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.

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!!
we headed down to telluride after wyoming for about ten days.
we were working part of the trip, photographing a wedding, then we relaxed a few days to celebrate our 1st anniversary!
my first time to see a porcupine in the wild…
we were then off to aspen to see elle’s cousin, and then on to boulder to meet with backpacker magazine!
all in all, we put over 4,500 miles on my car…
as always, i shot some panoramics while in wyoming.
and i was happy to get some new mountains and landscapes that i haven’t shot previously.
please feel free to click on any of these images to view them larger… enjoy!
the tetons clouded in are still dynamic to me…
the reservoir outside of cody. completely frozen, and completely beautiful.
again, just a wider view this time…
these cliffs just west of cody, heading toward the east entrance of yellowstone, were my favorite new landscape of the whole three week trip. they were so dynamic contrasted against the flowing golden grass.
along the wind river, toward the northeast edge of the mountain range by the same name.
ah the tetons! the clouds finally broke on the second trip through on our way down to telluride.
the tetons from the jackson lake dam, with a frozen jackson lake foreground.
flaming gorge, utah in winter. not much snow, but even this time of year there are amazing colors.
