Quality Photography

I offer premium fine art photography that captures the essence of wildlife through beautifully lit and visually stunning images. With over 30 years of experience in the field and training from some of the world’s leading wildlife photographers, I bring a wealth of expertise to my craft. As a multi-international award-winning photographer and one of the Top 16 Wildlife Photographers in Canada, as named by Influencer Digest+ in 2023, my work reflects a deep commitment to quality and storytelling in every shot.

A Focus on Conservation

I am deeply committed to conservation, particularly the protection of the flora and fauna of the Boreal Forest. I actively support various conservation initiatives by donating my work and educating others about the critical issues facing this unique ecosystem. My primary focus is on the plight of the Woodland Caribou, highlighting their struggles and advocating for their preservation. Through my photography and outreach, I strive to raise awareness and drive meaningful action to safeguard the Boreal Forest and its inhabitants.

I am dedicated to providing exceptional customer service and guaranteeing the highest quality in my art. Using premium papers and inks, I ensure that each piece meets the highest standards. My workshops and day tours are personalized to match your skill level, offering a tailored photography learning experience designed to help you achieve your goals and exceed your expectations. Your satisfaction and success are my top priorities.

Ethical Practices

As an ethical wildlife photographer, I prioritize the well-being of the animals above all else. I am always mindful of my behavior and its impact, ensuring that my presence in the field does not disturb or harm the wildlife. My commitment to ethical practices means that every photo I take is done with the utmost respect for the animals and their natural habitat.

Testimonials

I was hooked!

"The second I saw the photo Donna captured of such an incredible animal. It perfectly grabs a moment in time displaying the raw power and stunning beauty of the brown bear while looking straight into your soul. It is the centerpiece of our entertaining area in our home, printed on aluminum it radiates the colour while showcasing the sharpness of the photo. The process from contacting Donna to having her art delivered to my door was incredibly easy.

Thanks Donna, I will enjoy it for years to come." - Shaun , British Columbia

Love, love, love!

"When I saw these beautiful photos of the great blue heron I fell in love at first sight! I had a hard time choosing one so I got three lol. And what was even more special is that I grew up seeing these birds every summer on the water's edge near my family home.

Thanks Donna for the beautiful keepsake." - Carol, Alberta

The Last Great Forest

The Boreal Forest to me is the last great forest on earth. Over my more than fifty years of existence on this planet, I have seen the acidification of the oceans, the rapid shrinking of the rain forest, and the warming of our planet. The Boreal Forest could not be more critical to life as we know it, it breathes life into the atmosphere and is a haven for billions of birds, and numerus mammals and amphibians. Yet it so taken for granted, while it increasingly shows signs of its stress. My passion is to tell and honour the story of the forest and its inhabitants through my lens and showcase the majestic creatures that call it home.
