ABOUT JESSICA

I am a nature photographer. I have been photographing nature for the last 30 years. I spend as much time as possible exploring the trails, waterways and natural areas to create images that exemplify a sense of peace and tranquility. I sometimes spend hours in the same spot anticipating the perfect light. I hope that my images will help others see the beauty of nature and the need to preserve the animals and natural areas that are fundamental to our world. My subjects include landscapes, animals, waterfalls, old buildings, flowers, and anything beautiful I find on my travels. Some of my photographs are taken in the infrared spectrum of light. 

ABOUT BRIAN

Photography, for me, is a way of paying attention. Growing up in Wisconsin, I was drawn to the quiet shifts in light and weather—mist on the water, snow-softened trees, the last color in the sky at day’s edge. Picking up a camera became less about taking pictures and more about noticing moments that are easy to pass by. I work with natural light and minimal editing because I want each photograph to feel true to how it felt to stand there: the calm of a still lake, the warmth of sunset, the hush of winter. Photography is important to me because it turns those brief, quiet experiences into something we can return to. If someone pauses, breathes a little deeper, or feels a sense of peace when they look at my work, then the image has done its job.
