Embracing Growth: A Winter of Creativity and a Spring of New Beginnings

 This December has been an exciting and fulfilling month for me. As the year comes to a close, I’ve reached a significant milestone: I’ve officially graduated from my entrepreneurship workshop classes! These classes have been a journey of growth and discovery, giving me the tools and confidence I need to take my photography business, Inez Photography, to the next level. Each session challenged me to think deeply about my mission, strategies, and goals, and I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come.

Christmas was just two days ago, and the holiday spirit has left me feeling warm and grateful. I’ve cherished the festive lights and spent quality time with loved ones. My mom and I enjoyed our holiday traditions, like watching The Grinch with Jim Carrey, which always brings laughter and nostalgia. This year felt extra special, as we reflected on the past and looked forward to new beginnings. It’s been a time of joy, gratitude, and hope for what’s ahead.

One of the most exciting surprises this season has been receiving a GoPro camera. This gift is a game-changer for my photography journey! With its versatility and ability to capture high-quality images and videos in challenging conditions, I’m thrilled to explore new creative possibilities. Once spring arrives next year, I plan to use the GoPro for behind-the-scenes glimpses of my photography journey, giving you a closer look at how I capture the beauty of nature.

During this winter season, I’ll be focusing on AI artwork until spring. Channeling my creativity into this medium has been a wonderful way to expand my artistic expression, especially as I combine abstract art and nature themes. It’s exciting to see how this new approach complements my photography.

I will also be continuing to upload photos to my Redbubble and Fine Art America accounts. There will be something for everyone, and it would mean so much to me if you could support my journey—whether by purchasing, sharing, or simply following along. Your support helps bring my vision to life and keeps me motivated to create.

In the spring of next year, I look forward to sharing more on my YouTube channel. The journey ahead is filled with opportunities to grow and evolve as an artist. I’m incredibly thankful for all the support and encouragement I’ve received along the way. Here’s to embracing new challenges, celebrating achievements, and continuing to capture the beauty of our world, one image and one creation at a time.

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.

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 reflectio...

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...
