Purposeful Photography Adventures with Lisa Mize
“Creating the extraordinary through YOUR lens.” Illnesses caused me to stop living… I was missing life. I missed too many sunrises, too many sunsets, and too much in between. Through blessings, my illnesses are mostly under control, and now I am living. My burning passion for photography and living an adventuress life is a great combination! Anythin

g outdoors: kayaking down a waterway, hiking along endless trails, listening to the waves crash on the beach while sleeping, biking a gorgeous trail, or just casting off our lines on our boat we live on and see where Puget Sound takes us, but I am doing it all, camera in hand! I want to inspire others to seek out beautiful places from all over the world! My greatest achievements are my five amazing children, but if I can fan a small fire that is burning inside of you through the images you see in my photographs, THAT will be a wonderful achievement indeed!

Milky Way images from my campsite at the Tillicum Beach Campground on the Oregon Coast! The light over the hill, I believe is from San Marine and/or Yachats. Always worth getting up in the middle of the night to take these images! September 2025

The beautiful crescent moon was out last night along with Venus, Jupiter AND Mercury! Johnny and I hung out after sunset on our deck watching the skies. You can see the moon, Venus and Jupiter with the naked eye, but with our binoculars, we could see a couple of the moons of Jupiter AND Mercury!!! Just wow! The night was so clear! Here are my attempts at photographing the skies from a moving boat! LOL I had to have a super fast shutter speed to keep the planets from blurring, but that also meant that I couldn't get much light into my camera! The moon was easy, but Venus and Jupiter were a bit harder! I'll try again tonight if it is still clear and maybe even go to shore so that I can use a tripod and a longer shutter speed for more light! 🙂

Enjoy the sunset with me over the Pacific Ocean! I was up on bluff at my campsite in the Tillicum Beach Campground on the Oregon Coast! I definitely needed my circular polarizer and graduated neutral density filters for these! September 2025 Oregon is Beautiful Visit Central Oregon Wine Country Camera

We got an invitation to a small, super secret VIP event with Seattle Ballooning! It was an event to kick off sponsored by Seattle Ballooning. of Seattle, of Seattle and Casino! Getting up at 3:00am to be on this rooftop before 5:00am was magical! The weather was absolutely perfect for the tethered balloons! There was the large balloon that took people up and two remote controlled, small ones. Be sure to check out the green and yellow balloon! That was sewn by the 7 year old son of the owner of Seattle Ballooning! This was his inaugural launch! Check out the joy from him and his entire family! The entire team of Seattle Balloons are top notch! Just an incredible group of mostly young men that work seamlessly together! Plus, great music from Lucky Strike! What a way to start the day in Seattle!

Living in the marina, I am learning the sounds and calls of the wildlife that frequent here, but this morning, while Face Timing with my mom, Jeannie, I started hearing a new bird call that I couldn't place...I started running around the boat, checking the skies with my mom in tow! LOL She was asking what I was doing (while probably making her sick from spinning around) and I said that I think there is an osprey! I ran back in the boat and grabbed my camera and big lens and started firing away! Suddenly I noticed there were not just one, nor two, but THREE ospreys running each other off of sailboat rigging and flying about! They did not stay too long, but long enough to get a few images. I do not normally post the backside of wildlife, but the osprey's tail feathers are just amazing!!! Their yellow eyes and claws are equally cool! Enjoy!

The best part of organizing photo walks is meeting super cool people! The second best part is getting to photograph super cool wildlife! We met at the the Union Bay Natural Area, hid under some trees while it just poured rain and hailed, used our Merlin Bird ID app to find out what birds were around us and searched the trees and bushes to find birds sitting still just long enough to grab a shot!!! BTW, we saw so many hummingbirds! It was awesome!
