About Me
Hi, and welcome! I’m Lona, a name lovingly passed down from my grandmother.
Photography has been my constant companion for much of my adult life—a way to connect with the world, capture its beauty, and fuel a love for adventure. But when tragedy struck and I lost my eldest son, the camera I once cherished sat untouched. The grief was overwhelming, and creativity felt like a distant memory as I navigated a world that seemed endlessly dark.
Over time, amidst the shadows, I found a spark of hope—a determination to rediscover the light within myself and in the world around me. Nature became my sanctuary, and photography became the means through which I reclaimed my sense of purpose and adventure.
My travels have taken me across six continents, from hiking the Inca Trail in Peru to trekking the Himalayas, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, and photographing the icy wilderness of Antarctica. Each journey has offered moments of awe and discovery, pushing me to embrace challenges and uncover the beauty in every corner of the world.
Through my blog and photo gallery, I’m just beginning to share these moments and invite you to see the world through my lens.
