Our first trip to California brought me to anticipate some blue skies, aqua water, warm weather, and a beer for every meal. As our luck would have it, our entire trip was plagued by heavy rains, relentless fog, and no waterproof pants. After our flight lands and we pick up the rental car, we found …
Valley of Fire Nevada
Heidi was the one who inspired this trip. She and I had wanted to shoot together in the red rock region for a while, and had a good excuse to make our way down to the Valley of Fire State Park, Ronny at the wheel. With sunset fast approaching, we direct ourselves to Valley of …

Oregon Southern Coast 2017

Island Park, Idaho
Island Park caught our attention with riverside access and rentable canoes to float down Henry’s Fork. With a 4 hour car ride ahead, we set out for Macks Inn, a once family owned motel now gone. The room was small, and shower smaller. Outfitted with two beds and a table, we felt lucky our room …

Colorado 2015
This trip came as a cheap christmas ticket from Frontier Airlines from SLC. Colorado is our friendly neighbor to the East with recreational enjoyment.
