I recently took up photography last year after getting a new Canon Rebel EOS SL1 in white. I am still learning how to use it, but I really enjoy taking hikes to discover new things to take photos of.  I have learned so much about desert plants, animals, insects and Arizona history through my new passion with photography.  I never realized how relaxing it can be to take photos. 

Some shots take hours of waiting to capture the perfect shot and I have fallen in love with my new camera. 

Now that I have built up quite a collection of some pretty amazing photographs, I am making the very best ones available to all of you as stock photos you can use and enjoy.

I have two more lenses on my wishlist and I hope the money earned from my photos can further support my new found love of photography. It is quite an expensive hobby, but I live in an area surrounded by amazing landscapes, plants, animals, and insects!
