Capture the Moment by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Combining photography and the national parks made this a must read for me!  

The characters made this story so interesting but my favorites were Maisie and #399.  These weren't the main characters but they made such an impression on me.  Maisie has been through so much in life but she maintained such joy and a bubbly personality filled with fun facts.  399 is a much loved bear that lives in the Tetons.  I loved how she was portrayed throughout the story, a celebrity bear with a resilient spirit.  

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

What it's about:

Kate Cunningham is facing the opportunity of a lifetime. As a zoo photographer, she's spent years photographing animals in carefully controlled environments, but now National Geographic has dangled an irresistible prize: If Kate can snag a unique photo of a legendary bear in Grand Teton National Park, they just might publish it. It's the kind of challenge Kate has been waiting for, and she's eager to prove herself in the wild. 

With more enthusiasm than experience, Kate soon realizes that capturing an image of this bear isn't as simple as she hoped. Fortunately, she crosses paths with Grant Cooper, a seasonal park ranger who knows the terrain--and the bears--better than anyone. His tracking skills could be exactly what Kate needs to succeed, and it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes. But they're not the only ones with an interest in the park's most famous bear. And his motives are far from innocent.
