Isn’t it nice that even when we have a bad day, we can sleep it off? Each day starts anew. We can, of course, remember yesterday’s issues while waking up as our feet hit the floor. We can just as easily decide to leave those thoughts aside and instead lavish our senses with tasty cup […]

Drive most anywhere along the Oregon coast and we’re likely to see hundreds of rocks of varying shapes and sizes lining the beach. Sometimes, when we’re lucky, we get to see them in a good light. Suddenly they look different…unique…beautiful even! Same rock.Same beach (plus or minus some sand.Yet different. The conditions in which we […]

A family member described as, “a complicated man with complicated relationships,” passed away recently. There’s much to unpack in that insightful passage, and one can walk away with various interpretations of it. If we take the complexity on its face, then contrary to what we might expect out of Hollywood, where someone’s the villain, or […]

Your theme for this quarter’s release is Autumn Nouveau! Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll receive mid-October. (We’re not giving away too much so you’ll be surprised and delighted when you open your package!) In a world where we’re constantly prompted to optimize our lives, increase our productivity, and speed things up, here’s an […]

Since everything is literally changing all the time, it’s easy to get stuck reacting to what we observe instead of thinking and planning more for what we desire to experience. Not surprisingly, this often leads us to feeling overwhelmed, dejected, and exhausted. Perhaps there’s another way. Like the mirrored surface of Glacier NP’s Avalanche Lake […]

When someone else wrongs us, often our first reaction is to reciprocate with like behavior. But who said we should always live our life per Hammurabi’s lex talionis? There’s no surprise that when we try giving someone else the benefit of the doubt, we’re usually the ones benefitting the most. And similarly, when someone does a […]

I’ve recently been noticing an interesting phenomenon. I had known in my head starting from the perspective of the solution rather than the problem is best, but when you’re in the thick of it, that’s sometimes easier said than done. It’s where practice is starting to help. Two events over the past couple of days […]

Ever notice how some people are seemingly unafraid to speak up, to express their thoughts, to run counter to the crowd? There’s such pressure, from so many sides, to conform and “behave” according to rules others have set for us. No wonder they stand out. When we think of those we admire, are inspired by, […]

Carlsbad Caverns had been on our list for a while, so when we finally returned to New Mexico, we made it a priority. Getting there was relatively easy while camping at Brantley Lake State Park. The park itself was relatively nice, although quite a few trees have been cut down so if you’re looking at […]

We were heading home from Breckenridge yesterday, driving in a short line of cars past Quandary Peak and over Hoosier Pass. As is always the case with a two-lane road, there was a car going a little slower, so everyone else got to pile in behind. It’s pretty easy to get annoyed at the front-most […]

We’re social beings. But not the only ones, and we see it with many other animals. Even certain tree species form entire, connective root structures from one tree to the next, creating an open sharing mechanism for communication and perhaps many other unknown-to-us functions. Humans are unique with our quite dominant egos, which sometimes makes […]

We almost missed this shot. Returning home to Denver one afternoon, we pulled onto US 285 heading east. As we climbed, I checked my rear view and saw Mt. Princeton quietly shrouded in clouds. We’d seen the mountain, one of Colorado’s 53 14ers, many times before, but not like this. Thankfully we were able to […]

Our lives can be pretty complex sometimes, and when we’re at a crossroads, what to do next can feel a bit blurry. Our intuition (gut feeling, inner being, whatever you wish to call it) is powerful, however, if we give our attention to it. In modern times, we often look for physically measurable phenomenon as […]

We spend a lot of time thinking about belonging. Finding a good match removes social friction and offers a sense of ease when being with one another. It keeps things easy. Sometimes though, if we’re paying attention, we can see when we’re standing outside of the group. But being a non-conformer is usually harder than […]

It was quiet and I was by myself at the Windows section in Arches National Park, showing up well before the day’s light began spilling over the horizon. I scrambled over boulders to climb about 25 feet up, intending to get a shot of Turret Arch through North Window Arch as the sun rose, lighting […]

There’s a tip photographers use to improve their photos, and that’s to change your height. To get better photos of kids or pets, for example, get down and shoot from their height. Or, as shown, pointing down from a high up cliff, from well above. In our day-to-day lives, we naturally operate at our normal […]

