Today I live in the florida Keys and have fallen in love with CAPTURING the birds, coral reef, and water lifestyle surrounding me. With a background in marine science and passion for the outdoors, my photography showcases the beauty of nature and those who thrive in it.

Originally from maryland, I was MESMERIZED by the ocean as a kid and dreamed of the day i could experience wildlife and adventure on the coast.

As a freelance photographer, I specialized in outdoor lifestyle photography, both above and below the waterline. From snorkeling and fishing to beaches and mangroves. Commercial and product photography is a breeze with all of these scenic views and water activities, I am now booking private shoots as well and can even arrange a private sandbar shoot.

There is nothing I love more than floating on the ocean’s surface, camera in tow or waking up before dawn to find the spoonbills at first light. Capturing wildlife and people in the elements is a blast!I hope you enjoy my art and follow my photography adventures @sinkingsunphoto.
