I have a short list of animals and birds I haven’t had the chance to photograph out in the wild – my Dream Shots. It’s a great feeling when I finally get a photo of those elusive creatures and mark it off my list. But something happened this weekend that made me rethink this approach.

At the beginning of the month, I’d asked for people to vote on which of the pictures in my portfolio would look best on a gallery wall. The responses to both the contest and the giveaway have been overwhelmingly kind and eye-opening as to what others see in my photos.
I redesigned my website to make it easier to purchase prints and products featuring my photos. Getting paid to take nature pictures full-time is my ultimate dream – I have a plan to make that happen, and it all starts with what YOU like best.
