In 2022, the Westway team decided “there’s no time like the present” and set off in our Airstream for six months of exploration and adventure around this beautiful country we call home. We honestly didn’t know what to expect or if we’d love it or hate it. Turns out, we LOVED it and decided to permanently split our time between traveling in our Airstream between April – September and being in San Diego from October – March.

In 2022, we traveled from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, from the dry deserts of California to the rocky coast of Maine, from old growth pecan groves in Georgia to sugar shacks in Vermont, and a lot of places in between. During our 2023 travel season, we ventured into the Wild, Wild West(way), up through the red rock landscapes of Utah, the unmistakable Grand Teton mountains in Wyoming, and found ourselves in awe of the glacial lakes of Montana. Each time, three incredible companies joined us as trip sponsors! We created photo libraries that were packed with fresh, beautiful, aspirational imagery for each of them every month. We shot:
- on white sand beaches in Florida,
- by the Airstream and a cozy campfire in Vermont,
- at mountain lakes in New Hampshire,
- by the rugged, rocky shores of the Maine coast,
- on picture-perfect hiking trails in New York,
- alongside the sandstone cliffs of San Diego’s beaches,
- among the red rock formations of southern Utah,
- overlooking the Grand Teton mountain range in Wyoming,
- on a glacial lake in Northwest Montana,
- and in a gorgeous pine forest in Southwest Montana
So, where will we be off to next?
We’re heading up the West Coast to photograph all the li’l doggies we can find. Are you in? Bringing brands along with us on the 2024 Great American Road Trip is our way of supporting the businesses we believe in while doing what we love most — creating images of dogs living their best lives!
Consumers are inspired by the ideas of freedom, travel, and getting back to the things that are most important in life. They’re craving outdoor adventures and quality time with their dogs. We want to help brands connect with their target markets more easily so we will be creating beautiful aspirational imagery for our trip sponsors every month as we travel through California, Oregon, and Washington. As we travel, we are showing how living life on our own terms can be exciting, fulfilling, and 100% doable. We want to inspire other pet parents to dream big, too (no matter what their big dreams may be)!
Photo shoots will be focused on the outdoors — after all, that’s why we’re traveling! We want to embrace new landscapes and show how dogs can enjoy your products in all different environments.

Beyond your monthly photos, we’re featuring our entire journey on our social media and blog. You can expect our 30′ Airstream Classic and Ford F350 Tremor to be featured in our thoughtfully-planned social feeds right beside the photos we create for you, adding a touch of our rustic luxury, outdoorsy-but-comfortable lifestyle to your brand! After all, we love the great outdoors, warm campfires & s’mores, off-roading, and adventuring but we also love a home-cooked meal and a hot shower at the end of the day.
In the classic SNL skit, Chris Farley told two teens if they didn’t shape up, they’d end up living “in a van down by the river.” Oh, how times have changed! Now, living in a van down by the river is an actual life goal! As remote work becomes more mainstream and housing prices increase, younger generations are rethinking what it means to live The American Dream. There’s a massive cultural shift happening. For some, a tiny-home, van-life, or adventure lifestyle is the ultimate goal. For others, a weekend road trip with their travel trailer is perfect for a little adventure with their dogs!

Most months, we will find dogs and people local to our locations but there may be times when Greg, Roxy, and/or I are the subjects.
We may feature purebreds, mixed breeds, dogs in all stages of life, and dogs with all abilities (including special needs). We've had a few tripod and wheelchair-bound pups over the years who have made excellent models! All dogs will have a healthy appearance.
Pet parent models may be any age, gender, or ethnicity.
If your brand has any specific requests or breed restrictions for its imagery, please let us know.
