Ok – you all know I love ice fishing more than any activity, and winter is the time of year that I look forward to more than any other time of year (colder it is, the happier I am). The beginning of the season, however, is something I dread. Weird things happen to even the most […]
You may have noticed a transition to more teaching and speaking – and more personal photography on here. In addition to my role at Bast Durbin, I have moved to just a few commercial clients and many more teaching and speaking appearances over the past few months (and lots more coming up), and with that […]
Taking photos of a little girl catching her first fish on Lake Michigan makes my heart happy, and last week I got to take photos of Charlie catching her first king salmon ever. She has JUST turned five – and is one of my favorite little girls on the planet. Whenever she and her mom and […]
This is going to be known as the summer of wild parsnip. Earlier in the summer I was at a shoot for Bast Durbin, and posted photos of our truck in the field on to Facebook. I thought it looked cool, but Facebook thought I was nuts (that in itself is normal…). Apparently we had […]
My #1 favorite subject is a bird dog. Any bird dog. They are my greatest love photographically because they are just so damn happy in the field. The looks on their faces when the gun goes off – or when they are just observing around them is incredible to photograph. This fall I am photographing […]

The semi annual Dogs of Lake Superior workshop is scheduled for Saturday, May 13th on the beach in Bayfield from 9am – 1pm. Dogs, Lake Superior, and fast action – the perfect combination! This highly interactive high action photography workshop will include tips and tricks to get photos of dogs in action in and around […]
I love to photograph these fish on the move – and I was lucky enough to arrive when a few were extremely active. I try to capture them (on video) every fall and spring, but unfortunately I totally missed them this past fall… I heard they were running a bit this afternoon, so I was very […]
Hey all! I’m selling my 5 best Lightroom presets – the ones I use for every session. The ones that keep me from losing my mind when the busy season arrives. The five include 3 general color presets, my favorite black & white conversion, and a customize-able sunny tonal preset to warm up your images. […]
I have been watching Emma and her team from Wolfsong Adventures in Mushing grow up since I moved here, and I have loved watching them at the Apostle Islands race every year. When we talked about doing her senior session a few weeks ago, I knew we had to do some of them with her […]
