De-Jay Hanssen Photography

Happy Monday!!! I know this is a little late but I have been traveling, and just got back from a week in Hawaii working with @oahuphototours again. It is always nice to hear back and see where I used to live and catch up with old friends! This shot is of the Strawberry Moon that just passed, 1 a.m. with the awesome @nvflipflop !!! 400mm @canonusa lens coming in clutch right here! Did you guys get any shots of it? . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld #teamcanon #reno #hawaii #waikiki #travel #vacation #night #strawberrymoon #photooftheday #fyp #photography #print #moon https://www.instagram.com/p/CRO8qK8h1Oz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good Father’s Day! I wanted to share this sunset shot of the Grand Canyon with you. The haze and dust being kicked up by the wind was a challenge, so I underexposed to catch the orb of the sun and the gradient of lighting between the closest ridges and the furthest away. Sunrises and sunsets are always a gamble and that is part of the fun for me. I hope you enjoy and my new website will be launched soon! With an online store for prints, books and much more! Stay tuned, and thank you for your support! This image is available in many sizes such as 11x17 which is $35 and delivered straight to you! . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld @canonusa #teamcanon #grandcanyon @grandcanyonnps #sunset #phototour #travel #print #photooftheday #landscapes #hiking #mountains #bigsky #mood #warm #art #photography https://www.instagram.com/p/CQY9ZBcprk2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Monday!!! It has been a fun week for me! Got to go shooting all day yesterday including a “Save the Date” shoot! Knocked out a bunch of orders and now I want to share this shot of the Grand Canyon with you! I spent hours there, moving from spot to spot. I found this location at our last stop for the sunset and I found myself continuing to go back here again and again. I love the lines, textures, and gradient in the sky, it is just so amazing there. I hope you enjoy! . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld @canonusa #teamcanon #grandcanyon @grandcanyonnps #sunset #mountains #canyons #river #travel #prints #sale #photography #photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHHPhPhg3p/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Monday!!! I wanted to share a shot from my first ever photo tour I led back here on the mainland! I tell you what, you see pictures of it, see it in movies and TV shows, but the Grand Canyon is absolutely mind blowing. No matter how many times you look upon the landscape it just seems to get even more vast. If you have not been, you HAVE to go! I am offering all inclusive photo tours around the US (for now, international later). If you want to go on a photo tour somewhere, let me know where and the dates and I work out a price with you and book everything for you including flights, lodging, and rental cars. Let’s go! I am working on a brand new website that will have an online shop for prints and books as well as a calendar to book shoots, classes and much more! . . . . . #dejaymeetsworld #dejayhanssenphotography @canonusa #teamcanon #grandcanyon #travel #arizona #desert #prints #nature #vacation #phototour #photooftheday #sunset #booking #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CP1X6sCh9rC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Monday! Today is a day to remember those who have fallen in service of this great country. However you need to do it, do it the best way to honor them properly. I hope you all have a safe Monday. I spent this last weekend in L.A. and San Diego, just shooting anything that looked good. This location was one that I found that I REALLY wanted to get, and we found it!!! I stood there for over 3 hours waiting for the lighting to be just right, taking pictures for other people of themselves and even an adorable little doggo! (Ask me and I’ll show you!) I enjoyed the experience of the big city quite a bit from a photographic stand point, and I am glad I was able to see all I did. This image is available for $35 in 11x17 mailed straight to your door. I have other sizes and printing mediums available upon request, just let me know! . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld @canonusa #teamcanon #city #la @charlidamelio @charlyjordan #print #travel #night #longexposure #cityscape #vacation #photooftheday #fyp #california https://www.instagram.com/p/CPjFJBcByLl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Monday! Zion National Park is a must do for anyone who has even thought about it. There are plenty of places to stay near as well. You are surrounded on all sides by breathtaking mountains that climb to the sky all around you in a never ending tapestry of textures and colors. I chose this image to share with you because I enjoyed the shadows on the mountains and the road flowing through as well. I hope you enjoy, and have an awesome week! If you want this print Incan have it sent to you directly for $35 in a size of 11x17. I have many others size and print options available as well! . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld @canonusa #teamcanon #zion #nationalpark #mountains #travel #print #photooftheday #landscape #print https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_Uum8hQl-/?igshid=1enmmrxgqa6ru

Happy Monday everyone!!! This...this shot has been on my bucket list for over 10 years now. This is Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona. I just returned from my first mainland photography shoot, where I took my clients to Zion and Grand Canyon. The sites that we saw, the things we learned, and the laughs we shared is something that I will never forget. I can’t tell you how many times I would see this shot from other photographers and would plan on exactly where to stand. Luckily for me @_evharris and @beyond_the_bucketlist made room for me to share this view with. I truly hope you all enjoy this shot. Remember, like this photo and tag 3 people that you think would enjoy it to be entered to win a free print of your choice mailed straight to you! You can have this print sent to you starting at $35, available in many sizes and printed formats, including metallic!

