Jesus is behind all I do as a photographer. I feel the Lord reveals Himself to me through His nature and feel this is a gift that allows me to see the raw beauty of creation through His eyes. He even allowed me to photograph two miracles at once. Go to my “About Judy” page to view this unique photograph.

My favorite subject to photograph is bears, but I also love to photograph all wildlife, flowers, and birds—especially hummingbirds:) I also created the Hummingbird Trail at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia.

I’ve given talks about hummingbirds, a talk about black bears, and various other presentations.

I live near Knoxville, Tennessee, and love photographing Tennessee’s wildlife and landscapes.

The State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens is my second home! I love to photograph this gorgeous garden:)

I researched and designed the Hummingbird Trail for the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. The trail hosts 21 markers that show where the ruby-throated hummingbirds frequent within the Garden. Trail maps are available at the Visitor Center front desk.
