"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." - Aaron Siskind
 

Chasing The Wild Outdoors captures the adventure in its finest moments.  Whether it be an elk during the rut, a bird in breeding plumage, or the breathtaking landscape, I will capture it how it was meant to be, WILD!  As a conservationist, outdoorsman, and a photographer I will bring the best of what the wild has to offer.  Each photograph is an adventure unto its own.

As an avid bird photographer, I have included non-portfolio quality photos in the albums. These are marked with an ID in the caption.  I find it important to document as many bird species as possible with a photo.

 

If you find a photograph that speaks to you, and you wish to purchase it, Please contact me and I will work with you in finding the perfect size, print medium, and style.

I am an adventure addict.  I chase the wild outdoors everyday, hoping to capture that once in a lifetime moment.  I strive to take high quality, stunning photos of the wild outdoors. The focus of my photography happens to be Birds, Wildlife, Landscape, and Adventure.  I am a full time Law Enforcement Officer, and avid outdoorsman.  I want to share my passion for the wild with others, one photograph at a time. I have been a hobby photographer since 2013 and hone my craft daily. Spending vast amounts of time in the wilds that God created allow me to do just that, learn and get better!  I hope you find the unique or emotionally charged shot you are looking for.  Be better today than yesterday, Better tomorrow than today.  Keep the sun at your back, and your eyes above the skyline.  Cole
