Kim + Kevin | Backcountry Skiing Adventure Session in the Cascades
- I’m really not sure how we’re ever going to top this. When Kim and Kevin contacted us about photographing their wedding and engagement session in Seattle, we were over the moon. Then they told us they wanted to take us into the Cascade Mountains for some backcountry skiing and we pinched ourselves to make [...]
Big Bend National Park | Texas
Before this trip, I had never heard of Big Bend National Park. Actually, there were a lot of beautiful places we had never heard of, but this place is worth coming back to. Big Bend is located right along the border of Mexico and Texas. Its full of low mountain ranges and open desert. Driv [...]
Marfa, Texas Town + Lights Guide | Texas
- When my friend suggested we go to Marfa, he was surprised to find out that I had already heard of this tiny town. I remembered it from the Prada ad I saw a few years ago. Prada built a tiny one room store in the middle of nowhere here. At first, I thought the Prada store in the ad was just [...]
Tourists in Roswell | New Mexico
- Like most of our trip, our drive through New Mexico was a planned spur of the moment and day-by-day. We knew we were driving through Albuquerque, so just out of curiousity, we looked up the distance to Roswell. It really wasn’t far, so we said “What the heck, why not?”. Roswell isn't the sort of place that [...]
Bisti Wilderness near Albuquerque Part 2 | New Mexico
- The Bisti Badlands is like a place you would imagine on Mars. As we hiked along, I felt like I was in a Star Wars movie. It was just unreal. So many unusual shapes molded into the rocks, with so many interesting colors. In one area, the rock could go from white, to black, then red, green, and or [...]
Bisti Wilderness Part 1| New Mexico
- If you are anything like us, I’m sure you’ve never heard of the Bisti Badlands. Actually, before this trip, we probably couldn’t have named any hiking areas in New Mexico. New Mexico is full of wide open spaces and Native American Lands. Driving through, we made sure to top our tank off every [...]
Mountain Biking Devil's Bridge | Arizona
- As you might have noticed, I toted my Surly mountain bike all the way from North Carolina for this trip. We got to use them a handful of times and it was fun. Neither of us had ever mountain biked in the desert before though, so we were pretty excited to try that out. Sedona has TONS of trails. [...]
Hiking in Sedona | Arizona
- Sedona was on my “must visit” list for some time now. We planned this trip very loosely, and honestly, I hadn’t even planned to be able to visit this town originally. But various weather events had us driving way farther south than we anticipated, and that turned out be a really awesome thin [...]
Driving to Sedona | Arizona
- I had a really great time in California. But with El Nino in full force this winter, heavy rains forced us to end our visit early. The day before we left, it rained the whole day. I was working in our camper when I stepped outside to get something from the car and saw that the whole campground was floode [...]
Visiting San Fransisco Chinatown | California
- As you may have already gathered, I'm not much of a city person. We’ve really enjoyed our time exploring State and National Parks along this trip. That being said- we were very excited to visit San Fransisco. We planned to head into the city for one day during our visit to the bay area. With El [...]
Point Reyes Shipwreck + Lighthouse | California
- In the time that I was in Point Reyes, we had been hearing a lot about this shipwreck. Something about a fire and the fact that this local monument had to be dismantled and removed. Later we heard that it was actually a group of photographers who destroyed this beautiful relic while trying out some py [...]
Sunset on Mount Tamalpais | California
- I went to Mount Tamalpais by recommendation of our friends Meg and Matt. We briefly looked up some photos online before our visit, but had no idea it would be this beautiful. The drive up the mountain is quite the adventure! The road winds round and around, along steep cliffs and overlooks. Al [...]
