Bob & Candy Cook

We're relatively new to the world of wildlife photography, having gravitated to it only 6 years back when Candy spotted (as she so often does) a row of young Merlins (Falcons) perched on a pine branch across the street. That moment marked the beginning of a mutually enjoyed passion that has led to numerous trips and countless opportunities to capture some of the most spectacular creatures on the planet. 

Candy is by far the better spotter; a skill honed while growing up in a family that hunted big game and found sport in spotting deer and other critters amidst the camouflage of branches and distant fields. It also explains why she is the master of word-find puzzles. As we have discovered countless times, finding the subject is 99% of the challenge. Capturing the moment on camera seems relatively easy after that. 

It's a compelling thrill to capture a split second of up-front and personal wildlife behavior. We're blessed to be surrounded by some wonderful parks and really appreciate our close proximity to the mountains. If you're out in the wild and happen to recognize our faces, please introduce yourself ... we'ld love to exchange a story or two.
