Faith On Every Corner - September 2020

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. -Psalm 42:1

BY DONNA KAICH GARRETT

Donna began her love for photography back in the 1990s, but as a full-time Realtor found it difficult to pursue her passion. It wasn’t until the summer of 2018, while on a two-week camping trip to Olympic National Park, that she had the time to learn the craft. Pam Atkins, an amazing photographer and friend, graciously and patiently began the journey of accompanying Donna and teaching her all about the camera settings and the eye of the photographer.

Donna loves to be outside and is a nature lover at heart, so naturally, she is drawn to photographing everything outdoors. Among her favorites are landscape photography and reflections. What she has found most rewarding is the time it allows her to get out and see God’s glory in all that is around us from wildlife reserves, wetlands, and national parks to learn about the birds and animals that live there; she finds memorizing all their names challenging. As a Realtor, she understood the need for professional photography, which led to her learning the techniques of Real Estate photography. Many fellow Realtors call upon her to take photos of their listings to help promote them for sale. Donna is happily married to her David, her husband of 23 years, and has 4 children and 2 grandchildren.
