Welcome to Turas Photography!  I’m Kathleen Sheehan, the founder of Turas Photography and the photographer behind the lens.

I have been a long-time fan of photography, which has grown into a hobby and passion over the years.  My love of travel intersected with photography during a trip to Kenya in 2019, which transformed my view of wildlife and conservation.

Turas is the Gaelic word for ‘journey’. This is a metaphor to honor my Irish heritage and the leap of faith that my grandparents & great-grandparents took in their journey from Ireland to seek the promise of a new and better life in America.  The notion of ‘turas’ inspires my photography, as many journeys have deepened my curiosity for exploration and capturing the wild & beautiful moments of nature around us.  Turas also evokes the possibilities that future journeys will reveal.

I enjoy sharing stories of the wild and natural parts of our world through photography.  I hope my photography stirs something in your soul the way these moments have for me.
