YELLOWSTONE  |  GRAND TETONS  |  BADLANDS 

May of 2024 proved to be the most inspiring discovery for me, I fell in love with Wildlife Photography after a visit to Yellowstone National Park, Grand Tetons National Park, The Badlands National Park and lots of other stops in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and South Dakota.  Below is a sampling of my work from that trip.   A blog is in development, and I hope to share stories and more photos from that trip there.

|   PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY  |

In 2017 my husband and I drove the PCH from San Francisco to Oregon, looped around to Mt Shasta/Reno and back to Cali.  I have never felt more in love with nature than I did in the Redwood National Forest.   The glory of these giants is uncomparable.  The dramatic and rocky  Oregon coast combined with the foggy October mornings provided for some wonderful dreamy photographs.

|   THE SKY  |

This is an area I wish I could work more in.   I long to photograph the Milky Way over a mountain out west someday.   Here in Indiana, we were blessed with a total solar eclipse in 2024, and a partial back in 2017 I had the pleasure of photographing as well.   

|   FLORIDA  |

Taken back in 2014, I hope to update this section with more from Everglades National Park in 2025!
 

|   ALASKA  |

There was a time in my life where I worked in order to cruise.  If I wasn't on the water, I was dreaming of being there.   One of these trips was to Alaska in 2014.     The landscape was harsh and unforgiving, yet breathtaking.   I now dream of the day I'll return to this part of the country.

|  IRELAND  |

During the autumn of 2017, my family (including my husband, mother, and father) and I traveled to Ireland. It was the most hospitable country I have ever been to, with friendly locals, delicious meals, and numerous pubs.
Additionally, the breathtaking landscapes, ranging from coastal cliffs to rolling hills to ancient castles, made it a paradise for landscape photographers seeking dramatic shots.

|   SCOTLAND  |

In the fall of 2023, we ventured to Scotland with my parents.   I LOVE to visit filming locations, more for the idea of filming than the show/movie itself, but my mother and I shared an interest in "Outlander", so we mapped out a plan to see some film sites a well as other beautiful and historic places all over Scotland!  

|   PARIS. FRANCE  |

Many of my fondest memories come from a trip to Paris, Venice, and the Greek Islands with my mother and daughter.    I was excited to photograph European architecture and was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the Greek Islands.   By the time we reached Paris, we were all a little tired, but I managed to get a few shots of the city.   I hope to revisit Paris one day and explore other parts of the city.
 

|   VENCIE. ITALY  |

I have had vivid dreams of Venice since I was a young girl.  A city built on water, with boats taking you through canals to your next destination.    It truly was a dream come true.   To have the knowledge and privilege to photograph this city is an honor.
 

|   GREEK ISLANDS  |

One of the most beautiful places on earth.  Period.  Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos, and more - the Greek Islands are a plethora of stunning views and gorgeous sunsets.
