Photo Journal - Rocky Mountain National Park - January 2025

In my January 2025 photo journal, I share my experience attending a photography workshop in Rocky Mountain National Park from January 23-26, led by Mandy Lea and Kendrick Callaway. The park’s winter landscapes, from frozen alpine lakes to abundant wildlife, made for an unforgettable trip. I’m excited for more workshops this year, including ones in Hawaii, the Grand Canyon, and Colorado’s San Juan Mountains.
