Emily Lester Photography

My name is Emily Lester, and I am an aspiring adventure photographer. I dream of beautiful light, mountains, rivers, sounds of nature, biking, hiking, and camping. Hopefully, people will feel inspired to go on a hike, bike ride or walk to experience the wonders of the world after viewing my photos. There's always something to explore or discover even if it is in your own backyard. Happy Trails! Contact me through my website for prints. www.emilylesterphotography.com

It was a beautiful, fall day to be in Shenandoah National Park! I believe this is park 26 of 59 for me! Love seeing the lands that have been preserved for us! • • #virginia #shenandoahnationalpark #shenandoah #nationalparks #nationalpark #nps100 #nooga #noogagram #onlytennisee #tennessee #tenn #instagramtennessee #thelandmarkproject #letscamp #pointpark #pnw #nashvilleexplorersclub #mylandmark #moretoexplore #outdoors #optoutside #adventure #adventures #adventuretime #explore #getoutside #sunset #sunshine #rei1440project #rei #camp #mountains (at Shenandoah National Park)

This house is unbelievable and it's my Air Bnb for the weekend. I can't get over the lap pool and sweet pup, Dylan, in the corner. • • #virginia #charlottesville #houses #pool #dog #dogsofinsta #dog #keswick #vaisforlovers #outdoors #airbnb #photography #wedding #southernbelle #home #betterhomesandgardens #gardenandgun (at Keswick, Virginia)

To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. - John Muir • • • (at Seward Highway)

It's #alaskaday !! Russia transferred Alaska to the United States on this day in 1867. I'm sure glad they did and that I've gotten to experience such an amazing place. • • • (at Portage Glacier)

Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.

Wow, I've been waiting for fall to get here and I think I may have found it today. • • • (at Chattahoochee National Forest)

Camping across the Turnagain Arm in Hope, AK, is one of my favorite memories from the summer. Just across the water you see car lights driving down the Seward Highway while these folks enjoy a campfire. It felt like a whole different world in Hope and I would definitely go back to experience it again. • • • (at Hope, Alaska)

The locals told me the fireweed tells you how far along Alaska is with their summer. This was taken on July 22. • • • (at Wolverine Peak)

Oh hey Alaska, I see your leaves are changing orange and yellow through my friend's Instagram feeds. I'll have to remember you for your green, lush mountainsides for now until I can see you in a different season. Happy fall, y'all. • • • (at Anchorage, Alaska)

I love this place. • • • #chattanooga #chattanooga_fun #chatt #nooga #noogagram #onlytennisee #tennessee #tenn #instagramtennessee #thelandmarkproject #letscamp #snoopersrock #pnw #nashvilleexplorersclub #mylandmark #moretoexplore #outdoors #optoutside #adventure #adventures #adventuretime #explore #getoutside #sunset #sunshine #rei1440project #rei #camp #sky (at Snoopers Rock)

This mysterious, white cabin across the river near Denali National Park peaked my interest as we drove by. I scoured the river banks looking for a way to get to it but alas, I had to settle for a glimpse of it across the river. It's still beautiful from afar. • • • Alaska \\ Summer 2016 (at Denali National Park and Preserve)

After the heavy rains tonight the sunlight was almost tangible coming through the trees and the fog. • • • #chattanooga #chattanooga_fun #chatt #nooga #noogagram #onlytennisee #tennessee #tenn #instagramtennessee #thelandmarkproject #letscamp #pointpark #pnw #nashvilleexplorersclub #mylandmark #moretoexplore #outdoors #optoutside #adventure #adventures #adventuretime #explore #getoutside #sunset #sunshine #rei1440project #rei #camp #nature (at Chattanooga, Tennessee)
