STORIES THAT SING TO THE SOUL
Short, unfiltered stories from a wildlife photographer in Costa Rica who traded perfect weddings for perfectly imperfect jungle mornings.
Every podcast episode is one real photograph, one raw moment (toucan breakfast clubs at 10 a.m., baby sloth, Larry the Laughing Falcon, hummingbirds that stare straight into my soul) and the truth the jungle whispered while I stood there barefoot and wide awake.
If you’ve ever felt something wild tugging at your heart, come sit beside me on the deck. Coffee optional. Bare feet required. New episodes drop from the deck within the Costa Rican rainforest.
Subscribe wherever you listen, and let’s get lost together.
Pura vida.

A perfect miniature waterfall singing over mossy rocks into a small pool. Pure, secret jungle magic.
Episode 7: Hi, I'm Sarah and This is How I Accidentally Fell in Love with the Jungle in Costa Rica
Twenty two years of photographing everyone’s happiest days in New England. Then one hummingbird in Corcovado looked me right in the eye and everything changed.
This is the real story of how I went from 40+ weddings a season to barefoot coffee on a jungle deck inside the rainforest.
Episode 8: The Endless Song of the Cicadas in Costa Rica
It starts as the first light hits the treetops… A low vibration that builds until the whole Costa Rican canopy is singing...
I spotted a cicada clinging to a giant leaf, taking a rest from singing endlessly. Green and blue, almost metallic, wings like stained glass...
EPISODE NINE
The Costa Rican Scarlet Macaws and the Early Morning Beach Feast
It was an early start a couple of weeks ago as I went down to the shore before the sun climbed too high. I arrived as the first light painted the waves gold, the air still cool with salt and promise.
Walking quietly along the shoreline, camera ready, I suddenly heard them… that unmistakable raucous squawk echoing from the trees. A small flock of five or six scarlet macaws swooped down to the beach almond trees in a burst of color...
