Canyonlands National Park
This mysterious land of enchantment—the American Southwest—is a siren song seducing many an explorer, writer, poet, artist and even those seeking healing of the metaphysical kind. It’s an indescribable allure that promises those of a curious nature to provide endless fascination. For those suffering the ills of industrialized urbanization, the open road and vast empty spaces have long inspired romantic notions, uplifted spirits, encouraged self-discovery and delivered an unabashed sense of freedom.

Havasupai Creek with Fall colors
I consider myself fortunate to be centrally located and surrounded by hundreds of miles of dynamic geologic land forms, where new discoveries are a mere road trip away.

"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.
