we ended our time at the goosewing and had a week or so to enjoy the scenery of wyoming.
i spend at least 3 or 4 weeks in wyoming every year, but i just never seem to tire of the land, people, and animals.
Elle’s never been to yellowstone, so we spent a few days up there, a few in the tetons, and then a few near pinedale, at soda lake and green river lakes.
it was too short, as always… but we had an appalachian adventure to get to. so we’ll have to spend extra time up there in september :)
we traveled back up to wyoming in june to service ranch HAND | photographic’s newest client, the Goosewing Ranch.
just minutes from jackson, wyoming, the Goosewing is a phenomenal guest ranch for the whole family. they offer phenomenal views, amazing wildlife, horseback riding, daily activities, and even the finer amenities like massages and fine wine. they have their own trout stocked pond, and the gros ventre river right in their front yard; a true angler’s paradise. they are also at the doorstep of grand teton and yellowstone national parks!
here are just a few of the images we captured for them this summer… and we can’t wait to go back in september to shoot their fall photos.

we had a shoot in anna maria, florida a few weeks ago, shortly after the san diego trip… it was so nice to get back to the ocean.
i’m not usually much of a sunset photographer, but they were just insane out there. so i had to. and it also happened to be the super moon weekend.
i don’t enter contests very often.
but this year, we decided to make it a goal to enter a few, and hopefully win more awards.
our first for 2012 is pdn’s great outdoors competition.
here are our 7 entries…
along with traditional judging, they have a people’s choice award as well…
if you feel so inclined, please vote for me!!
if your answer is, “well, not really, but sure!” then you’re like us.
we feel very blessed to do what we do. traveling, meeting great folks, and photographing the world.
but every once in a while, you really do just need to go to beautiful beach somewhere and drink fruity beverages while relaxing in the sun, if at all possible.
so we took a few days off and headed back down to the mayan riviera in mexico, where we went last year before for our honeymoon…
ahhh, relaxation. if you go in the middle of the week for just a few days to one of the hundreds of all-inclusives, it’s actually a very economical choice for vacation.
our resort was just a half a mile or so down the beach from a nature preserve…
crystal clear rivers running right into the beautiful caribbean waters! great for snorkeling.
but if you’re like me, and love what you do for a living, you need to work at least a little to keep your sanity in all that relaxation…
so i shot every day, and explored the possibility of shooting for resorts. and elle and i both kind of love that idea ;)
