Wildlife may not pay for their portraits but the experience is totally worth it! Let's be honest though, I'd rather photograph an animal over a person anyday! #marmot #marmotmonday #WildlyCreative #CanadianCreatives #sharecangeo #cangeotravel #ShotOnCanon #CanonCanada #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeplanet #discoverwildlife

My top 10 images of the decade! It was hard to pick 10 but here are some of my favourites! In 2012 I bought my first DSLR, took a weekend course on how to use it and eventually took an online course in professional photography. However it was until Nov 2016 after attending a photography workshop in Lake Louise that I really felt I was creating images I was really proud of. Thanks to @johnemarriott @davebroshaplaces @paulzizkaphoto & @offbeat_photo for introducing me to landscape, nature and wildlife photography and inspiring me to take my photography to the next level!

Went for whales but fell in love with the green sea turtles in Maui! #turtletuesday #greenseaturtle #honu #maui #mauiwildlife #WildlyCreative #wildlifephotography

The Maui coastline has endless opportunities for amazing views. Nothing better than a quiet morning at the beach! #maui #mauihawaii #landscape #seascape #oceanside #MeAndMyManfrotto #Canon_Photos #livetoexplore #neverstopexploring

This jackrabbit has recently been a regular visitor to my front yard. Definitely looking pretty relaxed here! #urbanwildlife #wildlifephotography #saskatchewan #jackrabbit #wildlife

Nothing beats a quiet morning on the beach in the mountains. Looking forward to summer & hopefully heading back out to East Barriere Lake, BC #eastbarrierelake #explorebritishcolumbia #explorecanada #imagesofcanada #WildlyCreative #CanadianCreatives #cangeotravel #Canon_Photos #manfrottoimaginemore

Early mornings at Lake Louise are simply the best! #WildlyCreative #CanadianCreatives #imagesofcanada #cangeotravel #sharecangeo #ParksCanada #Canon_Photos #CanonCanada #explorebanffnationalpark #canadianrockies #lakelouise

The mountains are calling my name! It's been far too long since my last adventure!

I went to Maui thinking the whales would be the best part but it was the green sea turtles who stole my heart! Almost every afternoon a few turtles would make their way onto to the beach to bask in the sun and have a nap! #turtletuesday #WildlyCreative #maui #mauiwildlife #greenseaturtle #honu #seaturtle #wildlifephotography #hoyochinikko #halemahinabeachresort

Stumbled upon this crab while exploring Makaluapuna point in West Maui. If you're visiting Maui be sure to check it out! #WildlyCreative #maui #mauiwildlife #mauihawaii #Canon_Photos #wildlifephotography

One of my favourite places to visit while in Banff National Park is Johnston Canyon. If you get up early enough you can enjoy the hike to the lower and upper falls all to yourself! #WildlyCreative #CanadianCreatives #imagesofcanada #opcmag #sharecangeo #cangeotravel #ParksCanada #ShotOnCanon #CanonCanada #MeAndMyManfrotto #explorecanada #explorealberta #explorebanffnationalpark #mybanff #canadianrockies #johnstoncanyon #tonesofplace

If you're exploring the Icefields Parkway this long weekend be sure to check out, Herbert Lake, a small colourful glacier fed lake.

What more could you ask for? Sun, mountains & the beautiful Emerald Lake! A perfect morning exploring Yoho National Park - May 2018 #ParksCanada #emeraldlake #yohonationalpark #explorebc

Afternoon naps are best on the beach!
