road trip – Yosemite

Last month I had an amazing opportunity to go on a road trip up to Yosemite and back with some of the most amazing and distinguished photographers in the industry! I felt so humbled and blessed to be apart of it. 10 photographers, 2 RV’s with one crazy load of photography equipment and we were off! I was so excited to go because I had never been to Yosemite before and had only heard about it in stories and seen it a few times in photos.  Seeing photos and hearing stories didn’t justify how magnificently glorious it is! Just breath taking!

1400 miles traveled and a couple hundred awesome conversations later I came back home with quite a breath of fresh air!  It was so cool to see God’s beauty in His creation, to feel His love and grace, to be in His presence unlike any other place and to see Him move and work in the hearts of His people. I was truly blessed to be apart of the trip. I was encouraged, challenged and excited to come home renewed and restored! I already can’t wait for the next opportunity to go again! Here is my puny attempt in trying to capture the magnificent beauty of God’s creation and a few of our experiences along the way! Enjoy!

You got such epic images, but is your friend on the road about to get run over!? 🙂 Such awesome awesomeness. I can’t say that word enough!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Wow, amazing! I really enjoyed seeing these photos. My favorite has to be the motorhome with the stars. And the one of you standing on the rock… that is insane!

Dude, those nighttime shots are SICK! Especially the tunnel- it’s like an album cover. Good hanging with you!

AMAZING pictures. I love the last one. Hilarious. Totally understand how it could turn like that at the end of the trip.
You captured Yosemite from such an amazing perspective. Makes me want to go there even more.
