“Thus, the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
In the summer of 2014, I was fortunate and honored to be featured by The Luminous Landscape in an essay entitled, "Portrait Of An Emerging Photographer". The timing was such that it coincided almost to the day of learning of my very first major publication. The Black & White issue of Outdoor Photographer Magazine, August 2014, in a feature about Yosemite National Park. The trip to Yosemite had been in back of my mind for years after having read John Muir's The Yosemite. The trip, fraught with bad weather and low moral resulted in a pivotal moment in my photography.
The essay featured in Lula produced an unexpected convergence into my unassuming photographer world. Within minutes of the essay being published, I had thousands of people viewing my work via my blog and website from all over the world. I started receiving lit...

"She promises herself adventure, new places, different views, a chance to get lost. She infuses her day with newness and wonder. She brings a camera everywhere, notices the little things, gets a cup of coffee at a different cafe, takes the long way home. She discovers so much unexpected joy. She begins to love the journey."
Excerpt from the book "I Am Her"
I am an explorer, an avid hiker and backpacker. I'm a freelance photographer and writer for the Arizona Republic Newspaper which is the 5th largest newspaper in the U.S.
I'm a contributing writer for The Luminous Landscape and OnLandscape Magazine. My photography has been published in Outdoor Photographer Magazine, Arizona Highways Magazine, Popular Photography Magazine and OnLandscape Magazine. I'm also a published watercolor artist.
I live to be on the open road discovering a new landscape. I'm often accompanied by my dog, Halo. I love to be thrust into new adventures, new landscapes, unfamiliar roads and quaint coffee shops. I am truly a romantic wanderer fueled by constant curiosity.
My photography is the documentation of a fascination with the natural world. I love to be surrounded by beauty and unique landscapes. I see meaning and purpose in every journey and I see light and composition in every scene. Every trip I take, adventure I set out on, there has aways been a lesson. It's how I've come to view my photography now, as a series of lessons.
