I’m Shelley Gibbins and I capture unique wildlife moments in nature!

Being involved in wildlife and nature photography, I continue to be amazed at the variety of photo opportunities for wild animals that can be found right here in Alberta; I think we often assume that we need to visit exotic places to find interesting sights, but that is definitely not the case.

A lot of my nature photography comes from North America, but I have also travelled around the world taking wildlife photos in places such as Africa, Costa Rica, China, and Peru. I have recently returned from Brazil, with jaguar pictures. I enjoy birding and have a photography collection for the identification of over 430 avian species from around the world (see my birding blog).

I have a B.ED/B.A degree and was a junior high/high school teacher for ten years.
