EXPEDITION:  A New Journey

 October, 2024 - Everywhere, USA

     If you have been following me since 2004 when I launched my photography business, you were probably witness to my pursuit of nature photography and animals, which is where I started a real love affair with professional-grade photography.  (And thank you for following me).   During that time, as I relentlessly cruised the mountains and deserts for moments and my next favorite image, I was noticed by various publications and national organizations who requested the use of my work for education, publishing, and advertising; including The Smithsonian, The Colorado Department of Wildlife and several Telluride publications.  I have donated pieces for fundraising and have gifted prints to hundreds of friends, strangers, and family members. It is a love that still burns today. 

     As with many female artists, my interests meandered away from nature (but not too far) when I entered motherhood and began photographing my most beautiful subject, my child.   Suddenly I was noticed by friends and other Telluride locals, and a portrait photography business was born.  In that time of more than a decade, I professionally photographed thousands of faces and have had tens of thousands of visitors to my website.    

     What an honor and a privilege to be swooned, touched, and taken to tears by so many beautiful moments with families, brides, grooms, babies, and friends in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.  It is a gift to participate in fleeting moments of intimacy and love.  I have laughed, cried, been moved, and fallen in love with many of my clients.   

     In the last couple of years, my photography has been publicly quiet, but internally explosive with ideas and inspiration as I reimagine my life as a nature photographer.   I invite you today, to stick with me while my website catches up with the ideas in my head, and allows me to develop my dream so I can show it to you. And I hope, as you join me on this journey, you will find something, a story, inspiration, or a fine art piece. Will you come with me on this new journey of all the beautiful things I can find?   I am excited to share it with you.
