I’m a bug and botanical portrait photographer. I take macro photographs of insects, spiders, and other invertebrates so people may gain a better understanding and deeper appreciation of these amazing creatures. This summer, I’ve been working on a project called “Early Risers” which is a photo series showing insects and spiders waking up with the sunrise. Here are some of my favorite sunrise portraits!
