Meet Lavonne Hing

Our Founder and artist Lavonne is a retired CPA via a 35+ year professional track. She has discovered first-hand that travel photography is her healing tool. It's been front and center for her journey back to mental and physical health. "There's nothing out there to help us fill our "wellbeing" buckets at the same time we exercise our creative and technical minds. "I wanted to create a company which does just that, and makes it fun. " - Lavonne

Fun Landscape Photography Retreats

Since the early 1990's, Lavonne has enjoyed taking special trips with like-minded individuals with cameras in their bags. Since moving to the Southern Nevada region digital cameras have developed and dominated the camera scene. However, there's always a little twinkle in her eye when "film" is mentioned.

Lavonne's goal with this website is to help others capture their vision, with a camera.

Over the past 30 years Lavonne has successfully captured her vision of her photographic subjects. Her goal with this website is to help others capture their vision, with a camera. She's also become a gadget queen in the digital world and will introduce you to all kinds of "trouble". -- Let's hear from her: -->

Lavonne's Creative Process

Post-Processing is as important to me as the actual capture of photos. I can work for hours on end "In My Zone", which is an integral healing part of my photography. I had heard from a fellow in my Chronic Pain Clinic that he didn't have any interests to take his mind off of his pain. I tried to bring more of his interests out, but soon realized that it was his choice to stay in pain and let pain rule his life. At that moment, I knew I could not allow pain to drive mine. Adaptation is key in living with any illness. I'm open to connecting with those who may also wish to have more Joy and Pleasure in their lives by using art. My choice is through photography. I hope it's yours too, or soon to be.

"As I age, it gets harder and harder for me to hoist a loaded pack on my back for miles of hiking. I think this would most likely be the case for others in their 60's, especially those like me who are recovering from an illness. The first 3 hours of the above 6 hour day trip in Yosemite NP went well, however my feet were killing me in my hiking boots for the last 3 hours. I wished I had packed a pair of slippers for my 3.5 hour bus ride from Yosemite back to Fresno, CA. (LOL) Earlier that day, I captured one of the best photos I can remember taking, despite the Summer crowds! It's called, "Get Lost in Yosemite", and it's placed in my Gallery. The moral of this story is, Never Give Up on Yourself and don't over pack! "

I look forward to seeing what you create.
