As I was searching for flowers to photograph in Northern Arizona, I could hear some elk bugling off in the distance. Shortly after hearing them, I was able to find them in my viewfinder and began taking photos. It was truly perfect timing, as the sun was starting to go down and golden hour had begun

Earlier this summer, I traveled to Northern Arizona, near Flagstaff, with the goal in mind of photographing wildflowers. I first saw some beautiful sunflowers when I pulled off the side of the road. This led to me photographing them with a pine tree and some mountains in the background! 🌻🌲⛰️

While photographing the sunflowers, I could hear some elk bugling off in the distance. Shortly after, I captured some of my favorite photos of the whole adventure—of elk in the meadow at golden hour! ☀️ ✨

This was my first time photographing and taking videos of elk in the wild, so hope you enjoy and I am glad I get to share these with you!

Sedona Summer Blog Post is Live! 🏜🎈

Last summer, I set out to Sedona in the morning with the goal of finding hot air balloons. I wanted to hike up to a high enough point so that I could be as level as possible with them. While I did get this photo below that I liked, I felt I could do even more, and decided I must return!

The days are becoming warmer in the Sonoran Desert. I’ve been challenging myself to go out later when the air starts to cool so that I can photograph blue hour and the night sky. I was fortunate enough to be able to capture the full moon as it rose above the mountains this March 🌝

Earlier this year I went out on a short winter adventure through the pines. I found some icicles on a baby pine tree, so I took a photo of the one that stood out and caught my eye the most. Here's to new Spring Adventures this season! 🌼
