About The Photographer

Cropped img 7349 cropped

As a retired elementary school teacher, I am enjoying the opportunity to explore my passion for photography and travel. My first love in photography is wildlife. Living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado I am surrounded by abundant wildlife. My husband and I travel extensively through the state of Colorado. A few of our favorite spots include Rocky Mountain National Park, the summit of Mount Evans, numerous state parks and National Wildlife Refuges, and the eastern plains. We also enjoy traveling across our beautiful country and have been from coast to coast in search of new adventures. I shoot with a Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 100-400 mm IS, and sometimes use a Canon 1.4 x TC.
