✨Featured National Park Photographer Spotlight!✨ Meet Sarah Jane Moore!

I’ve been hooked on photography since I was a kid. I started with disposable film cameras and slowly worked my way up to now chasing wildlife with my DSLR + 200-500mm lens.

Wildlife photography takes patience… sometimes hours in the cold and rain for nothing, other times for that one perfect shot. And honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything—it’s my passion. I feel like there’s a story behind just about every shot that I’ve taken and each one holds special memories!

I’m thankful for the opportunities I’ve had to spend time in and capture God’s beautiful creation!

Here are a few of my favorite captures.

I recently got back from camping for a week in Roc

I recently got back from camping for a week in Rocky Mountain National Park and LOVED my time there. It felt great being in nature and soaking in the beauty around me. This is Calypso Cascades. It is located in the Wild Basin region of the Rocky Mountain National Park. This more remote area has beautiful water features like this one. Make sure to stop at Copeland Falls on the way up! The hike was a little challenging because of the uneven terrain and elevation gain, but it was totally worth it! I got lucky and some clouds covered the sun just in time so I could get a soft water shot. If you have more time and stamina, you can continue your hike up to Ouzel Falls. Calypso Cascades hike: Distance: 3.6 miles round-trip, Difficulty: Moderate, Elevation Gain: 610 ft Have you been to Wild Basin? What is your favorite photography location?

📸 Landscape Photography Tip! Be patient. When hiking in the Narrows, in Zion National Park, there was a constant stream of people going back and forth. I really wanted a long exposure shot in this location, and so, I had to wait and then wait some more. I finally got this shot when people walked behind the large boulder:)

✨Featured National Park Photographer Spotlight!✨ Meet Hunter Rice!

My name is Hunter Rice. I’m from the Upstate of South Carolina. I have been doing photography now for 4 years. I have a huge passion for the outdoors and God’s creations. It is so fascinating to get to capture all these incredible landscapes that God created for us. I love capturing that moment that doesn’t look real and just soaking it all in trying to achieve the perfect shot! I have a lovely wife name Sarah and 2 Boykin Spaniels named Ruck & Rue. We love traveling to national parks and going on hikes each year and sharing our adventures with others. The mountains are like home to me.

I am so blessed to have grown up near the Blueridge Mountains in North Carolina where I spend a lot of time hiking and taking photos of the beautiful sceneries of western North Carolina. You will find me in the woods hunting, national park traveling, or day trips with my wife and pups up to the Blueridge parkway in western North Carolina.

✨ Featured National Park Photographer Spotlight!

✨ Featured National Park Photographer Spotlight! ✨ Meet Chris Harris!

Hello! I’m a program manager by day, but a photographer by hobby and it’s an immense source of inspiration and joy in my life that I love to share with whoever will listen. I’ve been actively doing photography for about 7 years now, focusing on landscape and some street stuff. Based out of San Diego, but I grew up on the East Coast. I’ve always been fascinated with the outdoors, but moving out West and taking in the beautiful landscapes out here renewed a love of nature and awakened a creative spark in me that turned me to photography.

As my love for photography has grown it has continued to take me to some of the most awe-inspiring places, with our national parks being a continued draw. I’ll never forget the first-time visiting places like Yosemite, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Glacier, etc. and just being blown away by the beauty and knowing that I’m going to have some fun with my camera.

I live for that feeling I get when I’ve got the perfect composition, with the right light conditions and a cooperating sky, and knowing that I’ve captured a golden moment.

I’m currently living the digital nomad life, traveling around the country with my girlfriend and our doggo, visiting the national parks we come across along the way. My other hobbies include hiking, camping, live music, playing guitar, hitting up a good brewery, and spending time with good friends and family. I’ll continue to capture the natural beauty of this country and world as much as I can, and will continue to share my work. If my pictures bring a smile to your face, or brighten up your day or just bring you a moment of joy, that’s all I need.

Sunset in Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, V

Sunset in Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

From the photographer: "Big Meadows is located along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah Valley National Park and is part of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s a large open meadow that seems out of place after driving countless miles along winding mountain roads through the Appalachians and is a perfect spot to view a wide variety of wildlife year round."

📸 Landscape Photography Tip! Don't force your

📸 Landscape Photography Tip!

Don't force your expectations on others and allow time for you. When I went to Joshua Tree National Park, I wanted to photograph the Cholla Cactus Garden right at sunrise, but I had my husband and kids with me and I didn't want them to miss out. So I tried to get everyone out of bed 30 minutes before sunrise. Of course, there were delays, and with the delays came frustration. By the time we got in the car, sunrise was already starting (see second photo).

I met another photographer at the Cholla Cactus Garden who had just finished up when I arrived. While I still had some golden hour light, I had missed the moment I wanted and felt sad. I asked him how he did it. He said,"Oh it's simple. I leave the rest of my family in the hotel. I learned a long time ago that it went easier if I got my images without my family and then went back for them to show them the park during the day."

I have held on to that advice. Now I only bring those with me who really want to see the sunrise with me and let the rest sleep in.
