Special Gallery Exhibit: Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks

Since our return from our recent field assignment, I have been diligently working on processing some of the images I took in the Tetons and in Yellowstone. I invite my readers to view some of those images in our Special Gallery. Feel free to email me or post a comment here to let me know what you think of the images.

Of course, we will be uploading more images as we have time to process them.

 Enjoy the photos!

Back From Yellowstone Photo Assignment

I’m back from a two week field assignment in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. I took more than 2,000 images, and will be glad to begin processing them for eventual inclusion in a book. My family came along with me, and we all had a great time. I really didn’t want to leave, but the crowds were just too much. So, the time was right to go. Now, I am working on my next assignment – the deserts of Utah and Arizona. After that, a lifelong dream of spending a few weeks in Alaska!

I was amazed by all that I saw in Yellowstone and will have to save my descriptions and photos for my upcoming book. Of course, being away for that long means that I have quite a few photo sessions to catch up on and bookings that are filling up my calendar pretty quickly.

We had the chance yesterday to enjoy a picnic lunch and short hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, in the Bear Lake area. We had planned to take a longer hike and fish for a while, but I ended up breaking my toe Friday and couldn’t get my hiking boots on without pain. So, we had to stick to the heavy traffic areas. But, at least we were out enjoying the fresh air and scenery.

Today, we finished a yard project that we started before we left for Yellowstone. We completely overhauled the landscaping in our front yard and added rock instead of mulch. It looks great now – something we can be very proud of.

I should mention that I will likely not be posting much of anything for quite a while, as my schedule is just too full. I have senior portrait sessions, a modeling portfolio, some maternity photos and a few headshots to do, plus some event work I need to finish, work on my book and preparations to start shooting weddings. Whew!

It’s always good to be home again, although I don’ t look forward to having to get back into the daily grind. Experiencing Yellowstone is something that will be with me forever. My husband and I are already planning some follow-up trips to conclude my book. I hope to keep our experience alive in me as we go back into our routines and regular lives. That is my goal.

Thank you, Bob, Rachel and Joshua, for making this a memorable time for me, one that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Thanks, Dan and Tara, for taking such good care of our critters and our house. It was such a relief to go and enjoy our time away without worrying about our dogs and kitty. You both made our trip so much better.

Well, I will sign off for now. Perhaps I will sneak in a few posts here and there when I can.
