Presenting Speakers

Erica Harvey (https://www.ericalanephotography.com/)

Living in the Black Hills, I've discovered my haven for recharging amidst nature's quietude. Hiking through its serene trails and encountering wildlife has become my way of finding inner peace. It's a stroke of luck to have the privilege of calling this region home, with its wealth of national parks just a day's drive away. Amidst my various passions, my primary goal is to ignite the travel bug in others and foster a sense of environmental responsibility. Through my photography lens, I aim to capture the allure of travel and the raw beauty of nature, hoping to awaken a shared commitment to preserving our planet.

Chris Duncan (https://cjduncan.com/)

At C j Duncan, we thrive at getting to know you , creating a relaxing (and fun)  photographic experience and then turning that imagery into art for your home, office and to share with others.  For almost twenty years, we have captured people in a way that shows their true essence and brings smiles to all. Cris and Deanna are both Master Photographers and Certified Professional Photographers. The Duncans are sought after educators and leaders in the photographic industry and when not photographing our wonderful clients, they can be found hiking, cooking and serving on various boards and charities.
