The Adventure Journal

Insights & Stories of Family, Weddings & Elopement Photography

Welcome to the heart of it all — where stories unfold, tips are shared, and real moments get the spotlight. The Adventure Journal is where I document the in-between: the windblown hair, the laughter on the trail, the quiet vows in the woods, and the beautiful chaos of family life in motion.

Here you’ll find helpful guides, behind-the-scenes, client stories, and inspiration for your session — whether you’re planning an elopement in the North Cascades, a family hike with little feet in tow, or simply wondering what to wear for your adventure photos.