Shortly after visiting Yosemite National Park, we headed north to Montana and Glacier National Park. For proximity, we stayed at West Glacier RV, which is an easy walk to Glacier village and as near as you can get to the main entrance. This enabled us to easily pop into the park, along with seemingly hundreds […]

No matter your perspective, life is really complex. It’s moving every which way and seems impossible to confidently predict. Whether peering through a microscope or a telescope, our physical universe is unfathomably and impressively sophisticated. Even this plant’s leaves offer no discernible order to their direction. They simply grow in the direction of what feels […]

We’ve written on past Tuesdays of our love for Olympic National Park as it truly is one of our faves (shhhh, don’t tell the other parks!). The Tree of Life and rainbow of rocks are a few among many on one of our most popular galleries. But what really attracts us is the surf. There’s […]

Your wait is over! We’re thrilled to release our new project out into the world with a drizzle of inspiration, a dab of nurturing, and a dash of thoughtfulness. In a world where we’re constantly prompted to optimize our lives, increase our productivity, and speed things up, here’s an opportunity to slow down a bit […]

I‘ve really grown to love the desert (mostly thanks to Anne). I have a newfound appreciation for the creativity and tenacity of its inhabitants. Both plant and animal, they make the absolute most of their lean (with the exception of sunshine!) resources. It’s really quite impressive how a tree can thrive when its neighborhood is […]

We were hiking one afternoon through Oregon’s coastal woods in Shore Acres State Park and happened upon the most lush, moss-draped scene we could have imagined. The late-afternoon sun, dappled through tree leaves, momentarily highlighted parts of the magical green carpet and guiding our eyes across its elements. Looking at this scene reminds me to […]

Sometimes it seems like we’re having to heave ourselves uphill all the time on what feels like a daily Sisyphean merry-go-round. Every once in a while though, we break through with clarity of purpose and an outpouring of joy for what’s ahead. That’s what this tree, leaning far over and away from the continual sea […]

Why yes, it’s our Yellowstone National Park Journal post. If you’re a fellow Airstreamer, start here with our Camp Airstream recap. We’d not yet visited Yellowstone National Park until the year’s Wyoming exploration, despite getting close while visiting Grand Teton several years ago. While on the way north from Jackson we hit a pothole so […]

High atop Trail Ridge Road in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park, you’ll view the surrounding scenery from over 12,000 feet. Except when you don’t. It’s not uncommon for fog to roll in, sometimes in between mountain peaks, sometimes in wholesale billows, encompassing everything in its path. This was one such day, where we could see […]

This scene will never exist in this exact way again. We enjoyed it for one brief moment, with sunlight falling on young maple leaves just so, with neighboring trees basking in the shade. It can be a little unnerving thinking about the fact that this one, individual moment, is all we have available to us, […]

Sometimes the best move is just to lie down for a bit. This inviting hammock stretched just so between a pair of palm trees just says, “Try me!” as if you really ever had a choice. We found it on a Thanksgiving break’s stay at Palm Springs’ iconic Parker Hotel. Funnily, we’d assumed the place […]

Some years ago, back when we were wedding photographers, we vacationed typically in wintertime because it was the slow season. We visited Zion National Park on one cold & cloudy day, taking the winding Route 9 up through the Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel, leading to the park’s lesser-used Northeast entrance. Given the tunnel’s size, RVs generally […]

If you’ve been lucky enough to find yourself at Kalaloch Beach (pronounced clay-lock) on Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula, hopefully you’ve also found yourself staring at the gravity-defying Tree of Life.  Standing in the sand one would be forgiven if they don’t quite believe what they’re seeing before them. Floating in between eroded cliffs, this Sitka […]

There’s an isolated, peaceful place in Northern California named Sea Ranch. The community itself has a fascinating history and while the whole of its founders’ original purpose may not have lived on in perpetuity, its surrounding habitat remains largely and beautifully unperturbed. We had the pleasure some years ago of a short stay in one […]

Boy are we overdue for some blog posts! Thanks so much for your patience. Let’s start with a quick return trip through Grand Teton National Park (gallery) early last summer. This time we were lucky enough to secure an in-park campsite in the Signal Mountain Campground. Aside from being at the front of the loop, maximizing traffic around […]

