Quick history of "Jumping Pictures"

Jumping pictures were introduced to us less than a year ago by my friend Nicole and her fiance Kyle. Nicole and Kyle took an incredible road trip last year through the NW and had amazing pictures of the two of them jumping in beautiful scenic places. We were inspired! Our first attempt at jumping pictures was last fall on a 2 night backpacking trip through the Enchantment Lakes area outside of Leavenworth -- we didn't get any pictures of the two of us in the air, all of our pictures were of us squatting. A few weeks later, we took a day hike with Nicole and Kyle and they shared their secrets (it is all about knowing the timer on your camera, the camera angle, and lifting your feet as high as possible so it looks like you can jump high). Since then, we've been addicted -- and it is so much fun!

We hope that our pictures inspire you to try taking some jumping pictures of your own -- send them to us by email if you get the chance: kessler.konrad@gmail.com, stacymkessler@gmail.com

One of our many failed, yet funny attempts
