From the vibrant landscapes of Grand Lake to the intricate details of architecture, I have been fortunate to witness and capture the world in ways that celebrate both the grandeur of nature and the subtleties of human connection. With a lifelong passion for the outdoors and a growing eye for the artistic elements of life, I specialize in various types of photography that highlight the natural beauty of the world and the personalities of those within it. My Journey: From Adventure to Art Throughout my younger years, I immersed myself in outdoor activities such as off-road motorcycling, hang gliding, and boating on California’s Monterey Bay. Initially, I saw myself as an adventurer, someone focused on the thrill of the outdoors, rather than an artist. However, as I grew older, I started noticing the light, shapes, and patterns that others around me seemed to overlook. This new awareness led me to discover a passion for photography that I never anticipated. When I moved to Oklahoma and settled on the shores of Grand Lake, I gained the perfect environment for my newfound passion. With 60 miles of pristine freshwater at my doorstep, I regularly took my camera outdoors, capturing nature and wildlife in its endless variety. From that point on, nature and wildlife photography became my calling. Expanding My Lens: People, Homes, and Commercial Photography As I honed my skills, I also discovered the joy of capturing the essence of people. My background in counseling gave me a unique perspective on understanding personalities, allowing me to capture individuals in authentic, expressive ways. This skill set naturally evolved into capturing the beauty of homes and businesses through architectural and real estate photography. In addition to personal portraits and properties, I began to explore telling compelling stories through photos. One of my most beloved projects was The Secret Life of the Grand Lake Pelican, which gained popularity as a photo book. This led to the creation of another book, Jerry Ann’s Place, along with various photo collections paired with music and transitions, creating video-like productions that have been featured on local and national television. Photography Services Today, my work encompasses a variety of photography services, each designed to bring your story, business, or personal moments to life: Nature and Wildlife Photography: Capturing the breathtaking beauty of the outdoors, with prints available in canvas, metal, and ceramic. Architectural & Real Estate Photography: Showcasing homes and businesses with professional photography for listings, brochures, and more. Business Photography: Product shots, photo tours, and website images to bring your business to life. Photo Books: Creating stunning custom photo books that tell your unique story. Video/Proshow Presentations: Combining photography with music and motion to create immersive storytelling. Event Photography: Documenting your special events, from weddings to receptions. Seniors: Capturing your senior’s personality with thoughtful and artistic portraits. Drone Photography and Videography: Taking your photography to new heights with breathtaking aerial shots. Living in Grand Lake of the Cherokees has inspired me to share the natural beauty of this freshwater paradise with others. My photography now graces local and national television, magazines, and newspapers across the country. Through my lens, I aim to communicate the beauty of the world around us. Let me bring your vision to life with professional, artistic, and meaningful photography. Contact me today to schedule a session or learn more about my services! [read more]

Will Rogers Memorial Rodeo in Vinita, OK, is the premier rodeo event held in the Southwest! This is a four-day event that is kicked off by the Annual Will Rogers Memorial Rodeo Parade on RT 66 in downtown Vinita. Every night of the rodeo is filled with action packed events from Girl's Barrel Racing, Bare Back Bronc Riding, Steer Roping, Bull Riding & Team Roping, and much much more!! Bring the family and enjoy an amazing night at the Will Rogers Memorial Rodeo in Vinita, OK. Our History Will Rogers was born in 1879, at a ranch house on the Verdigris River. The only towns that existed nearby were Vinita, Indian Territory (which later became Oklahoma), and Coffeyville, Kansas. After his mother died in 1890, Will was sent to several schools away from the ranch, but the one he grew to like the most was Willie Halsell College located in Vinita. He attended three terms from 1892, until 1895, and he never forgot the happy days he spent there or the friends he made. Years later, while attending a school reunion in 1934, Will Rogers told the Vinita folks, "Have a rodeo here next year and I'll come back." He returned that fall for the old-timer's parade, but on August 15, 1935, just days before the rodeo, Will Rogers and famed pilot Wiley Post were both tragically killed in a plane crash. It was decided that the Vinita rodeo would be held as a memorial to Vinita's cherished "son" Will Rogers, and it has been every year since. The Will Rogers Memorial Rodeo has become one of the most outstanding rodeos in the entire southwest. [read more]

Nestled along the scenic shores of Grand Lake—just an angler's cast away from the historic Pensacola Dam—the Grand River Dam Authority’s (GRDA) Ecosystems and Education Center stands as a testament to the authority's commitment to environmental stewardship and education. This state-of-the-art facility plays a crucial role in GRDA’s ongoing efforts to manage and protect the natural resources under its care. Extensive Natural Resources The GRDA oversees nearly 70,000 acres of lake water surface in Oklahoma, encompassing the vast expanses of Grand Lake, Lake Hudson, and the W.R. Holway Reservoir. Since 2016, its stewardship has also extended to the picturesque waters of the Illinois River. This extensive area is not only vital for recreational activities but also serves as an important habitat for various wildlife species. Advanced Water Quality Laboratory At the heart of the Ecosystems and Education Center is a state-of-the-art water quality laboratory. Here, GRDA's dedicated team members engage in ongoing water quality monitoring, ensuring the health and sustainability of the water resources. Regular testing and analysis enable the GRDA to maintain high standards of water quality, safeguarding both recreational users and the ecosystem. A One-Stop Resource for Lake Area Needs Beyond the laboratory, the Ecosystems and Education Center serves as a “one-stop permit shopping” location for lake area residents and visitors. Whether you are preparing to build a dock, an angler looking to schedule a tournament, or someone seeking lake-related permits for Grand Lake or Lake Hudson, the center offers the resources and assistance you need to navigate the permitting process smoothly. Community Engagement and Education One of the most significant features of the Ecosystems and Education Center is the Grand Hall, a spacious auditorium and community meeting area available for rental. This versatile space offers stunning views of Grand Lake and Pensacola Dam, making it an ideal venue for events and gatherings. Throughout much of the year, the Grand Hall also functions as a classroom for student groups. Here, learners engage in educational programs focused on various topics, including: Ecosystem Management: Understanding the delicate balance of local ecosystems. Hydroelectric Power: Exploring how the GRDA harnesses water power to generate electricity. Water and Electric Safety: Learning essential safety practices for interacting with water and electrical systems. History of the Grand River Region: Delving into the rich history and cultural significance of the area. The Grand River Dam Authority’s Ecosystems and Education Center is more than just a facility; it is a vital resource for the community, promoting education, sustainability, and responsible stewardship of Oklahoma’s natural resources. Whether you are a local resident, a visitor to the area, or a student eager to learn, the center offers invaluable services and knowledge to enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the beautiful Grand Lake region.