You know how sometimes when you’re driving or walking along, just minding your own business, you glance over and see something which knocks your socks off? I was driving along the Oregon coast a bit north of Depoe Bay one summer morning and rounded a corner to this sight. Fog is a common summer phenomenon […]

Wildflower fans are already taken with the magnificent bloom underway in Death Valley. Later in summertime in Colorado’s Crested Butte, flowers bloom with mad colors, smothering the surrounding hills with vibrant blooms. They’re so widespread the town created an annual festival to celebrate their arrival, as if Crested Butte needed yet another excuse for people […]

I awoke early, a short while before sunrise, and sauntered outside to the balcony to take in the fresh sea air. We were visiting New Zealand and in a couple of hours would be taking the ferry to the South Island. In the meantime, we’d slept overnight in the Island Bay Lighthouse (literally, a former […]

When we first visited Yellowstone National Park last Summer, I had little to no understanding of its vast and incredible ecosystem. What some might see as a strictly inhospitable landscape, and certainly can be to us humans, is actually an abundant and diverse biome supporting a plethora of flora and fauna and is one of […]

We’re not kayakers. Well, at least not whitewater kayakers. But it sure is fun watching skilled paddlers take on eye-popping rides like Benham Falls. It’s along the Deschutes River near picturesque Bend, Oregon. This group repeatedly hiked upriver to put in, paddle their hearts out all through the falls, get out at the bottom, and […]

ten thousand words Sometimes when we’re in a specific spot we’re inspired to create a photo essay. And, as is typically true with creative work, we appreciate a good constraint or two. Since it’s often said a picture is worth a thousand words, we thought why not pick ten photos from each shoot—the ten most […]

How often do we feel prepared for what’s next? Sometimes we can see it coming, and sometimes it just slaps us upside the head with surprise. We’d been taking sunset shots at Arches National Park on a beautiful spring evening and, stomachs rumbling, were headed back down toward Moab for dinner. However, of course as […]

Traditional photography advice is to have the sun back over your shoulder so it lights up your subject. It’s a solid tip in some circumstances, such as most portraiture. Yet it’s hardly a hard and fast rule. Want some drama? Position the sun to your side for contrasting light and shadows, or even shoot toward […]

There are few things I enjoy more than finding beauty in unexpected places. This bright, strong, desert flower delights, surrounded by rocks in varying shades of beige and spied while on a sandy hike in Zion. I’m always amazed at what can grow and flourish in the most inhospitable of environments like the high desert. […]

We’d been staying at a spacious AirBnb in Sedona, Arizona one December when a rare snowstorm arrived, enveloping the area. But photographers know that combination of sunlight and dark, threatening skies are custom-built for dynamic, engaging photographs. So when the clouds and fog began to part late in the afternoon as the sun was low in […]

I have admittedly mixed feelings about this image.  In the strict sense—the perspective of the scene at the moment of capture—conveys the mystery and wonder of sunrise at Yellowstone, surrounded by waves of fog and mist arising from the Earth’s geothermal crevices. It’s a gentle and quiet scene and can evoke peacefulness, which is what […]

a&b’s favorites It’s a little like having kids (so we’ve heard)—you don’t have a favorite, or if you do, you certainly don’t say so out loud. Nonetheless, there are some images which have stayed with us over the years. Some because of their beauty or composition, and some because of the memories they evoke in […]

I’ve had this shot in my head for a while now so when we finally got to Olympic National Park, I was ready for it. I knew from my research there were beach rocks to be found in all sizes, shapes and colors along the windswept rocky coast of the Pacific Northwest. What I didn’t realize was […]

We bring a photojournalist’s eye to fine art landscape and travel photography across the American West, Pacific Northwest, and New Orleans. Traveling full-time in our Airstream, we pursue those fleeting moments of enchantment—the light that transforms ordinary into  extraordinary, the overlooked details that reveal a place’s true character. After documenting over 400 weddings, we now […]

