Hi! I’m Laura. I’m a mortgage lender as my full time career but my true desire is to be in nature as often as possible. I believe we get so caught up in rushing through life that many people miss the beauty of it all. I work hard but also don’t believe in working your life away. There is so much more out there. A heart of gratitude and being able to slow down to soak the beauty of nature in… that’s the winning ticket in life. That’s the kind is rich life I chase!

I have loved the outdoors and camping since I was a child.  Sitting around a campfire with friends or family is one of my top favorite things to do in this life. I believe nature is healing. When I’m in the mountains, it’s where I feel the closest to God.

My name is Aaron, I'm 27 years old, and I'm a Christian, outdoors-loving, adventure photographer.  Currently, I'm blessed to be able to live in the Tetons and mostly enjoy hiking and climbing photography with some landscape and wildlife mixed in there.  I love to document my days in the mountains and share them with others to hopefully inspire someone to get outside and do hard things.

Drawing | Painting

Drawing has always been a place I’ve turned to since childhood. It’s balancing and I love the process of observing people and places. My background has been based in very traditional techniques to arrive at realism. However, I’m at a place now where interpreting the emotional rather than the factual brings art more to life by offering a fuller perspective.

Photography

I first picked up a camera as a way to connect with my dad and brother, and what began as a simple hobby has turned into a deep passion over the past 14 years. Today, I spend 4–5 days a week hiking in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, where I bring my camera to capture both wildlife and landscapes. I feel most alive in the mountains, and moose have become my favorite subject, with over 100 encounters in just the past year. Photography allows me to share these wild moments, not just as images but as stories. My dream is to sell my work and tell my story in a way that inspires others to see that they, too, are unique and enough because of their own story.

Hey, I’m Kiki! I’m just starting my journey in photography and love how nature sparks creativity.

Can’t wait to meet everyone, share experiences, and capture some magic together!

Photography

it started with a Canon t50 film at 25. Sadly after 35 yrs I realized I new how to take good photos but did not understand photography. All self taught. At 59 I entered the real estate media game and learned about flash, editing with PS LR, learned Video and drones. I lost my hobby for a few yrs learning the business and quickly retired. My Hobby came back with a camera system change after 35 yrs to M 4/3 and now I am mostly a video guy remembering to take photos when I can.

For the past 20 years, I have worked as a musician in a municipal choir in South Korea while also serving as a conductor and educator. While music has been at the core of my life, photography has always been another creative outlet—one that has allowed me to capture the vastness of the world, especially after moving to the United States.

Now based in Dallas, I am exploring the intersection of education and photography, seeking ways to go beyond simply capturing beautiful images to create meaningful art that brings joy and inspiration to others. I am particularly interested in how storytelling through photography can connect with people on a deeper level, just as music does. By integrating my experiences in music, education, and visual storytelling, I hope to find new ways to enrich lives and share unique perspectives.

About four years ago, I realized I needed a change, so I left my secure job and became a tour guide at Glacier National Park. That decision liberated me and taught me to slow down,in the best way possible. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, I began noticing the small details I had overlooked before, and my camera became the tool that helped me truly see and appreciate them. Photography forced me to pause, be present, and savor the quiet moments. Since then, I’ve upgraded my camera, honed my skills, and deepened my connection to the natural world.
