Wildlight Comes to Life

Welcome to Wildlight Photography! As you explore these special moments with me, I hope you will find amongst them your own experience of something beautiful and inspirational, or at least a welcome reminder of the beauty in the natural world around us. All of these images have a unique and special meaning to me, and I am excited to share them with you! 

Finding my way to photography was a bit serendipitous. I have a background in science and was never strong in the creative arts. In 2015, I was gifted a camera kit by my husband. All of the symbols and functions were quite intimidating until I finally took my first beginner course (again as the result of a gift) in the summer of 2016. My eyes were opened and I had found my way into art through science! I was hooked. I found myself reading as much as I could, studying the works of renowned photographers, and practicing practicing practicing ... I was learning correct composition, the 'rules' of the perfect image, etc. and as my eye continued to learn these techniques, I was still left wanting ...

I realized after some time that I wanted to find a way to transcend beyond the science of photography and into the truly artistic realm of my own creative expression. I wanted my images to inspire an emotional response and to create a sense of reverence for the natural world. Not only do I want to share the beauty of these moments, but to emphasize why it is absolutely necessary for these wild places to be protected. They offer us so much more than we can ever fully realize. That is why I created Wildlight ... to allow all of us to share the experience of the wild and natural world and to celebrate the gifts it has to offer.