Many people are surprised learn there are giant sand dunes in Colorado (it’s true!). One can stand, with shoes undoubtedly filled with sand, atop one of these ever-shifting dunes and watch the morning sun light up the mountainous Collegiate Peaks to the west (or watch it set behind them if you’re a night owl like […]

Just downhill from the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park is a fave hangout spot for mountain goats. One afternoon during our trek, we spied a female adult confidently descending a nearby cliff. What we didn’t also see at the time were its two playful offspring, until they emerged tentatively from some thick underbrush just […]

When we started working on the new hollandphotoarts.com, we didn’t realize it would take us a year to complete and share it with the world. But in the process, we rediscovered what mattered most: Perusing our work online should be easy and enjoyable. Information about our process, pricing, and philosophy should be visible and clear. […]

The casual viewer may eye this and do a double-take what with the combo of clouds and the island’s reflection. Wait, is that water? Indeed, it’s the calm, nearly wind-free waters of Crater Lake National Park, from which the ethereal Phantom Ship island emerges.  We converted one of our mirrorless Canon cameras to full-spectrum, meaning […]

Let’s take a moment this holiday season to appreciate design and decor for other parts of the year too! We were out for a restorative stroll one summer in New Orleans’s Garden District following a major surgery for moi. As we passed by this empty, grassy lot, a sole attraction caught our eye: this shopping […]

Like last week’s image, you might glance at this and determine these are desert flowers blooming against a blue-hued building. We were  south of Santa Fe, exploring the smaller artist-centric communities, when we spotted this house. People in this part of the country are not afraid of a little domestic color, especially when it contrasts […]

Desert life comes ready with its protective mechanisms, like the top of this cactus in Joshua Tree National Park which we named No. 2 (see the sharpened pencil shapes?). We had been in the area for a concert and figured a morning hike could invigorate the soul before the day’s oppressive heat set in. Walking […]

Today’s image is named “Blue Ridge” and…most viewers might look at the image above and think, “Oh, that’s clearly the Blue Ridge Mountains,” which look cleverly similar. Amazingly, it hails instead from the Pacific Northwest at Crater Lake National Park. It was late in the afternoon on a slightly hazy day with minimal winds. We’d […]

Hiking the Virgin River upriver from the Temple of Sinawava is a rite of passage for many. On this particular fall morning I held only a fraction of that desire, wanting instead to simply wade into the Narrows for a mile or two to see what there was to see as the sun rose. I […]

We’ve been only lucky enough to celebrate my favorite holiday in New Orleans once, but it is most definitely on our short list to go back. One of our dreams is in fact to walk/ride in the Krewe of Boo Halloween parade one day! It’s truly amazing and I say that having been to Mardi […]

new releases Our most recent travels during the summer and early fall of 2025 took us through gorgeous portions of the Pacific Northwest. Notably, we were able to spend some time in Mt. Rainier and Olympic National Parks in Washington, and the Oregon central coast and Crater Lake National Park, along with colorful Bend. We […]

Your Delight Is Our Primary Concern We work hard to produce quality work we’d be proud to see hung in spaces you call your own.

Birthed one year after I was born (!!), Top Notch Burger in Austin, Texas is a true institution. Most famous for its starring roll in Dazed and Confused, it’s embraced its, now very retro, 70’s design. It even has retained their car hop service resisting the “pave over the parking lot” ethos that so many […]

We always enjoy ourselves when we spend time in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico. Not surprisingly, since we’re avowed foodies, there’s plenty to keep our tummies happy, which also makes us delighted to share some of our finds and recs with you. Our campgrounds for our month-long stay included the KOA east of town […]

It’s hot outside and your mind is focused on just one thing: Getting and staying cool. So of course you head to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. Now, the name doesn’t engender a sense of cold, does it? But bear with me here. This tiny Main Street-only town which also serves as a magnet for heat-oppressed […]

Over of the toughest things about being on the road and our current lifestyle is missing family and friends. Happy Hour zooms help, but of course there’s no replacing face to face, hug to hug so we’ll take any and all opportunity to get back together when we can. This past Thanksgiving when we were […]

Let’s face it. Choosing favorite wedding images is — we’ve heard — like choosing favorite children. If you happen to really have a favorite, you certainly don’t tell anyone. Nonetheless, while it was difficult narrowing things down, here’s a small sample from the nearly 400 weddings we photographed between 2002-2016 that really touch us in […]

