Private Guiding & Photographic Instruction

Want to take your wildlife photography skills to the next level? I’ve got you covered! My in-person training sessions are designed to help you achieve your specific photography goals. Picture this: you’ll get one-on-one training in the field, where you’ll have hands-on experience with your gear and learn how I find and set up to photograph wildlife. This unique approach will help you speed up your progress by learning directly from me in the field, finding and photographing the subjects you want to capture.

The key to successful wildlife photography is not about having the latest gear or knowing every camera feature. It’s about being able to consistently find wildlife to photograph. In these guided sessions, that’s exactly what I’ll teach you. I’ll help you learn what habitats are good for different species and how to set up your camera to make the most of each area.

My background in wildlife sciences has given me a deep understanding of habitat preferences for various species and ecological processes. I’ll share this knowledge with you to help you become confident in finding the wildlife you want to photograph. Of course, we’ll also go over camera settings and techniques to help you get that perfect shot once you find the subject.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started on your wildlife photography journey!

Here’s what you can expect:

After you submit the form, I’ll reach out with some follow-up questions. I’ll want to know about the gear you use, your photography goals, and the type of wildlife and habitat you’d like to visit for the session. We’ll then schedule a phone call to go over all the details.

Once we have everything set, I’ll draft a contract for you to sign.

Before the session, I’ll keep you updated on the weather forecast and any other important information about the location.

What you’re paying for:

I have lived in the Northeast for the past 10+ years and during the last 4 years I have dived headfirst into photography soaking up all that I possibly can into the realm of wildlife photography.  In 2022, I graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences where I took multiple courses in ecology, wildlife behavior, ornithology, mammalogy, and various other courses.  These courses helped me gain a deep understanding of how wildlife interact with their habitats. I also worked as a forest ranger at a local game refuge where I gained intimate knowledge of the forests in Connecticut.  It was these experiences that lead me to wildlife photography and my passion to explore and capture intimate moments with wildlife.  I am also a strong advocate for using photography as a tool for conservation and education.  It is my belief that the more people see and understand the wildlife all around us, the more we can all work to protect the natural areas that remain. 

Within my photography, I strive to use ethical practices to capture moments with wildlife.  I feel that it is important to use my knowledge in wildlife behavior and habitat preferences to locate wildlife without causing them harm.  I have employed various techniques to capture moments with wildlife including trail cameras and photo blinds.    I am eager to share my experiences and knowledge with you so that we can help share the beauty of nature together.
