Stringer Lake in Grand Teton National Park

As I hiked to the shoreline of Stringer Lake just after sunrise, the world felt untouched and suspended in time. The Tetons reflected perfectly in the still water, their jagged peaks softened by the early morning haze. It was one of those rare scenes where everything aligns... the light, the silence, the solitude. I took a moment to breathe it in before reaching for my camera. This photo is my attempt to hold onto that fleeting beauty.

My name is Ashley, and I’m most at home under an open sky with a camera in hand. I’m an avid explorer of the outdoors and an amateur photographer who finds magic in the stillness of morning light. Nature offers a kind of quiet that inspires me to pause, observe, and create.
