Welcome. My name is Vivien.

I’m passionate about nature and ecosystems, wildlife and habitats. This is where I share that passion through photography and writing.

Here’s a brief introduction to who I am and what I do.

My father always had a camera slung around his neck, forever asking us to pause on vacation so he could capture us “in action”. On walks, my mother continually stopped to look at flowers or mushrooms. It’s no surprise then, that these influences crept into my psyche. Now I’m stooped closely to admire nature’s details or stepping back to enjoy grand vistas, attempting to create a picture that captures the magic moment or memory along the way. I’m more inclined to photograph nature than people, though smiling faces fill my personal photo feed.

As I spend more time immersed in nature, I’m becoming increasingly aware of the magic of the environment, its amazing and miraculous complexities, the wild inhabitants large and small, and our collective human impact and impact on the wild life. I hope to share the joy I see in the world with you.

Look for me in the Tetons, where I’ll be saying, “Gosh, that’s just so beautiful” multiple times a day, even when I’m standing in a spot I’ve visited many times before. My husband will patiently be waiting for me to catch up to him on the trail.
