“The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.”
— Ivy Baker Priest

This quote has stayed with me. After losing my husband, it felt like everything had ended — but over time, I began to realize that picking up my camera again was a kind of beginning. A quiet return to myself. A new way to see, feel, and keep moving forward.

About Me

Hi, I'm Helen — a nature and wildlife photographer with a deep love for landscapes and the night sky.

Photography has always been part of my life, but it was the loss of my husband that truly brought me back to the camera. In the quiet aftermath of grief, I rediscovered the healing power of slowing down and noticing the world around me — the light through the trees, the stillness of animals, and the vastness above.

While I began with landscapes, my focus has shifted over the years to the raw beauty of nature and the quiet stories of wildlife. I’ve also become deeply drawn to video — capturing the subtle movements and fleeting moments that still images sometimes miss. Learning time-lapse photography has opened up new ways for me to share what I see and feel, especially when chasing light, shadow, or stars.

Of all the genres, astrophotography speaks to me the most. Though obstacles often stand between me and a clear night sky, each opportunity to photograph the cosmos feels like a quiet triumph — a reminder that there is still wonder in the world.

This space is where I share the beauty I’ve found through my loss, using my camera — one image, one moment, at a time. Thank you for being here.
