After a lifetime of connecting with nature, literally since I was a child, I picked up my husband's Canon AE-1 camera, took a beginner photography class at my local community college and discovered an adventure beyond my dreams. That was over 29 years ago, and I am still in love with nature photography!

As I am a Certified Personal Trainer and acquired my 500 hour Yoga training, I also want to inspire others to be active and healthy. Part of the journey to health is quieting our thoughts and reducing stress and anxiety levels. Connecting with nature helps improve our mood and increase happiness and contentment. It is also a place to fully appreciate the stillness -- the chance to slow down and experience true rest and relaxation.

My images are influenced by a deep reverence and wonder of nature and the Creator, and I hope to convey that respect through my work. Through my lens and my writing, I want to create a spark within each of you to explore the journey that awaits you in nature. Throughout each season, there is so much to experience.

I believe that Wonder is a gift given to us by the Creator to help us transform our thoughts and enjoy our world! I am truly grateful to be on this grand adventure!
