Capturing the world off the beaten path

Hello, I'm Debbi

About Me – Debbi | Back Roads Lens

Welcome to Back Roads Lens

Hi, I’m Debbi, the photographer and writer behind Back Roads Lens. This blog is where I share my love for travel photography, road trips, and hidden places. I capture small towns, quiet roads, and natural landscapes—the moments many people miss.

My Story With Photography

I fell in love with photography as a child. On family trips, I was the one behind the camera. I wanted to capture every detail. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong passion.

Why I Travel the Back Roads

The best stories are often found off the main highways. Back roads, rural towns, and wide-open spaces invite us to slow down. These places show us what really matters. With my camera, I share those moments and help others see their beauty.

From Corporate Life to Creative Living

I spent years in a successful corporate career. Then I made a change. I chose to live more intentionally and follow my passion—travel, nature, and photography. Now, I travel with my husband to places filled with peace, wonder, and authenticity.

What You’ll Find Here

On Back Roads Lens, I share:

  • Photography tips for travel gear, cameras, and editing.

  • Scenic road trip guides through national parks and small towns.

  • Stories in pictures that highlight hidden gems and authentic places.

Let’s Explore Together

Our travels often take us through winding country roads and charming small towns. We visit national parks, quiet trails, and places most people overlook. Each journey gives me a chance to tell a story through words and photography.

If you enjoy scenic drives, off-the-beaten-path adventures, and photography inspiration, you’ll feel at home here.
