Growing up with a very outdoorsy lifestyle with a lot of campground camping, hunting and fishing, it was only natural to fall into full on backpacking. We (my girlfriend and I) officially started backpacking last year(2015). As someone who works 50+ hours a week getting out into the deep back country is my relaxation and refueling time. As a photographer who loves shooting nature and landscapes the two naturally go hand in hand so our adventuring serves multiple purposes!

McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park

Went there this last weekend and loved finally getting to shoot here. Even with the hundreds of people there on a great warm Saturday we had some great spots and moments to get some nice work done!

Hatchet Falls / Lion Slide Falls

The falls are running great right now and are nice and chilly from the snow melt! Ideal for the triple digits already here in Norcal!

Bear Lakes

09.12.15

Was happily surprised to have seen someone else had done this trip. It is definitely one heck of a trek as it is uphill basically the whole way. Well worth it with the views and the wonderful lakes. We did it back in September and the weather was ideal. This is great for those of you who want to get out from the more popular congested hikes here in the north state as not many people will be out there. Bonus for the summit baggers out there, the summit above Big Bear Lake can be scrambled/bouldered up. It is not named but it offers a challenging ascent and a great view of the region!

Hedge Creek Falls

Hit Hedge Creek Falls last year while doing a waterfall day in the area. Great little spot to take the kids. Trail can be a bit slick right now in winter with mud and run off however.
