Our Story

Milesky-Rath

I started IRathPhotography while working as a biologist and wildlife guide in and around Yellowstone National Park. During my time in the field, I witnessed and photographed some truly incredible moments that I wanted to share with others. I met Katie in the winter season of 2022, and within a year, I knew she was going to be my wife. Katie has never really been into the photography side of things, but when you’re surrounded by such incredible landscapes and animals all day, she finally started asking to borrow my camera. She claims to only like it for “the clicky noise the camera makes when she takes the picture”, and regardless of whether or not that is true, I realized she had a remarkable eye for capturing what she sees. In March of 2025, I got Katie her own camera, and she began to get her own shots while out in the park and all over the world.

All of the photos featured here are from our adventures—some were taken by me (Isaac), and some were taken by Katie. One thing they all have in common is our commitment to respecting wildlife. While some photographers don’t mind harassing wildlife to get a shot, we go to great lengths to ensure every image reflects an animal undisturbed in its natural habitat, exhibiting natural behavior. Our mission is to share these wild experiences with others in hopes of inspiring a deeper appreciation for nature and promoting our shared passion for conservation.

We believe deeply in conservation and in nature’s power to connect people from all walks of life. Please take a moment to explore the work we’ve been doing—and if you feel inspired, consider supporting our mission to educate others about the natural world by purchasing one of our photos.
