Exploring NC

2017 was a very exciting year for me and I traveled to a ton of new places! I put together this top 10 of my favorite photos, and below is a video compilation of my favorite scenes of 2017.

I have many accomplishments to be grateful for in 2017 including becoming married, starting as a photography/multimedia teacher at Randolph Community College, being published by OurState Magazine, VisitNC, The Nature Conservancy of NC, and the US State Department. Videos of mine were aired across various national news outlets throughout the year including Fox, NBC, WFMY, The Weather Channel, and Weather Nation. The solar eclipse was an especially fun memory since I live streamed the totality and a wedding for The Weather Channel.

Sunset and car trails at Big Stone Gap, Virginia.

A clear view of the total solar eclipse! Captured August 2017 in Belton, SC.

The core of the Milky Way rising above Frisco Pier, captured early morning June 2017. North Carolina.

Swirling leaves and greenish/yellow autumn colors, captured mid October, 2017, at Windows Creek Falls. Part of Stone Mountain State Park.

Twin pines and an amazing lightning show, from a strong storm in Greensboro, NC, 2017.

Winter wonderland and Moore’s Knob above the fog, captured December in Danbury at Singletree Gun & Plough. The sky was overcast all day up until this image, but eventually the sun started to peek through the clouds, and the snow in the valley started melting which created a beautiful fog. The fog and clouds drifted against Moore’s Knob and created an amazing visual.

Bodie Island lighthouse, NC, in front of lightning bugs, the Milky Way, and a storm.

Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado, April 2017

A wild stallion pauses from his meal, showing a burst of energy and neighing at a couple of nearby female horses. Captured June 2017, during sunset at Corolla, NC.
