Hey out there! I’m Elle and I’m a hobbyist photographer based out of Northern Arizona. I’m new to this, but I’m trying to find joy and bright spots in what feel like incredibly dark times. I hope you enjoy my work!

Proof that even mountains need a hug every once in a while.

#MonochromeMonday

The Footstool 1,900m (6,234ft), Aoraki Mt Cook National Park

#Nikon #Photography

The Footstool is situated on the crest or Main Divide of the Southern Alps, and set on the common boundary shared by the Canterbury and West Coast Regions of South Island. It is located six kilometres north of Mount Cook Village and set on the boundary shared by Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park and Westland Tai Poutini National Park. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains north into the Copland River and south to the Hooker River. Topographic relief is significant as the south face rises nearly 1,900 metres (6,234 feet) above Hooker Lake in three kilometres. The nearest higher peak is Mount Sefton, two kilometres to the west-southwest.

Golden hour at the Grand Canyon on the 30th of July 2025 as seen from the South Rim at Grand Canyon Village. The Dragon Bravo fire is burning just out of frame, but this area is untouched and peaceful.

Dare Ye Enter the Sea Cave

One of the Points in Hug Point State Recreation Area in Oregon. That cave is inviting at a minus tide, but it's underwater at high tide.

#naturePhotography #artPhotography #photography #HugPointStateRecreationArea #OregonStateParks #OregonCoast #landscapePhotography

One of the Points in Hug Point State Recreation Area in Oregon. Horizontal image: in the foreground is the sandy beach with a hug log pointing generally at the cave at the base of the cliff behind. The beach and most of the cliff are lit by the blue sky above as the rising sun has not cleared the Coastal Range to camera right.

The point rises dramatically out of the beach. About two thirds of the way up, the rock is covered by shrubs and trees finally able to grow above the high tide line. In the center of the base of the cliff is a cave: just to cave left, a section of the cliff is bathed in the orange light of the rising sun sneaking through the mountains and trees to the east. Just to the left of the edge of the point you can see the beach continue on. There's a pair of beach goers there, tiny compared to the point. Behind them, a cloud/fog bank clings to the ocean on the horizon. Atop the cliff, a row of trees, top thirds illuminated by the rising sun, break up the blue sky.

Sunset Valemount British Columbia Canada. End of a long day of driving and exploring.

#valemount #photography #canada #rockymountains #travel #tf_photography #tf_photoscapes #tf_photoescapes

Low clouds and mist weave through the dark, forested mountains at dusk, with dramatic lighting casting a golden glow on the horizon. The layered ridges fade into the distance, creating a moody and atmospheric mountain scene.

I think this is one of my favourite photos I’ve taken so far. The Dragon Bravo fire is raging just out of frame while Plateau Point sits in enduring peace.

The Dragon Bravo fire at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon photographed on 30 July 2025 from the South Rim. This place means a lot to me, and seeing it burn brought to mind Buzz Aldrin’s description of the moon as “magnificent desolation.”

The sea lion in the first pic waddled right up to me so I backed up slowly and snapped a picture. She barked twice, gave me a silly look, and found a nap rock while the guy in the 2nd pic barked for hours.

A little outside my wheelhouse since I usually prefer nature photography, but I was really in awe of the way the lights at Petco Park cut through the night.

It was my birthday Friday, so my extraordinarily lovely bff & I popped over to San Diego. More pics coming soon. I hope they remind you, even if only briefly, that the natural world is truly wondrous & we’re lucky to share it.

Bears and squirrels and foxes. They all look so cuddly! If not friend, why friend shaped?

Grizzly bears at Bearizona. I can’t get over their gigantic heads! I’d love to give them a hug, but they’re called murder floofs for a reason lol.

Plus, some random clouds I thought looked cool.

It’s sunflower season in Flagstaff again 👀 These are from August 2024, the first month I had my camera, and before I knew to shoot in RAW. Hopefully, I’ll get some more shots this year.
