About Us - Pix 'n Pages

Nicky has been a photographer since a young person: had a darkroom growing up and worked for a newspaper for five years during high school and college. Chuck has gotten serious about photography in the last 15 years, but both have learned from some of the best nature and wildlife photographers in the world, including Art Morris, Frans Lanting, and George Lepp.

A special "thank you" to Robin Cole (Picture Perfect Farms) for all of her help during Audubon walks at Lettuce Lake Park and for her incredible support and encouragement.

Travel to Spain, Africa, Canada, more

Chuck & Nicky love to travel and capture, on film, the animals, places and people they see. They have traveled throughout Europe, South America, the Caribbean, the US, Canada and the Republic of South Africa.

In order to truly observe the animals for extended periods and during their most active periods (early and late in the day), they avoid the packaged tours and use public transportation or rent a vehicle to "self-tour".

Especially in Africa, it is common to be out of the camp at daybreak (not permitted out earlier), eat a picnic lunch next to a river or under a tree, and return to the camp at sunset. They have witnessing lions fighting, a leopard on the hunt and a pounce (it missed), giraffes sparring, elephants bathing, weavers building nests, bull elk sparring and bugling & much more.

Event Photography - Dogs and Horses

As a natural extension to wildlife photography, Chuck and Nicky thoroughly enjoy attending and photographing Frisbee® dog competitions, dog agility trials, conformation dog shows, herding trials, retriever field trials, and western and dressage equine events and taking pet portraits.

Their family includes Satara, an active young Rottweiler, Baloo, a young Ragdoll cat and an Arabian gelding, Chief (19 yrs. Old) - see photos to the right. Also important are beloved family members at the Rainbow Bridge: Punkin (Rottweiler, August 2001), Bailey (Himalayan cat, December 2004), and Sabi (August 2005). "Through our event photography, we have been able to 'adopt' many very special dogs and are very fortunate to be able to spend time with them".
