“As a professional wildlife and nature photographer I work on creating meaningful images that convey a message of hope for the natural world. Conservation photography is one part what my photograph says, and two parts what my photograph does. My goal is to share these images of beautiful animals in their natural environment to inspire others around me to preserve the world that we share with all the amazing living creatures around us,” she noted.
