Her work reflects a keen eye for storytelling, whether it’s the quiet grace of a burrowing owl greeting the morning sun, the fleeting moment of a snow goose taking flight at sunrise, or the unexpected transformation of the desert after a rare snowfall. Paulette’s photography is more than just images, it’s an invitation to see the world with wonder, patience, and a newfound appreciation for the delicate balance of nature.
