About Mountain Glow Photography

Gloria Ford was born and raised in Maui, Hawaii where her love for the outdoors began. As a passionate  skier, Gloria attended Colorado State University after high school and earned her degree in Natural Resource Recreation and Tourism.

Combining her love for horses, adventure, and photography, Gloria worked seasonal jobs as a wrangler guiding trail rides around Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado capturing photos of stunning landscapes through her travels.

In 2015, Mountain Glow Photography was born to share awe inspiring moments with friends and family all around the world. Gloria's dream is to have her art on the walls of many homes, offices, stores, and restaurants to spread the joy of the 'mountain glow' to all.
