Terra C. Lightsmith
 Professional Photographer
Originally from Illinois, Terra graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in Biology and Fine Arts. Colorado fueled her love for the outdoors as well as her desire to capture those incredible natural moments on film.
Since then she has spent extensive time in Alaska capturing (with the help of Talkeetna Aero Services and Fly Denali) Denali National Park's amazing mountains with special attention to the great Mt. McKinley (the highest peak in North America also known as Denali "the high or great one").
Currently the head of NANPA's Resource Relations Committee, she continues to involve herself in the photographic and nature community.
Her photography can be seen in the book “Wings Over Denali: A Photographic History of Aviation in Denali National Park” as well as in the grand Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, and Talkeetna Aero Services. Her portfolio continues to expand as she continues to travel the world in search of those breathtaking moments.
“I’m not just trying to capture an image but bring it to life by evoking the same kind of emotions that I felt while watching that soft lighted sunrise or moody afternoon thunderstorm.”
