ature Photography plays an important role in the health of the human spirit. On the walls of our urban habitats, photographs and paintings become passages to the natural world. These images conjure up dreams of a journey to a pristine mountain stream, a walk beneath the mystical giants of an ancient forest, and a brief glimpse of a wild creature close enough to touch.

Nancy J. Smith, a native Oregonian, grew up camping, hiking, and fishing with her family. This exposure to nature instilled in her the awareness of and appreciation for such beauty. Smith’s attention to detail and creativity in composition bring to life images of nature and wildlife on film. Her passion for sharing this appreciation of nature inspires her to create stunning products such as The Majestic Pacific Northwest 2012 calendar, which is now in its 20th year! The 2005 calendar received the National Merit Award in the Best Scenic/Other Photography category at the 2005 National Calendar Awards Competition.

Smith’s award-winning photography has graced the walls of homes and offices throughout the country. Her vivid, full-color images are shot under natural light, on film, without the use of color filters or gels. She feels nature is supremely beautiful in its purest state.

Concern for the preservation of the environment inspires her to donate a portion of the proceeds from her products to organizations involved in preserving ecosystems, environmental education, and wildlife rehabilitation. Nancy J. Smith urges you to do the same.
