Growing up the majority of our family vacations were cruises, typically to Caribbean locations, so when my husband was set to work on a ship that was headed through the Panama Canal, I knew I wanted to go.

The day we spent traveling through the locks of the old Panama Canal was incredible. We were able to see the crews working on the new set of locks a year before it opened.

Traveling through the Panama Canal made me feel very tiny and ginormous at the same time. Nearing the walls and scoping out the workers made the half day excursion worth it. [01]

Sharing photos has always kinda felt like a secret and listing these was no different.

Photography has been a way for me to express myself and take in how I see things. I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was little and my first job was in a dark room. 

Minting these was nerve racking, but I’m happy to share my views.


don’t look down
When they said you’re gonna get close to the wall, they meant it. [02]

Traveling through the Panana Canal seemed like a once in a lifetime thing (cause I’m not sure two weeks on water is for me haha)

This trio embarks us into LIFE VIEWS – my 1/1 photography contract. 

Excitedly nervous to share the next ones.


tugging through 
Watching crew assist the ship through the dams was extraordinary. During the passage I ran up and down the stairs to see up-close how they made it work. Train tugs run along tracks nearest the ship. [03]
