★★★★★
Our photo safari experience with Jennifer was fantastic! She got us into beautiful lodges in Timbavati and Mandikwe and got us out on some epic game drives. She has amazing instincts for finding and getting close to rare creatures, and her energy and enthusiasm were infectious.

"Jennifer's passion for wildlife conservation is contagious"
Jennifer is insanely good at her job. Her knowledge of animal behavior and habits, her tracking ability and her determination to put the animal's interest and well being above all else allowed me to have amazing encounters. Jennifer's passion for wildlife conservation is contagious. I will be forever grateful for the knowledge and education she shared with me. We spent 2 days together from sunrise to sunset, non-stop and every moment she had, she was offering in the field photography guidance. I'm not sure I can express what an opportunity it was for me to be able to learn one on one from Jennifer.....a huge opportunity to say the least.

"From the moment we met, Jennifer made me feel completely at ease"
I found Jennifer on Instagram in 2023 while looking for a place closer to home to photograph wild bears, which I've been obsessed with for over 10 years. Although I've done group workshops in Alaska, BC and Minnesota, I had never tried a one-on-one guided trip before. From the moment we met, Jennifer made me feel completely at ease, and I've been going back every year since. Over 2 unforgettable days, she guided me through two huge wildlife refuges, sharing her incredible knowledge of the area and its wildlife. I was lucky to observe black bears, including a mama with 3 cubs, and even some rare red wolves. One of my favorite moments was when we we photographing a massive male bear and Jennifer noticed a young skittish bear behind us standing on its hind legs, curiously checking the big male - we managed to capture some amazing shots thanks to her sharp eyes. She's someone who really cares about wildlife - she'd stop the car to help a snake cross the road! She also made sure I had the best camera settings and gave me fantastic photography tips, sharing so much about conservation that you don't usually get in workshops. If you truly love bears and other wildlife and want a one-on-one experience with a professional wildlife photographer, Jennifer is the guide you want. I'm so grateful to have met her.

"Jennifer's ability to combine her deep expertise in wildlife with her warm, approachable personality makes her the perfect guide"
I had the absolute pleasure of traveling to North Carolina with Jennifer for 4 days, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless - she picked me up herself, offered excellent accommodation recommendations, and took care of every little detail so that all I had to do was focus on enjoying the adventure. Her knowledge of the area and its wildlife is unmatched. Within my first 30 minutes out with her, I had the incredible privilege of seeing an extremely rare Red Wolf - an animal that is almost extinct. It felt like a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, and it set the tone for the amazing days ahead. Over the course of the trip, Jennifer brought us to multiple locations where we had unforgettable wildlife sightings: bears grazing, bears dozing peacefully in the sun, and even playful bears swimming. One of the highlights was spotting a mother bear with 2 cubs which was simply heartwarming. My personal favorite though, was a massive male black bear who confidently walked right towards us, framed by the fiery glow of autumn trees in the background. It was the kind of scene that felt straight out of a dream. Not every encounter made for the perfect photograph, but some left me with memories just as valuable. I'll never forgot watching tiny cubs scramble up a tree. Jennifer also made sure the experience wasn't just about the wildlife; she introduced me to a charming local coffee shop which quickly because a favorite stop. I still think about that hazelnut iced coffee - it was that good! Jennifer's ability to combine her deep expertise in wildlife with her warm, approachable personality makes her the perfect guide. She knows exactly where to be, when to be there, and how to make the most out of every outing. If you're considering booking a trip with her, don't hesitate - run, don't walk to do it. It's truly an experience of a lifetime.

"I was most impressed with how freely Jennifer shared her knowledge"
I spent 2 very full days with Jennifer at Alligator River NWR shooting black bears and other wildlife and I had a great time. She knew exactly where to find the bears, how to approach them safely and ethically, and how to get us in position to get the best shots. I was most impressed with how freely Jennifer shared her knowledge. She watched over my shoulder as I was shooting, offering valuable suggestions and tips that I definitely needed, and she cheerfully answered my endless stream of questions. Finally, I really enjoyed Jennifer's company. We literally spent more than 30 hours together over 2 days, and the conversation never waned for a minute. She's a wonderful human in addition to being a fantastic guide, and I hope to get a chance to work with her in the future