Despite being well into our 3rd year in our Airstream, we’d never been to a rally or organized Airstream event until this summer. Color us chagrined perhaps, but the first two years simply exploring beautiful Colorado was its own reward. We sure made up for it with Camp Airstream — Yellowstone though! The best part […]

How We Work Gear Most of our recent work is captured by Canon mirrorless cameras: an R6, whose sensor has been converted to full-spectrum light (visible, plus infrared and ultraviolet); and an R6 Mark II for typical color and B&W work. We keep our lens bag reasonably light with a 16-35mm f/2.8 EF-L, 24-105mm f/4 […]

They say you’ll know you’re a plunger if after your first plunge, you emerge red skinned, goose bumped with teeth chattering, and immediately want to do it again. Hi. I’m Anne.

Enchantment Awe & wonder. It’s those moments when time seems to stop, when a moment so genuine and beautiful makes you catch your breath and remember why being alive is so extraordinary. That’s what we’re after. Not just in moments of celebration and delight, but everywhere: in vast Rocky Mountain landscapes that leave you speechless, […]

We shared some of the incredible rodeo photos Bill captured at Manassa, Colorado’s two-day Pioneer Days. But in addition to the rodeo and demolition derby, they also have a little carnival action that night. Since it’s starting to get into Spring Fair Season™, we thought this little selection might get you in the mood. In […]

This winter, while still in New Orleans, we “hosted” our friends m&g down from Virginia for a week of revelry, or at least of food and drink. Because they’re among our dearest friends, and because we could use an excuse—any excuse—to further our culinary research of the Big Easy, we set forth to design the […]

You’ve probably heard the saying “Keep Austin Weird”, which we definitely should keep doing, but I’m going to propose another unofficial motto, “Keep Austin Lit”. No, not in the 420, Mary Jane way (my nose has let me know that there’s plenty of that already), but in a neon sign way. We’re not talking about […]

Annie always seems to come up with the best birthday surprises for me. I’d initially indicated a preference for a bottle of tasty single-malt Scotch as a birthday gift since space in an Airstream is limited and it was a consumable gift. But she offered me a choice: whisky or an heretofore unknown experience. Thank […]

Fat Tuesday is officially TODAY so we thought we’d celebrate the occasion with some of the festive and fun decorations we saw last month before we headed out ahead of the big snowstorm that hit the southern town. While a little snow doesn’t faze us too much, New Orleans is wholly unprepared for something which […]

Our first season with Ellie we camped in a gorgeous, tree-filled spot in Gore Creek in the White River National Forest near Vail, Colorado in early September, just as the mornings were getting brisk and the trees thinking about their winter break. At this point we’d had some practice boondocking, but this was the first […]

There are many, many reasons to love Colorado and the annual Donkey Dash in the high altitude mountain town of Creede is one of them. Every Summer the town’s population swells (during Winter the donkeys would likely outweigh the number of residents!) with spectators to watch runners and their donkeys climb the mountains through the […]

As you can see below, racers donned their speediest outfits and circled, round and round, about downtown Fort Collins this summer. They celebrated bicycles and beer, the official symbols of the great state of Colorado. It’s a high-profile race, and the costumes aided in their quest for endless circling amid friends—both new and old—to work […]

Sometimes it’s just nice to get out of the rig and work in a coffee shop (or brewery or distillery!) for a change of scenery. One of our favorite Breckenridge coffee shops is Mountain View Coffee and in their restroom is this painted sign with a wise saying on it: Your mind is the garden,your […]

There are very few things that can make me get up on a Saturday morning (ok, any morning) at o’dark thirty on a 40 degree morning in Telluride in JUNE, but the promise of several hot air balloons lit up and cascading over the mountain valley town would be one of them. Oh, that and […]

Many of you may know New Orleans is our soul city.

Last year it seemed like we nailed autumn in Colorado, hanging in the SW part of the state just as aspens around the San Juan mountains peaked. This year sadly it seems like we’re a couple of weeks late. We hung out at Sylvan Lake for a week before heading south to O’Haver Lake, about […]
