I treasure any little escape into the mountains. These shots encourage me to take a deep breath and appreciate the beauty around me. It's a calming feeling to know these places are there, surrounded by silence and waiting for me when life starts to feel too overwhelming. Through these images I can almost feel the silence, and it reminds me to take a moment and not be afraid to sit with it. I look forward to sharing these pieces in hopes it inspires others to slow down every now and then.
