Welcome to My Journey

 Welcome to My Journey: Capturing Earth's Beauty, One Image at a Time

Hi, I'm Amanda, a passionate landscape and wildlife photographer, and the heart behind Inez Photography. Ever since I was a teenager, photography has been my way of connecting with nature, capturing the beauty of the world around me. My father introduced me to this art, and it quickly became not only a passion but also a source of peace and purpose.

I focus on landscapes and wildlife because these moments in nature inspire me to slow down and appreciate the wonders of our planet. But my journey isn’t just about photography—it’s also deeply personal.

A Little About What I Deal With

I deal with anxiety, depression, and occasional seizures brought on by stress. These challenges don’t define me, but they shape how I see the world and express myself through my art. For me, being in nature is a form of healing. It brings a sense of peace and calm that helps me through the tough times. My photography is a reflection of those moments when I feel most connected to the earth, away from the noise, in the company of wildlife and landscapes that remind me of the beauty life holds.

My Mission

My mission with this blog—and my photography—is to inspire others to see the world the way I do: as something worth preserving. Through my lens, I aim to capture the raw essence of nature, from majestic wildlife to serene landscapes. More than that, I want my work to ignite a passion in others to protect our planet and its inhabitants. Every image I share is a reminder that these wild places and creatures need our care and attention.

In the future, I hope to donate a portion of my photography earnings to wildlife and environmental conservation efforts, as well as charities that support mental health awareness. These causes are close to my heart, and I want my art to contribute to making a difference.

What’s Next

I’ll be sharing my journey, my photography, and stories from the field here on this blog. Whether you’re a fellow nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or just someone looking for a bit of inspiration, I hope you’ll join me as I continue capturing Earth’s beauty, one image at a time.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing more with you!

A Thanksgiving of Gratitude

 As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, it’s a time to reflect on what we are most thankful for, and for me, this year has brought a lot of meaningful moments that have filled my heart with gratitude. First and foremost, I am deeply thankful for the new friends I've met along this journey. Connecting with people who share similar passions and interests has been incredibly rewarding. Each new friendship has brought fresh perspectives, encouragement, and support. It’s a reminder of how powerful human connection can be, especially when we share in each other’s growth and challenges.

Preserving Our Treasures: Why National Parks Matter to Everyone

Image
 Close your eyes and picture this: a place where the air is crisp and pure, where towering trees whisper in the wind, and where the golden light of sunrise stretches across endless mountains. Imagine the thrill of spotting a wild mustang galloping freely, or the quiet reverence of watching a mother grizzly nuzzle her cub in the early morning mist. Even if you’ve never stepped foot in a national park—if you’ve only ever known the rhythm of city life—imagine standing there. No skyscrapers. No traffic. Just you, the earth beneath your feet, and the heartbeat of the wild all around you. As a wildlife and landscape photographer, I’ve spent hours waiting for the perfect moment—when a Blue Heron locks eyes with my lens, when the last rays of sunlight kiss a lake edge, when an eagle spreads its wings against a sky painted in hues no artist could recreate. I capture these moments so others can see them. But no photograph can ever replace the feeling of being there—breathing it in, feeling y...
