My favorite things, adventure and photography. I haven’t even heard about yours yet, but I’m already stoked. Those memories don’t have to be left at the campsite, trail, wall or event. Let me capture it for you!

Over the weekend I did an overnight backpacking trip with @meggwes411 We scored a great spot and found a new trail to explore, so overall it was definitely a win! Definitely put me in the mood for a much longer backpacking trip!!

Yes I’m part of a lady hike gang that wears only yellow shorts and also climbs.

Don’t be jealous.

Today has been one let down after the next. When I feel this about people or life in general, sometimes I flick through past adventures to try and pull myself out of that funk. This photo was from a really fantastic ride with my bike gang @nurserach22 and @wonderin1 and definitely was the opposite of a shitty day.

Tell me your recent good news and wins! I want to hear all the positive stuff today!

Arizona, you were pretty spectacular this weekend.

Arizona, you were pretty spectacular this weekend.

I didn’t bring my @sony camera for this hike since I knew it would be raining. I regretted it within the first mile of the hike. Ugh! I’ve never regretted bringing my camera, only the times I decided not to. How do I keep forgetting this?!

Well... 2020 is finally over. There is no magic fix to everything just because we flipped the page on the calendar, but it does feel like a chance to reset and start fresh.

If I’m being honest, 2020 hasn’t been all bad. It’s probably been simultaneously one of the worst and best years I’ve had. I’m entering 2021 changed in a way I didn’t anticipate at the beginning of last year.

2021 brings even more changes, some of the biggest in my life to date. The only goal I’m setting this year is to be deliberate in the choices I have control over and try to not stress over those I don’t.

Thank you to the amazing people I have in my life that helped me stay sane over the past year ❤️

The most Christmassy photo I could find!

It’s the last Christmas with Tyler living at home. Big changes are coming in 2021 which I’m very excited about... but today is a little bittersweet knowing Christmas won’t quite be the same after this.

I think Red Rocks Canyon is calling my name... the views were just stellar. The company wasn’t bad either 😆

📷: @pnwmumford apologizes for the wonky horizon. Main goal was to make me look badass and that was definitely accomplished!
