A Look Back | Chickasha, Oklahoma Landscape Photographer

My post these days are seeming a little bare ;). I just wanted to share some landscapes I've taken over the past couple years....

Above: This was taken at a secluded location near Echo Lake at the bast of Mt. Evans in Evergreen, Colorado. I just love that little golden spot shining on the rock from the sun :).

Above: This was taken a few weeks ago just outside my home in Chickasha. The colors were so amazing, I LOVE sunrises here in Oklahoma! :) That's the biggest thing I missed when we lived in Colorado....being able to SEE the sunrises and sunsets....it doesn't get much prettier than this.

Above: This one as you know if featured at the top of my blog. It's my favorite panoramic landscape I have taken.... I'm not sure why lol! I just love how that jet trail arches over the mountains like a rainbow. This was taken outside of Aspen, Colorado in May 2009 - My 3 year anniversary (he was so sweet to surprise me with a weekend in Aspen; although we didn't spend much time in town, mainly exploring places like this!).

Above: This photo was also taken near Echo Lake in Evergreen, Colorado. It may not be the best photo I've ever taken but the roots give it so much character! :)

What a Night - Lawton, Oklahoma Landscape Photographer

So last night was very eventful indeed.

Just after my maternity shoot with Stefanie, I was suppose to have another shoot with a Senior named Kirsta... It started to get super windy and dark. I didn't have her phone number (what was I thinking?!) so I just started shooting her tons of emails hoping she would get them and not show up. I waited as long as I could but it was pitch black already and I had to leave for my hour commute back home to Chickasha.

When I left the lightening was literally striking right beside my car.... I wanted SO BAD to stop and take photos but I'm that stupid! ;o) I drove onto the interstate when it starts pouring on me... I get a few miles down the road before I start to be blinded by the rain. I couldn't see the lines in the road and my suv was blowing all over the place! So what do you do? Pull over! Only I was terrified that I was going to get rammed so I booked it and took off...at very high speeds of 15 mph! :o)

It wasn't all disastrous though... I didn't manage to get this shot of the storm before it completely hit.
