White Sands National Park

White Sands National Park Photography – December 2024 Gallery

In December 2024, I returned to one of my favorite places on earth—White Sands National Park—and experienced it like never before. While I've visited these iconic gypsum dunes many times over the past decade, this trip was something truly unforgettable.

i arrived early to capture the first light over the desert, when the sun gently spills across the rolling white sand. The silence, the solitude, and the golden glow created a magical atmosphere that’s nearly impossible to describe—but I did my best to capture it through the lens (while also having some fun too!)

This gallery is a collection of fine art landscape photography that showcases the surreal beauty, textures, and tones of White Sands at sunrise. From soft shadows dancing along the ridges to the crisp contrasts of wind-swept patterns, every image tells a story of light and time.

Whether you're here for inspiration, to explore the American Southwest through our photography, or to collect a print for your home, I invite you to experience White Sands National Park in winter—a season of calm, clarity, and quiet renewal.
