Hi! I'm Jolene Gonzales.
My passion for photography began in high school, but I have spent the past six years refining and perfecting my skills. My photographs are captured during our family travels where I am rarely without my camera. My goal is to capture a photograph that will invite you to experience the same awe and peace that I witness in God's magnificent creations.
I have been recognized by multiple organizations for my work, including Best of the Centennial State.

My go to camera is the Canon R6 Mark II. I use all Canon lenses including the RF 15-35mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, and 100-500mm.
Do you use lens filters?
Most of the time I use a Polar Pro Circular Polarizer.
What is the best camera for landscape photography?
The one you take with you!
Any camera can take amazing images if you have the right lens and settings.
How do you carry your gear when you hike?
My go to setup is the Osprey Sirrus 34 hiking backpack with a Tenba BYOB 13 camera insert.
How did you get started in landscape and wildlife photography?
I got a Canon DSLR camera as a gift and started bringing it everywhere. I have tried several genres of photography but always go back to landscape and wildlife photography.
Where do you take your pictures?
I love to travel the western US, so most of my photos are taken in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Nevada.
