Part of our summer adventure vacation was spent with family in Jackson, WY. It was so fun to stay put for one week. The week flew by- but, that just leaves us all wanting more! I was intentional on this trip to capture some of the amazing landscape scenery in new ways. In new light. In early light. In late light. I wanted to play with the mountains at times of the day that I'm not normally up and out with my camera. One of my challenges was a Grand Teton sunrise. I was sweetly and patiently escorted by my husband into the National Park (at 4:30am) to a spot known for it's morning sunrise glory. It was indeed just that! Magically transforming every second as the sun rose on the horizon. This was indeed a fantastic way to start a day.
Fly Fishing Treat- fairhope photographer
One early morning while I was visiting my awesome family in NC, my brother-in-law arranged for me to tag along on a fly fishing outing. We drove the swerving two lane mountain road with hot coffee in hand to arrive at a sun drenched river destination. It was a small hike into the woods, a little bit of fisherman prep and a photographer's yummy light dream! We spread out and worked in silence as we each had our on tasks and different elements of concentration. It was cool, peaceful and serene as the rush of the water headed downstream. I was treated well. And even though we didn't take home any trophy fish, we were blessed with a beautiful start to the day.
