Every photograph begins with a moment worth remembering.

Welcome to Rissa’s Photo Journal — a living collection of 1,649 moments, moods, and the little adventures that shape my days.

Many entries begin here in Colorado, where mountain light, snowy trails, and wide-open skies often become the backdrop for my photos. But the journal wanders beyond the Rockies too — from spontaneous road trips and everyday moments to the occasional playful cosplay or creative shoot.

Think of this space as a visual diary — a place where memories, creativity, and a bit of mountain magic come together, one photo set at a time.

Oct 28, 2026Somewhere between the golden grass, the mountain air, and the sound of wings overhead… I remembered how good it feels to simply be still for a while. 🍂💜 Colorado has a way of doing that to me. Thanks for being here ✨ —L

Oct 27, 2026Up early catching the light of a beautiful sunrise. Do you like sunrises or sunsets better? I love both but I like the feeling of a fresh start that sunrises bring and the anticipation for what the new day holds. Have a wonderful Tuesday. 😘🥰🤗💜
