Bosque Del Apache and White Sands are now sold out. Thanks so much for your interest, and feel free to send me a message if you'd like to be put on the wait list.
What an amazing trip we had to Kenya again this past August. We witnessed the breathtaking migration, saw Elephants nursing on their moms, witnessed Cheetahs attempting to tag team a hunt, and a Lioness take down a Wildebeest. There were so many magical moments and new friendships were made.
Kenya, 2024, is coming shortly. The all-inclusive trip with airfare, beautiful lodging, incredible guiding, delicious meals, night photography and special photo hides will all be a part of the trip.
Botswana is SOLD OUT, watch for news of another trip in 2025.

This is one of the most outstanding galleries in California and the nation! Their mission is all about bringing attention to conservation efforts throughout the world and the power of nature and wildlife photography to bring laser attention to these issues. What an honor. I am truly humbled. The show opens on October 4 and runs until January 1, 2017.
