FAQ

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!

It’s easy for me to get overwhelmed with the shitty state of affairs right now. Though, I have had some positives come out of the mess if I’m being honest! I want to hear what positives you’ve experienced that are at least due in part because of whatever is happening right now.

What happened to monsoon season? Was the one weekend really it? I know that technically we still have about a month left for monsoons, but it’s not looking too promising. Bring on the fall hiking weather please.

It’s only Tuesday but I’m ready for some down time in a forest. Some serious tree hugging needs to happen!

Is the summer getting anyone else down? Highs of 1

Is the summer getting anyone else down? Highs of 116 today and tomorrow. The pandemic has made coping with the heat especially difficult this year. Should this weekend be another weekend away in the mountains or lounging poolside at a friends house?

I’ve only been able to go climbing outside a few times since COVID. Without being able to go to the climbing gym a few times a week, I definitely don’t have the stamina I used to have, but I’ve been surprised that I haven’t lost more strength. My biggest issue? Squeezing my feet into climbing shoes and my now soft baby hands 😂 I seriously can’t wait to get my not so pretty calloused hands back!

Have you ever met someone you just instantly vibe

Have you ever met someone you just instantly vibe with? Weirdly enough, this was one of those times! We asked a young woman coming up behind us on the trail to take a couple photos and I immediately wanted to make her a hiking buddy. We chatted briefly, I mentally nicknamed her freckles and then she was on her way. I saw her a couple more times along the trail and each time thought, I need to share my IG account so we can connect later. I chickened out and now regret it. Boo!

Here’s to all my instant friends. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s pretty magical.
