Jen Ritchie is a wildlife and portrait photographer based in West Lafayette, Indiana.
She fell in love with the Rocky Mountains at 19 and has been traveling from the Midwest to the Mountain West for the last 30 years. Buying her first Canon DSLR in 2017, she developed a passion for capturing wild creatures and spaces, specifically Grand Teton National Park, Alaska, Banff, Colorado, and Indiana. Enamored with its grandeur, Jen has been traveling to the Tetons for the past 7 years to photograph its magnificent landscapes and wide-ranging wildlife in spring, fall, and winter, and she will lead her first workshops there this October. Her work has been featured in Orion Magazine, Magic in the Tetons, Wyoming Wildlife, local publications, and online hubs. Jen hosts wildlife photographers from around the world on her podcast, Wildlife Conversations.
