Shellayne Henson

I have been a stay at home mom, homeschooling mom, pastors wife for twenty years. Now that my three daughters are mostly grown and one has flown, I have taken my love for landscape, and painting into business.

It is hard I’m not gonna lie, I don’t lack the confidence that I can do the work, but I do lack understanding on how modern media really works.

Painting allows me the ability to not think. I am an over thinker, when I paint I stop thinking and meditate on the things of God, his handiwork, who he is. 

The love he shows us in the details. 

Sincerely, Shellayne
Psalm 19:1

Leslie Baars is a nature photographer who specializes in landscapes, flora, and fauna of Long Island, NY.

I feel a great connection to God through the natural world and enjoy sharing what I see.

It's great fun to get outdoors, take a walk, explore new places, and find
treasures to photograph
throughout the year.

I hope that I inspire others to look around and notice all the beauty that nature has to offer.

I also dabble in AI and I have a few of those pictures on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leslie.baars93

No credited needed but I took these today and just the prettiness of fall amazes me. All the details in God’s creations ❤️

note from the photographer: our goal is to get out to the Rocky Mountains, in which we love and call home, enjoy God's beauty, and try to share that with our little camera phones.
