Hi, I’m Lanissa — a nature-loving, light-chasing photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of the world through my lens… again.My photography journey started when I was 7 years old, armed with a film Canon camera and a roll of curiosity. By high school, I had turned the basement bathroom into a darkroom, taught a little, sold my work, and even judged photos at local fairs.But somewhere along the way, I realized I was experiencing life mostly through a viewfinder. I wasn’t burned out. I just wasn’t living it. So I set the camera down and let the world surprise me for a while.Turns out, it still does. A few years ago, I caught myself framing landscapes and wildlife with my iPhone more and more. So this spring, I jumped back in with a Nikon Z8, and yes, the settings were a beast, but we’ve made friends.Whether it’s a majestic mountain, a mischievous squirrel, or a single cactus flower standing proud in the desert, I love freezing those wild, whimsical, and breathtaking moments that make you stop and feel something.If you’re into landscapes, wildlife, textures, and tiny details that bring big emotion — you’re in the right place.
