About Us
"We consider ourselves incredibly lucky!"
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 got serious about photography as an adult, 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 early support and encouragement. Travel to Spain, Africa, Canada, more Chuck & Nicky love to travel and capture the animals, places and people they see. They have traveled throughout Europe, Scandinavia, New Zealand, 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, a wolf pack singing & much more. Event Photography - Dogs As a natural extension to wildlife photography, Chuck and Nicky thoroughly enjoy attending and photographing Canine Events - dog shows - including dog agility trials, dog obedience and Rally events, conformation dog shows, herding trials, retriever field trials, disc dog competitions and taking pet portraits. |
