Mae Edwards Photography

Hi, I'm Mae

Ever since I first held a camera, I’ve been captivated by the way a single frame can freeze a fleeting moment. Photography, for me, is more than just a hobby—it’s a way of seeing the world. Through the lens, ordinary scenes transform into stories, emotions, and memories I might otherwise forget.

I love how photography demands both patience and spontaneity. It teaches me to slow down, to notice the subtle shifts in light or the expression on someone’s face just before they smile. Whether I’m wandering through a city or hiking through nature, my camera is an extension of how I connect with the world around me.

My Personal Favorites

My Top Three Favorite National Parks

Grand Canyon National Park

To be in such a wonder is breathtaking. There are so many angles and directions to make memorable photos.

Bryce National Park

Bryce was on my bucket list for so long and to see it in person was such a treat.

Zion NP

This park was beautiful. Though we could not drive around it was worth the trip to hike around and see the beautiful colors God created.

What Photography Means To Me

Photography changed my life

While many things have shaped me into the person I am today, I believe that photography has taught me many lessons.

One such lesson is to catch the moment of time because it will change in an instant.

I saw these flags, in front of the George Bush Library, all flying at one time. I took the picture then ventured to another spot. When I returned to this spot the wind had died and all the flags were totally lifeless.

This says a lot about life. One just doesn't know when things will change, so capture the moment when you can.

My favorite Photo

Because I can't really choose one photo as my all time favorite I just want to share one photo that means a lot to me.

I was in the USAF and one of my favorite moments in the Air Force was when I went up in a KC135 to refuel a B52 over the Pacific while stationed on Guam.

I got to fly the KC135 for about 30 minutes. What a rush to have control of this plane.

My Camera

I love my camera deeply—not just as a tool, but as a constant companion in my journey through life.

It's been with me across continents, capturing moments both grand and intimate, giving me the power to freeze time and tell stories through light and perspective. From quiet alleys in old towns to sweeping mountain vistas, it has helped me see the world more clearly and express the way I feel about it.