Happy Monday!!! How is everyone doing? I hope you are on top of the world and kicking butt! I got a nice shot of this beautiful hawk flying in circles hunting some field mice in Northern California and stood around whispering to it to cooperate with me. I had my new @canonusa 400mm lens to get this with and I took about 100 shots to be happy with this one. I hope you enjoy! If you are interested in this photo, I can send you a print in 11x17 size for $35, and I have many other sizes to choose from, let me know! Next week is a giveaway week as well so get ready for that! . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld #teamcanon #wildlife #hawk #zoom #flying #california #sky #travel #prints #vacation #photooftheday #natgeo @natgeo https://www.instagram.com/p/CObPMZ2hb2Q/?igshid=1cr2tx2aua6sz

Happy Monday! I apologize for the last few weeks, I have had some personal stuff to deal with, but we should be back on track now! I wanted to share this shot with you all of the Deschutes River near Bend Oregon. I wanted to shoot this river from the moment I saw a painting in my buddies house, so I set out on the adventure. I drove and wondered for about an hour before finding a nice angle for this section. A few locals walked by and said “follow us” and I figure I am too big to be kidnapped so I did. They took me down to the river and just stood there appreciating the view and the sound. I took this with a longer exposure to smooth the water but there is not edit to the color of the water, it was that beautiful shade of green. I hope you all enjoy and I will see you next week! You can get this print mailed directly to your house in the size of 11x17 for $35. Other sizes are available as well as prints on metal! Message me to place your order. . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld @canonusa #teamcanon #oregon #river #deschutesriver #bendoregon #nature #travel #prints #sale #landscape #longexposure #vacation #hiking #photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2pPEEBtw_/?igshid=jv06o9w9ofbz

Happy Monday!!! The drive over the pass in the way to Oregon was a slow one due to the weather. The whole ridge line was covered in snow, mist, and trees enjoying the little bit of warmth from the sun. After crossing the road I already had a frame that I in my mind of how I wanted it set up. As soon as I took the whole view in, there is a larger panorama I took as well, I couldn’t help but just stare. Every time I find a place like this, one that makes me stop and really take it in, it reminds me why I do what I do. Why I wanted to start my own business. These views will never get old, they will never lose the hold they have over me. I am glad I get to share this with you all, and thank you for your support and love! You, every single person reading this, are awesome! You can get this print (without 3D of course lol) in 11x17 print for $35 including shipping and handling. If you buy any three prints you will get one free! I have many different size and mediums available, just ask! I am getting my site up and running and will be ready to go soon! . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld @canonusa #teamcanon #california #nevada #oregon #travel #print #landscape #snow #trees @renogazettejournal #photooftheday #photography #roadtrip #vacation https://www.instagram.com/p/CNBBpOlBxrG/?igshid=3nfq0bn13io5

Happy Monday!!! My first edit from my trip to Bend, Oregon. I went up to dog and house sit for a friend of mine so that he could take a much needed vacation. He gave me a list of some awesome places to take photos of. So with that knowledge and with some help from the local population I was lead to this magical spot, at Smith Rock. Margo, your son Cody introduced me to Trevor, a local photographer and just all around good people. We met up, talked story and took a ton of photos. I took about a hundred or so photos here, changing my bracket values, focus points, and shutter speeds until I found a good blend of lighting to make the image you see here. There is a guy hanging from the cliff as well if you look really hard at the full resolution print! What places would you tell me to shoot in your area? See you next week! You can buy this print starting at $35 for a size of 11x17. You can also buy any three images and get a fourth free! . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld @canonusa #teamcanon @natgeo #smithrock #oregon #bend #pnw #landscaoe #sunset #cliffs #sky #clouds #hdr #river #travel #prints #sale #photooftheday #travelphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/CMusJZUh1SY/?igshid=1emtfeb982qmc

