First Light
Dolly Sods Wilderness, West Virginia
October 6 Sunrise

On some days those early morning wake-up calls come a little too soon, but how will you know what's waiting to greet you if you don't rise? It isn't always easy, and there are no guarantees it will be epic, but if we are lucky we get to wake up and do it all over again.

“When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.”
― John Lennon

First Light, truly it is a beautiful sight.

Here Comes the Sun
Dolly Sods Wilderness, West Virginia
October 5, 2017 Sunrise

For the past 3 years I've trekked out to the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia in search of the iconic views of Dolly Sods Wilderness. Each year I've been greeted with bitter ice cold winds, and the landscape socked in by fog. This year was a little different, I heard that the bushes of red foliage were past peak, but decided to make the most of my time away from work and joined a few friends making the slow drive up the mountain day after day.

You know that old saying, 'persistence pays off?,' well on October 5th, our persistence paid off big with one of the nicest sunrises I'd seen in awhile. As we unloaded from the car I could see the sky begin to light up with red hues, 20 minutes before sunrise. Needless to say, we huffed up that facade in search of our composition, quickly set up, and clicked that shutter away. ( I did a phone time-lapse video and hope to share soon.)

As we huddled along the edge of the rocks, I stood in awe and with gratitude for being able to witness such a beautiful moment in time. Light like that doesn't come along often, as evidenced by my previous 3 years of bad timing.

I came away with a reminder there is beauty in life, sometimes we just have to get off the beaten path to search for it.
I suppose I should take a vacation from work more often.

Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway,
Lake Placid, Adirondacks

Beautiful 360-degree panoramic views. I fell in love with upstate NY, and the outdoor living. Summer days that feel like spring made the hike a little easier.

Hello Facebook! It sure has been awhile.
My most recent landscape adventure was a trip to Ricketts Glen, Pennsylvania.

I've seen many beautiful photos post from that area, and had to make the trip out to see it for myself. Thankful for the guidance and company of Joseph Rossbach's Workshop. I had a great time catching up with old friends, and making new ones.

Laugavegur Landscape
Iceland June 2016

A little Throwback Thursday to this past summer on the trail.
Seeing this pano reminds me of the beauty that awaits, the journey may not be an easy one, there are times you will be tested, but I can assure you that it's definitely worth the climb.

As we are nearing a close of 2016 I'm reminded of the great opportunities, adventures, and relationships that have been explored this year, and I reflect with a grateful heart.

I know I say it often, but I ADORE my family session time, especially when you have a connection with the family. I met this sweet momma during our first year in Maryland, and over the last few years, I've been able to watch her family grow. So much energy and love to go around. Thank you for thinking of me to shoot your family photo session.-Jenn

Out of all the fish in the sea, you two managed to find one another. It was an honor to capture a few photos for your engagement session, and I'm wishing you two many blessings on your next chapter as husband and wife. xoxo-Jenn

Cabin in the Woods
Babcock State Park

Literally stopped in my tracks as I passed the trail leading to this cabin. On that cold rainy evening, it sure would have been nice to retreat to the cozy cabin and fireplace.

Glade Creek
Clifftop West Virginia

It's amazing how an overnight shower can transform the landscape. Water level seemed to rise by the hour with the non stop rain.

Beautiful foliage blowing down with the wind and rain as the waters rush past.

Iconic West Virginia
Babcock State Park

No matter your skill in photography, we all have locations that we would love to shoot. Call it a bucket list or dream sheet of sorts. For me, I've been wanting to shoot Babcock State Park in the peak of fall, since I found out about its existance.

Windows down, driving the back roads on a crisp fall day with vibrant fall colors as far as the eye could see. That was the thought when I headed out......what I got instead was rain, strong winds that blew most of the leaves off, and rising waters.

Grateful still for the opportunity, I seized it and made the best of the conditions. On a good note, it gave for a rushing waterfall which made for plenty of photo ops, and I made a few friends. I wasn't about to let a cold stop me from shooting my bucket list location.

The take away I learned from this weekends trip was to stay the course and despite the final product, the joy you find in exploring what makes you happy will always be worth it.
