Fresh Perspectives
fostering a lifelong passion for learning
Welcome to Fresh Perspectives!
Join me on a journey of photographic adventures paired with personal reflections.
In recent years, I’ve been fortunate to travel widely, capturing the beauty and diversity of our world through my lens. Each image reflects a deep curiosity about the places, cultures, and stories that shape our shared experience.
Fresh Perspectives began in the early 1980s — decades of interactive workshops, meaningful conversations, and moments of clarity shared by hundreds of women across the Bay Area. What started as a live experience continues today, with many of the original participants still on the journey.
Now, Fresh Perspectives is evolving into something you can hold, revisit, and grow with — on the page, in your own time, and in your own way. It’s a space for rethinking, reframing, and rediscovering what matters, often hidden in plain sight.
May this collection spark your own sense of discovery and invite you to see the world, and your life, with fresh eyes.

“The camera catches what the heart can’t bear to lose.” This quotation sums up my feelings about Lois’s work. I have known her since before the flower photos and watched her eye refine its perspective over and over again. And now these two magical books that capture our world and all of its extraordinary beauty that the heart can’t bear to lose.”

“Your first two volumes of Images and Insights arrived today, and I finally had time this afternoon to dip into both books. “Indulge” is more apropos, really, since I was simultaneously inspired and awestruck by what you have created. Your photography is absolutely stunning, and the insights that complement and enhance the images flew straight to my heart. You have created a remarkable gift for us all, impeccably designed and packaged. Quintessentially LOIS!”

“This little book is the perfect coffee table book—just the right size to pick up and browse. The photos are incredible, and the accompanying quotes are original, inspiring, and enhance the photos' meaning. Almost hidden is the photo's location. These little books are my hostess gifts for the holiday season.”

“A beautiful, entertaining, and thoughtful way to introduce so many people to a world they might never see or now look at the world in a new way!
