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!

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!

Heading outside for the first time in a couple weeks! I was quarantined for a couple weeks since my kid tested positive for COVID.

2 negative COVID tests and 2 weeks quarantined and I’m ready to hit some trails!

#tbt to nearly 2 years ago when I spent a weekend chasing rainbows in @joshuatreenps

I almost cancelled this trip because of the rain, but was convinced by someone much wiser than me that I wouldn’t melt in the rain.

I’ve learned to love inclement weather for traveling because I get to view the space in a different light as well as it scaring off all the tourists! We pretty much had the park to ourselves that weekend! Though, I was completely soaked through for 3 days straight 😂 #worthit