Happy Monday!!! A little different today than my normal landscapes! I was in Bend Oregon the last few days getting reacquainted with the west coast. I gotta tell you...I missed it. I loved everything about Hawaii but there are so many things here I was an able to shoot when I was younger, that I can now. As I drove through the Nevada California border I saw this mating pair of Bald Eagles, and was able to grab a shot of this one flying back after looking for field mice. I waited patiently for a long time, but boy it was worth it. I love my new 400mm lens from @canonusa , makes this much easier! I am selling this print in 11x17 if you are interested for $35! I still am doing the buy three get one free deal as well! . . . . . #dejaymeetsworld #dejayhanssenphotography #teamcanon #eagle #merica #birds #avian #wildlife #nature #nevada #california #oregon #bend #renogazettejournal #prints #sale #photooftheday @natgeoyourshot @natgeo @natgeotravel @natgeoadventure https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcmsvuhdjb/?igshid=1wubnw7i0m6io

Happy Monday!!! I hope you had an awesome week and either completed or got one step closer to accomplishing your goals. I have been going to barrel races, making new friends, seeing old ones, making new clients and coming up with new ideas to share with all of you. I really can't explain to you all how much it means to me that you are following me along for this journey. I really hit the ground running and I am loving every second of it. The image I am sharing today is of a beautiful Sakura tree I was told about in Hawai'i. There are not many of them and it is one of my favorite trees in the world. I got a text saying that it is blooming and I put my lunch away and ran out of my house to go and get it. If you know where this is, then you know it is a hidden secret in plain site! As I was setting up and taking pictures, people would stop walking and look up at the tree, that they walk by every day, and shoot my angle. They would look at their phone afterwards, smile a bit and look at me and nod, thanking me for showing them the angle. What is your favorite location that you like to shoot that others may walk by and not even notice? You can order this print as a 11x17 for $35 shipped directly to your door. I can do metal and acrylic prints as well. you can still buy three and get a fourth for free. Also, I have 10 of my coffee table photo books left, once these last ones are sold I will be offering a similar book but with no personalizing, limited number or signature to it and will start working on the next book. Let me know if you are interested while the "Founder's Edition" is still available. . . . . . #dejaymeetsworld #dejayhanssenphotography @canonusa #teamcanon #hawaii #tree #sakura #cherryblossom #nature #colors #luckywelivehawaii #sky #travel #prints #sale #photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CMK6dwLBRtF/?igshid=n81zgehwsdbp

Happy Monday!!! Woohoo!!! Swipe to see the full image! My first weekend back in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains were full of adventure and learning, and less full of oxygen. I have lived in Hawai’i for ten years, so being around 7k feet at 25 degrees is two things I have not been at in a decade. But. So, so worth it. This is 6 shots taken with my Canon 16-35 and out together in this pano with Thompson’s Peak in the back right. I look forward to exploring more and taking more pictures to share with you! If you are interested in thus image to have as a print please message me, it is a special size. A big thank you to Nicholas and Lucas for helping and Mafucxn for a big hand. Thank you all again for all of your support! I only have a few books left before the “Founder’s Edition” is gone forever, let me know if you are interested. . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld @canonusa #teamcanon #nevada #sierranevada @renogazettejournal @kolo8newsnow @ktvn_reno #mountains #nightsky #stars #panorama #hiking #prints #sale #photooftheday #janesville #susanville #reno #californiaadventure https://www.instagram.com/p/CL4yytcBYkV/?igshid=1it2rwtz14n2h

Happy Monday!!! A beautiful calm day out on the river, not a sound, and just a hint of a chill. Perfect. The water was so calm I could see the fish swimming about, going on with their lives. This is truly a different beauty than Hawai’i is, but a beauty I can’t wait to share with you all as much as I did the islands. I have some unique and hard to get shots coming up soon! I still have a few of my photo books as well so let me know if you are interested! You can have this shot in 11x17 for $35, or buy any three prints and get a fourth for free!

Happy Monday / President’s Day! A My first Monday of being fully settled in back home in Nevada I captured this image in Virginia City, Nevada, and it is a shot I have wanted since I was very young. I went to this church for years with my parents growing up, we would go to mass, then walk the Main Street of “VC” and get a hot dog and sarsaparilla. It was something I looked forward too always, I love that old town, the boardwalk sidewalks, old rock and leather shops, truly historic. But this church, always sat there quietly in the middle of town, just a silent monument of architectural achievement. What is your favorite building of where you live? . . . . . #dejayhanssenphotography #dejaymeetsworld #nevada #virginiacity #historic @canonusa #teamcanon #church #stars #nighttime #photooftheday #building #architecture #prints #sale https://www.instagram.com/p/CLUg0l9Batp/?igshid=q37j6za5toa
