The International Society of Animal Photographers hosted their second image competition in 2025. Five of my images received “Meritorious Image” status, and one of them finished in the Top 10 in the Wildlife-Illustrative category! 😲

These are “Spa Day”, “Redheads Have the Most Fun!”, “Carnival King”, “Family Bonding”, and “Pretty Mischievous”.

Dallas Zoo’s annual fundraising gala, Zoo To Do, was a huge success! I donated a framed metal print of “Spa Day” for the auction and helped raise more than $1.6M! ❣️

The American Society of Photographers held their annual Images of Distinction competition in 2024 with a slightly different format. I had images receive merit scores in both rounds of judging, with a total of nine images receiving recognition. 😊

50 years of Texas School! 🎉🎉🎉 This week has been an amazing celebration of friends and photography. Cheers to 50 more! 🥂

15 years already?! I have learned so much and come so far … but there is always more work to be done.

Dallas Zoo’s annual fundraising gala, Zoo To Do, was a huge success! I donated a framed metal print of “Mr. Universe” for the auction and helped raise a record-setting $1.6M! The best part for me was the pure happiness of the woman who bought my image. She was so excited, and I was so happy for her to have it for her home. ❣️
