✨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.
