Lion-Faced Bumblebee

This bumblebee was photographed in September at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden during an early morning visit. It was feeding on a flower, and the soft pink background comes naturally from another bloom positioned behind it in the field. The bee’s facial features appeared unusually bold and fluffy, giving it a subtle, lionlike expression. Everything in the scene was captured as found, with no digital changes to the background or colours.

Grasshopper After Fungal Attack

This grasshopper was photographed at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden on a dewy morning. It was already dead when I found it, with a natural fungal or mold-like coating beginning to form on the surface of its body. I documented the insect exactly as it appeared in the field without moving or adjusting it. The background is entirely natural, reflecting the vegetation and light at the scene. No digital alterations were made.

Arctic Circle Marker, Baffin Island

A small sign marking the start of the Arctic Circle, in Akshayuk Pass, Nunavut. Mount Thor is visible in the background, on the right.

Owl River Shelter, Akshayuk Pass, Nunavut

The Owl River emergency shelter, the second shelter on the north side of Akshayuk Pass. The tower on the right is what is left of a radio tower used for communication with Parks Canada.

North Pangnirtung Fiord, Nunavut

Near the end of the North Pangnirtung Fiord, at the northern end of Akshayuk Pass. In the background is the North Pang emergency shelter, the northernmost shelter in Auyuittuq National Park.

Dewlit Dragonfly

I photographed this dragonfly at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden in August at around 3am, during a naturally dewy night. The moisture covering the insect formed on its own; nothing was sprayed or applied. The dragonfly was resting on vegetation and remained untouched throughout the process. I used a blue colour card behind the subject to create a clean backdrop while shooting in the field. The scene was captured entirely in-camera with no digital enhancement to the background.

Rare Metallic Beetle

This metallic beetle was photographed in Drumheller, Alberta in August 2025. It is a species that is not commonly seen in the area, which made the encounter especially memorable. The beetle’s reflective surface caught the early light beautifully. I held a purple and pink colour card behind the subject to create a smooth background while shooting outdoors. The insect stayed in its natural position, and the background was achieved entirely in-camera without digital enhancement.
