NATIONAL PARKS APPRECIATION

Happy 101st anniversary to the National Parks system!

To celebrate one of the most prideful parts of these United States, here is a compilation of the parks we have visited so far in our lifetimes. Only sixseven! – so far, but it is a very important goal to explore the dozens of other unique monuments and vast lands this wonderful country has to offer us.

Below are a mosaic of photographs we have captured from National Parks and Monuments in the following territories: Colorado, Puerto Rico, New York and Texas.

Please enjoy them and please go visit them, be in awe of them, take care of them!

UPDATE! – We have since added a new park in a new state to our visitation list. This time it is the unbelievable, other-wordly National Park known as Carlsbad Caverns located within the land of enchantment, New Mexico. Photographs taken within this park have been added to the collection below. Please review and enjoy!

 

 

 

New York State of Mind – The City and the Journey to Niagara Falls

Hello How are ya! We are back, with many returns to share with you. Below you will find our discoveries of New York – throughout the city and the state, as we made the trek across from Manhattan to Niagara Falls. This trip was tons of fun, we accomplished just about everything we had planned – including Times Square, Chinatown, the Statue of Liberty, Freedom Tower, Central Park, Niagara Falls (ziplining!) and much more — but only scratched the surface of what New York has to offer! Till next time!

Let us know what you think, if you have any questions or comments, and consider us for any project or event you would to have captured — We will do it!

May In And Around Austin

Observing meteor showers, bat migration, Hamilton pool preserve, downtown Austin nightlife.

We recently visited Austin for business and pleasure during a wonderful span of spring in early May. We packed our visit full of fun, including:

  • Hiking the Walnut Creek Metro Park
  • Taking a dip in the Barton Springs pool
  • Driving out to Johnson City and observing the peak of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower
  • Stumbling upon the Congress Avenue bridge for the million bat aerial show
  • Reserving time at the Hamilton Grotto Preservation and swim

Below are select photos from this great mini-vacation. Please take a look through! Let us know what you think, and consider us for your next shoot! We’ll do it!
