With more than 15 years of experience in the technology industry, I’ve built my career around innovation, problem-solving, and delivering digital solutions for clients across the globe. But alongside this journey, I always carried a deep passion for wildlife, photography, hospitality, and conservation.

I'm a full time professional photographer, teacher, artist, and activist. I've owned my own photography business since 2007, WDO Photography LLC, have taught photography professionally for the same amount of time, have exhibited and sold my photographic art for more than 15 years, and have advocated for the people, places, and causes that I am passionate about as long as I can remember. My work experience is far reaching. I've worked in a factory, inventoried stock at grocery and retail outlets, managed a retail store, pushed paper and pixels. I've photographed presidents and prisoners. I've taught homeless children, physicians, and people of great wealth and privilege. My unique experiences coupled with my attention to detail and expert knowledge of my craft make me a great hire for whatever you need photographed. I am a storyteller. At the center of my work is establishing what it is that you're trying to say about who or what I am photographing. My goal is to truly understand the story that we're telling and to make sure the viewer does as well. When I'm not taking photos for clients I can be found in the parks, woods, or wilderness photographing nature. I sell my nature photos and other fine art photography through Etsy and on my own website as well as exhibiting it locally, nationally, and internationally. I'm a very approachable person so please reach out if you have any questions and be sure to let me know if there is anything you need photographed.
