Happy Independence Day! On Saturday, we enjoyed helping with (and photographing) a town event celebrating the 250th.

New blog post! As we look back on 250 years of American history, so much has changed—our cities, our technology, our pace of life. Yet some things remain wonderfully unchanged. I’m grateful for every chance I`ve had to explore even a small portion of this immense continent. Over the past year, as I’ve sorted through images for my 2027 Fine Art Calendar, I’ve found myself reflecting on the incredible natural beauty God has placed across this country. And now it`s your turn to share your impressions & feedback on my photos! Read more at link in bio.

This month brings an assignment we`ve run annually for the past couple of years, and it`s a favorite one! The goal is simple: increase the number of gorgeous photo location recommendations on the Lenspiration Scouting Guide. There are some important details on how to submit locations, so be sure to read that at the link in bio.

As we were driving along, you could tell an unexpected break on the horizon was going to colorize the sky after a full day of clouds....but the mountains blocked everything from where we were at. We kept driving and driving until finally we got just far enough that you could see the horizon....and there happened to be a pull off! I`ll never forget that frenzied ride along the Turnagain Arm.

Had the opportunity to go back to this enchanted West Virginia wonderland! I know of only a few places like this, where moss covers the forest floor like a carpet for as far as the eye can see.....which isn`t super far because the woods are dense and there`s almost always mist! Love this place. It`s definitely worth the drive to get to this remote spot if you`re in the area. Look up Gaudineer Knob.

What makes the southwest so much more popular for landscape photography than West Virginia? Far fewer trees. You can actually see the view! Of course, agriculturally speaking, I`d rather have the rain like we do here in the East, but photographically speaking, I often long for the expansive views. 🙂

New blog post! In a past blog post, I said I`d share more photos from our short stop in Sedona, Arizona. Well, here they are, plus a fascinating tidbit behind great photos that I discovered while as I was editing them.

I didn`t know my way around Sedona very well. But after doing some online scouting, I was convinced that Bell Rock was the place I wanted to go for my only sunset in the area. Naturally, I followed Google Maps to the "Bell Rock Pathway Trailhead Parking Lot." But when we got there, I didn`t see any Bell Rock. Read more at link in bio.

Had no idea this tunnel existed! Was driving into the park late at night when I turned the corner and was shocked out of my socks. Made sure to leave the park the same way the next day so I could take a picture of it. I love how the lack of underbrush keeps the scene feeling clean, while the diagonal lines add energy to an otherwise mysterious setting, creating a subtle tension about the unknown that lies ahead!

Only opportunity I had to break away to photograph a sunset during a time visiting family in Virginia. Was grateful for nice elevation above the Potomac! The giant tree made a great foreground. Had to shoot over a fence. The unbroken far shore is integral to eye movement and clean presentation.
