Hello, I'm Maedbh... which is the Gaelic spelling for "Maeve".
Originally from the state of New York, I received my Bachelor's in biology from SUNY Geneseo, then went on to cultivate my love of invertebrates, birds and horticulture while working as curator for a butterfly house in upstate NY for 7 years. I then moved to the island of Grenada while working towards my DVM at St. George's University (where I acquired 2 island dogs), then found myself in Louisiana where I completed my DVM at the LSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital and met my husband, Chris.
In essence, I use my photography to capture moments that would have otherwise been lost in the continuous passing of time. I have a special interest in wildlife photography but have been branching out into fly fishing photography, event photography and portraiture. I hope you enjoy my end results as much as I enjoy the process of making them.
My work is dedicated to Gloria and Joe, whose absence reminds me to live with the light and love they left behind.
