We are freelance photographers specializing in nature and outdoor recreation. For more than twenty years we have been searching out North America’s most outstanding locations for both scenic and wildlife photography, even going so far as to be marooned on a deserted tropical island. And we would love for you to join us on our next adventure! |

Our work has appeared in nearly all of the major nature publications and some prominent travel magazines, including Audubon Calendars, Backpacker, Birder’s World, Defenders, Islands, Men’s Journal, National Geographic Traveler, National/International Wildlife, Natural History, Ranger Rick and Sierra Club Calendars. Our wildlife images decorate the tails of several of Frontier Airlines’ jets, and we have earned numerous awards in the Nature’s Best International Photographic Competition. |

In 2003, not only did we have a second place in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest, but one of our participants also did quite well in the same contest with a photo he took on one of our tours. We can’t promise that everyone who joins us will be so lucky, but we can promise that we will gladly share all of our photographic knowledge with you--even going so far as to advise you on marketing efforts if you are inclined that way. |
| We are more than just skilled photographers and instructors. We are also Certified International Tour Managers, which means we are used to ensuring that our traveling companions have a great time, regardless of where they are traveling and what they are doing. The job is particularly fulfilling when it involves bringing guests face to face with the great outdoors and the creatures that call it home. Our instructional photo tours have introduced us to many wonderful friends from all around the world, and we’re looking forward to meeting many more. We’re also looking forward to showing you a great time while you compose calendar-quality images. | |
