Before MM Photography existed, I was knee-deep in streams, logging benthic macroinvertebrates and cataloging wetland wildlife. My journey began in the field of environmental science, where I earned a degree in Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation. I spent my early career observing the balance of ecosystems, learning to read the landscape, understand its rhythms, and recognize the stories it told. Then I picked up a camera, and everything changed.

     I began capturing what I saw, not just for documentation, but for meaning. A turtle basking on a log became a moment of quiet resilience. The light filtering through trees transformed into a scene worth remembering.

     Over time, photography became more than a tool, it was a passion. I realized the camera could act as a bridge between people and nature, helping others see what I had come to love so deeply. Whether I’m photographing a couple on a trail or a fox at the forest’s edge, my goal is to tell stories that evoke emotion and encourage care for the world around us.

     Photography allows me to translate my love for people, places, and the planet into something tangible; something that invites us all to look a little closer and care a little more.
