Best of 2019 - Nature Photography

As another year (and decade!) come to a close I look back on my most successful year with gratitude. 2019 took me to new places and new heights. in 2019 I found myself in the southern Oregon coast, the Columbia River Gorge, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, and the high Sierra. I explored and experimented a bit more. I pushed myself to look for opportunities to expand my photography and portfolio (and myself). I found that pushing through fear and complacentness can be more rewarding than I could imagine. So here’s a “best of” that I am proud to share with you from 2019. Thank you for being a part of a great year! Happy New Year!
