✨Featured National Park Photographer Spotlight!✨ Meet Kristen Ryan!

Kristen Ryan is a landscape and nature photographer specializing in capturing the grand and intimate beauty of our natural world. Her love of nature goes all the way back to her childhood when her visits to her grandparents home in the Tetons led her to fall in love with the jagged peaks, vast views and quiet moments in their forested backyard.

These days, moments spent in nature are her meditation and calm when the worries and distractions of life as a busy mom fade away behind focus on the light and beauty framed in her viewfinder.

Her heart lies in capturing the beauty around us and the magic that happens when nature photographers come together. She is passionate about encouraging women to find creativity and connection at her ladies’ landscape photography retreats in the US and Canada and in her online community, Women Capture Magic. See more of her work at www.kristenryanphotography.com

“There can be nothing in the world more beautifu “There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children’s children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt

✨Featured National Park Photographer Spotlight!✨ Meet Ryan Larrivee!

My journey into photography didn’t begin in a studio or an art class—it began in conflict zones.

During my time in the United States Marine Corps, I saw corners of the world most people overlook— places often scarred by conflict and hardship, but filled with unexpected beauty. This experience changed me. I no longer wanted to just travel - I wanted to see the world in its raw, unfiltered beauty. 

After my time serving, I had dreams of becoming a photojournalist - trading my rifle for a camera to tell stories that mattered. But life pulled me in a different direction. I stepped in healthcare, choosing to help people in a new way. 

Ten years later, that creative fire still burns. And now, it’s time to answer that call. I’m ready to risk it all to chase the dream I put on hold—becoming a full-time professional photographer. This isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about capturing the real—the light, the grit, and the stories waiting to be seen.

According to the National Park Service, Yellowston According to the National Park Service, Yellowstone National Park is estimated to have over 5,000 bison. Hayden and Lamar Valleys are the best locations to spot bison, although this one was found traversing the Grand Prismatic Spring area of Yellowstone! When photographing wildlife, always remember to keep a safe distance and use a telephoto lens when possible.

✨ Featured National Park Photographer Spotlight! ✨ Featured National Park Photographer Spotlight! ✨ Meet Maria Jaeger:

I am Maria Jaeger, a landscape photographer living in VA. My journey began wandering the Blue Ridge Mountains at dawn, learning to chase the perfect light and those beautiful, unforgettable moments in early morning. I’m drawn to the wild beauty of nature in particular the Grand Teton National Park—a place where towering peaks, glassy reflections, vibrant wildflowers, and beautiful forests come to draw me in. The Tetons feel like home to me. Their rugged presence, ever-changing light, and serene stillness fuel my creativity. 
I chase those quiet moments when nature reveals something truly timeless. I’m always looking for the right compositions—reflections in still water, textures in the trees, or wildflowers glowing in golden hour light. Every photo I take is more than just an image to me—it’s a way to hold onto a moment forever, to remember what it felt like to stand there in awe.

I believe in planning—but more importantly, in going with the moment. I immerse myself in what I see, and the unique details through the viewfinder. Photography is about feeling as much as it is about technique. I experiment often, adjusting settings and perspectives as I go. Rules can guide you, but I don't always follow them—because photography is art, and art knows no rules.

Photography is my way of exploring the world and keeping the wild places close to my heart.

The Acadia Mountain Trail is a moderate 2.5 mile loop trail that ascends rocky staircases and connects with the Man O' War Brook Trail. We went in a counterclockwise direction. When you go, be sure to have a way to carry your gear while you rock scramble. I had to use my tripod on several occasions as a hiking pole to help me navigate the uneven terrain. At only a 681 foot summit, this one was definitely worth the hike!
