This is my last Leadville update. Being there was an incredible experience, and I’m really happy with most of the pictures I took. I hope to go back someday and dive even deeper into the community. The town has truly captured my heart, and I miss it so much.

So as I finish up my time here in Leadville, I’ll be making updates with what I’ve been seeing and shooting. I have to say that this little valley is one of the most scenic and breathtakingly beautiful locations for a town that I have ever seen. Every street I drive down has a million different scenes I want to shoot, and the hardest part is picking the best ones to spend time at! But for now, these are my favorites:

There will definitely be more to come. I have barely scratched the surface of Leadville’s beauty.

I could die happy under these skies.

Here are a few snaps I took while driving from Ojai to Leadville. I can’t help it, when I’m on the road, I want to pull over every 5 minutes and take pictures–especially with the amazing weather I had this time around.

The Mojave.

Nevada.

Utah.

I spent the night in Green River, Utah after the first day of driving, and then woke up to this amazing sky:

Colorado!!

Snow <333

Yay Leadville!

So it’s been a while since my last update. I’ve been in Colorado for a little over a week now, doing a travel story on Leadville. Today I walked down to the Arkansas River right before the sun set and I realized how lucky I am to be in such a beautiful part of the world. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that when you’re working your ass off every day, but there it was, staring at me in the face this evening. And I couldn’t walk away from it; I just stared and sat and let the beauty around me absorb into my soul. My mom has been harping that message to me all week when I’ve called her freaking out about this or that: “Enjoy where you are and stop worrying about everything,” she says. I couldn’t agree more.

Thanks Mom.
