My Love of Photography

Not only do I love portrait photography, but I love to photograph nature. I'm an avid hiker and any chance I get, I'll grab my big huge camera that weighs an absolute ton and take it with me. I've been out in nature a lot lately. I've been hiking, camping, fishing with the kids, etc., and thought I would post some photos of our happenings. Each photo tells a story that is dear to my heart.

One of god's finest creations! I love the wasatch mountians.



There is nothing more relaxing than lounging around a campfire surrounded by beautiful trees looking heavenward. If you look closely you can see the smoke from our fire.


Experimenting with my camera is one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon. My dad is in focus in this first photo and my husband, Jimmy, is in focus in the next one.


Hiking up one of my favorite paths close to home. The rest of the images are from this super scenic hike.




Even though a thistle is just a prickly weed, there is just something wild & beautiful about it in this setting.


Look how charming a stagnant pond can be. I love the reflection of the trees off the water. This pond and the area surrounding it was actually in the movie "Saints & Soldiers."


And of course this last photo is at the top of my little hike overlooking the valley. Too bad I couldn't capture the panoramic view I was experiencing, but here is a slice of it to enjoy!
