Emily Kent

Hi there! I'm Emily. A bit about me here, and then it's all about YOU!

When I first picked up a camera years ago it opened my eyes in a way that encouraged me to slow down and see my daily surroundings in a new light, and I began self teaching. I think we cultivate empathy and new approaches to our ingrained modes of thought when we stay open to viewing our environments from different angles, in various lights, and from others' perspectives as well. As a member of Nature First, a global alliance for responsible nature photography, a lot of my work focuses on our natural surroundings as I am passionate about the care and preservation of our outdoor spaces and wild places. I enjoy working with nature networks and organizations doing good things for the community and for the environment. I also love being able to capture your unique moments with those you love in the artistry of our natural surroundings. 

I grew up in the state of Minnesota where I worked for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees, in Psychology and Education. After college, my husband and I, along with our two daughters moved around the country during our family's 16 years in the U.S. Air Force. We transitioned to the mountains of Colorado in summer of 2019 and we are overjoyed to call this beautiful place home.

Feel free to contact me anytime with questions, project requests, or to purchase prints.

Thank you for spending time here and I look forward to connecting with you!
