Lassen Peak Photography by jerri lee

Jerri Lee specializes in nature photography, and she loves photographing people enjoying life in the high country. You can usually find her hiking with a camera slung over a hip in the meadows, mountains, and valleys around Mt. Lassen.

She was born an artist. Her depth of knowledge about storytelling and movement grew out of her training in classical ballet, jazz, modern dance, and character dances from around the world. You can also feel the inspiration she gained from her study of the greats outside of photography: writers, painters, sculptors, and musicians.

This background provides a unique perspective when Jerri Lee composes and finishes her art. Her work is never static and it always tells a story.

After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Business Administration from the University of Utah, she continues to be a perpetual student of all related, and unrelated, subject matters.

Jerri Lee is a Certified Professional Photographer by the Professional Photographers of America. She is a member of Plumas Arts, the Feather River Fine Arts Association, and Professional Photographers of America. She won several People's Choice awards in 2016 for her photography from the Feather River College's Ansel Adams Photography Contest. In addition, two of her photographs were accepted by the Professional Photographers of America association into their General Loan Collection in 2016 and 2017. She is a certified Project Management Professional; she is currently working on her Stanford Certificate in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, along with expecting to complete the requirements for becoming a Certified Professional Photographer with PPA in 2018.
