March 2025 | Northern California Fine Art Photography
During March it was definitely more difficult to keep up my daily shooting/editing practice, but I’m very close! Spring continues to make her entrance and the days are beginning to get warm in comparison to just a month or two ago.
So as not to get too far behind, I’m keeping this post short.
Here are a few favorites from my shooting in March 2025.

Believe it or not, the above photo almost landed in the trash. But, that cute face saved her. More about that later.
“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!”


Nest building by the local egrets. If an egret could smile, that one certainly is!
I encourage you to get out there, enjoy nature, look to the ordinary for something extraordinary, and put your ‘spin’ on it!
Have fun!

As I sift through the images captured in May, I can appreciate all that the month held for me including trips to Utah and (just-for-fun-non-photography) Tennessee, a bit of macro, mentoring sessions, and a commercial shoot.
While I don't recommend photographing landscapes during the middle of the day, sometimes that's what you've got. So, take advantage of being in a gorgeous area like the California coast and click away!
Arches National Park is renowned for its stunning red rock formations, sculpted over millions of years by wind and erosion. It’s a paradise for hikers, photographers, and anyone who loves dramatic landscapes.
Starry, starry nights and oftentimes mornings, my Utah trip included plenty of astrophotography. What better place than the very dark skies in the area of Moab, Utah.
I love walking out into my garden and taking a deep breath. Despite the warmer temperatures, my sweet peas are still hanging in there.
Back to Utah! Nestled in the heart of Utah, Dead Horse Point State Park is a breathtaking destination that offers stunning vistas, exhilarating outdoor activities, and a rich history.
Nestled along the American River Parkway in Carmichael, California, the Effie Yeaw Nature Center offers a sanctuary for both wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. With its diverse habitats and abundant wildlife, it's a prime location for capturing nature's beauty through the lens.
On my recent trip to Canyonlands, we experienced an incredible sunrise and serenity in unexpected corners of the park. Here's what I learned: Canyonlands is full of magic beyond the Instagram-famous spots.
After leaving Capitol Reef NP, I headed to Moab for a photography workshop presented by Nate Leubbe and Autumn Schrock. After our Meet & Greet, we headed out to the La Sal Mountains Overlook.
Every year, as May draws to a close and summer unofficially begins, Americans across the country take pause on Memorial Day.
A few years ago, I set a goal for myself to visit as many of our National Parks as possible. A pretty loose goal, I know. But, the practical side of me knows that I will probably never visit some of the more remote of our National Parks.
April came and went in a blink, but not without leaving behind quiet stories, unexpected beauty, and fleeting moments that deserved to be paused. As I sift through the images captured in April, I can appreciate all that it held for me including…
It’s taken awhile to edit a few photos from the Waterfalls & More Photography Workshop held in April. Fortunately, the waterfalls were bursting!
Vintage spoons and mustard seed come together to create visually captivating still life compositions that evoke a sense of nostalgia and artistic charm. If you’ve followed my photography work for awhile, you are probably familiar with my ‘spoons’ project.
In spring the wild mustard blossoms and seems to flourish here in Northern California. The agricultural landscape and the country roadsides are decorated with this beautiful, cheery plant.
Tulips, with their vibrant hues and delicate petals, have long been cherished as a symbol of beauty and elegance in gardens around the world.
When I first started learning photography, in addition to photographing ALL THE THINGS, I was incredibly interested in macro photography. It intrigued me. The details and the blurry backgrounds seemed beyond reach. Because of this allure, a macro lens was the first lens I purchased (after the kit lens).

These words are running through my head right now: To everything there is a season. Spring 2025 begins as winter officially ends. Time marches on.
Foxes are fascinating and elusive creatures. So when a friend said she knew the location of some foxes and suggested we go photograph them, I was all in!
When I learned that the grebes were ‘rushing’, it wasn’t long before some friends and I had a plan to photograph them. Just a couple of hours away from where I live, there were foxes in the area to photograph as well.
After reviewing my 2024, I realized that I really only picked up my camera when I was traveling. So, I decided to commit loosely to a daily shooting practice.

If you’ve followed my work/blog for any time at all, you know that the National Parks are near and dear to me. National parks hold a special place in our collective consciousness, serving as sanctuaries of natural beauty and biodiversity.
Friends have been posting photos from a very snowy Maine. Beautiful! It prompted me to take a look back at my trip there a few years ago. Several friends and I were lured there for a still life photography workshop.

Someone asked me recently how I got started in wildlife photography. I think this old blog post from June 2020 sums it up quite well.
