Capturing the State’s Beauty, One Page at a Time

Nestled in Hayden, Idaho, Idaho Scenic Images, LLC and Publishing, LLLP is more than just a publishing house—it’s a tribute to the breathtaking landscapes and rich history of the Gem State. Founded by renowned landscape photographer Linda Lantzy, this business has spent the last 19 years bringing Idaho’s beauty to homes, businesses, and bookshops across the state.

A Journey Through the Lens

Linda’s path to photography—and later publishing—has been anything but ordinary. Born in Coeur d’Alene and raised on a farm in eastern Washington, she developed an early appreciation for wide-open spaces and natural beauty. She first honed her craft at Spokane Falls Community College's commercial photography program, but life took her in a different direction for a time. When she reentered the photography world in the digital era, she had to teach herself new techniques, evolving her artistry to meet the times.

Since then, her work has found a home in Idaho Central Credit Union branches, the Federal Courthouse in Coeur d’Alene, and St. Luke’s healthcare system buildings throughout the Treasure Valley. Her books, including the bestseller Discovering Idaho's Scenic Drives and Backroad Treasures, have become essential reads for adventurers and locals alike.

A Vision for Publishing

While Linda’s career began behind the camera, her love for Idaho expanded beyond photography into the world of publishing. What started with a yearly Idaho wall calendar soon grew into a collection of photography books that celebrate the state’s stunning landscapes. As her publishing catalog expanded, so did her mission—to create a business dedicated not just to showcasing Idaho but also to supporting the artists, writers, and photographers who bring its stories to life.

Introducing “Seasons of the 208”

Now, Linda is embarking on her biggest publishing project yet—a statewide magazine titled Seasons of the 208, launching in June 2025. This 100-page, full-color glossy magazine is set to be the first of its kind in Idaho, blending outdoor adventure, wildlife features, history, geology, and incredible photography into an immersive storytelling experience. Unlike many publications, Seasons of the 208 is committed to paying fair wages to photographers and writers, ensuring that the state’s most talented creatives are compensated for their work.

Subscriptions for print and digital editions are already available, and businesses looking to reach a passionate Idaho audience can secure advertising space now. More details can be found at www.seasonsofthe208.com.

A Commitment to Community

Beyond publishing, Idaho Scenic Images is committed to supporting the next generation of artists. Each year, the company offers a scholarship to a high school senior or college undergraduate pursuing a career in photography—a testament to Linda’s belief in fostering new talent.

Looking Ahead

As Idaho continues to grow, so does Linda’s vision. With the launch of Seasons of the 208, she hopes to bring more stories, more perspectives, and more of Idaho’s rugged beauty into the hands of readers across the state and beyond.

For those who love Idaho’s landscapes and stories, Idaho Scenic Images & Publishing offers a way to experience them from the comfort of home. Whether through a stunning book, a mesmerizing photograph, or an engaging magazine feature, Linda’s work captures Idaho in a way that’s both timeless and deeply personal.
