Livin' The Dream ...

“Livin’ The Dream!”

My favorite button buck – Buttons, as I call him – seems to be “livin’ the dream” – for a white-tailed deer – as he happily enjoys eating an apple on an early February evening in the park while his mama doe and twin sister stood close by.

I began photographing Buttons as a precious white-spotted fawn, then a sweet button buck and then a beautiful yearling until he migrated away in January 2020. Along the way I tossed him many apples, which he loved eating. It’s a true joy and blessing to me personally and as a photographer to have watched this white-tailed deer grow.

I’ve been blessed to photograph this doe and her fawns since 2012, and it’s a true joy to me personally and as a photographer.
