In the Sol Duc Valley

from $34.00

The Sol Duc Valley in Olympic National Park makes everything feel oversized and ancient. When you walk through that forest, the moss is so thick it swallows up the sound of your footsteps, and the canopy is so dense that the summer afternoon heat barely manages to poke through in little golden slivers. We headed out to Sol Duc Falls on what felt like a monumental day for our family. The hike itself is straightforward and easy, but it was one of the first times we took our three month old daughter out into the wild.

I remember the weight of her as I carried her down the trail and the way her eyes were wide, taking in the passing trees and the filtered light. By the time we reached the falls, the sound of the water was a constant roar. I set up my gear to capture the way the river splits into those iconic three channels, crashing down into the narrow slot canyon below. Watching her react to that sound of rushing water while I worked on this image is a memory that is going to last forever. It wasn't just about getting the shot that day. it was about introducing her to the places that mean the most to me.

The forest there is a vibrant, electric green that almost looks painted. I wanted to capture that lushness along with the power of the falls to show just how much life is packed into that valley. Every time I look at this photo, I’m right back on that trail, feeling the cool mist and remembering those first few miles of her life spent under the hemlocks and firs.

This photograph is perfect for anyone who truly appreciates time spent in nature and the way the wilderness can anchor a family’s history. If you are building a gallery that celebrates the Pacific Northwest or the raw beauty of our National Parks, In the Sol Duc Valley serves as a stunning centerpiece. Because of its deep, soothing greens and the dynamic movement of the water, it brings a sense of life and growth into any room. It is a great choice for a nursery or a living space where you want to highlight the importance of the Great Outdoors and the lasting memories made on the trail.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
