What a nice surprise! Philanthropy Lifestyles featured me and my work as part of an article on Dallas Zoo’s 2023 Zoo To Do Patron Party, which my husband and I hosted. We used images from my “Almost Human” series as centerpieces for the tables. 😍

What an experience! As a wildlife lover and photographer, it was truly amazing to get this close to the hippos. Boipelo obviously thinks we should toss the food to her instead of taking photos with it! ❣️🦛
