Sarah shares her story with us…
Which came first, photography or a career as a park ranger?
“Photography came into my life before I was a park ranger,” says Sarah. “I actually got a paper route when I was about 12 or 13 just so I could afford to buy my first camera.”
Sarah continued taking photos after she became a park ranger. Her love of photography and being outdoors exploring nature go hand in hand.
“Photography has so many specialties—especially with digital—so, there’s always a new way to keep learning and pushing the craft.”
