Half In Half Out- Whale Watching in Maui

This is a little gem I found while shooting humpback whale watching in Maui, Hawaii.  This beautiful creature came so close to the boat, and it was a true pleasure to be able to witness the event.  Can't wait to share my new website and store with you!!

Full Breach- breaching Humpback Whale in Juneau, Alaska

This image was taken about an hour away from Juneau Alaska back in June of 2011.  Having gone whale watching many times, it's difficult to capture a breach because either the whale doesn't feel like doing it, the boat is facing the wrong direction, or your camera isn't ready.  To get a shot like this it all has to come together to make it happen.  I captured the entire jump sequence of this beautiful animal and I am so happy that I had this opportunity!
