About Me

My photo
An 8th grade English teacher for the past 16 years, my interest in photography began in my early teens. An avid Fuji Velvia shooter for years, I finally purchased my first digital camera, a Canon 20D, in January of 2005. I started my photography business on the side in 2004, and it has grown into a second career. I love how my teaching profession and photography business work so seamlessly together. Today, I find myself shooting in excess of 100,000 images a year, including wedding imagery, senior and family portrait work, sports team and action shots, and my true passion, landscape and wildife. I'm actually doing what I always dreamed and I feel totally blessed.

Circle Park: Bighorn Mountains in the Fall (photography)

It's been a weird year.  I've had a ton of weddings, but this fall, while I'm normally in the throes of a crazy senior portrait schedule (as many as 35+ sessions), I currently only have 8 scheduled.  That makes for a lot of "free" time I would not normally have to spend time photographing scenes I don't normally get to experience.  I've enjoyed it immensely.

I got up early this past Sunday morning and drove down to Circle Park off highway 16 above Buffalo.  Sitting at the base of the high peaks of the Cloud Peak Wilderness, Circle Park was ablaze with color.  This has been an amazing fall for aspen colors in the Bighorn Mountains due to the longer, warmer fall weather without a significant frost.  These images are a small representation of the spectacle.  Enjoy!
