Hiking the red rocks with Kilo was so much fun! He Hiking the red rocks with Kilo was so much fun! He is soooo athletic and was ready to bounce up onto every rock we saw. He kept a close eye on all the other hikers to make sure they weren't there to steal his super-yumma treats! 😆😋​​​​​​​​​ 
Thank you to @wellnesspetfood for sponsoring our big adventure and keeping our doggie models so, so happy with the very best treats!

Greg is really putting my fear of falling to the test lately. He keeps leading me to these incredible places with steep, steep falls but great, great views (which he knows I can’t resist). 😱 He even somehow convinced me to climb across a nearly sheer rock face through the use of foot holes and hand holds. Thankfully, there was also a rope to hold onto but, my goodness, my heart was pounding and my entire body was screaming on the inside. I did it, though, and that’s what matters!
Who loves camping? Do you prefer hiking out to the Who loves camping? Do you prefer hiking out to the backcountry with a tent or bringing all the comforts of home along with you in a trailer? What's your favorite campfire activity? Ghost stories, s'mores, music, or something else?​​​​​​​​​ 
Thanks to our awesome trip sponsor, @petplaysf, Oakley is all set for an adventure out in the wild (or, you know, just an afternoon snoozing in the shade).
I've always been a homebody. I like my house. I li I've always been a homebody. I like my house. I like my stuff. I like the comfort of it all... but once we picked up our Airstream last year, my whole world changed. The open road quickly became my home; change became my comfort zone. After six months of travel, I kept asking Greg, "do we have to go home?" I honestly didn't want to go back to my house or to sticks-and-bricks living. I was sad. I loved living small. I loved experiencing this incredible country while trailering my home behind me. We had to go home, though. But now, six months later, we are back on the road again and I truly couldn't be happier! This year's adventure is taking us through Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana — some of my favorite-favorite-favorite places on this earth! Follow along on our blog (westwaypets.com/blog) or right here on our social media!
Before we left San Diego, we did a shoot with Boba Before we left San Diego, we did a shoot with Boba — the most adorable little pom — and his mom! Boba is the goodest boy and knew all the looks that would get him 11,386 Good Dog treats! I mean, really, would *YOU* be able to resist that smile??? 😁​​​​​​​​​
Thank you to @wellnesspetfood for sponsoring us on Season 2 of our epic Great American Road Trip!
It's world cocktail day! I've never been much of a It's world cocktail day! I've never been much of a drinker but as the temperatures are getting warmer, I find myself craving my favorite summertime cocktails! Lavender lemonade with fresh mint (made with Silo lavender vodka we found in Vermont) and Arnold Palmers (made with Mossy Ledge Sweet Tea cordial we found in Maine) are my two go-to staples! What are your favorites? (Alcoholic or non-alcoholic options both welcome!)
I have been photographing beautiful Presley for ma I have been photographing beautiful Presley for many, many years but this was her first outdoor session with me! I spotted these little flowers and just knew I had to photograph her in them. She's the sweetest girl and I absolutely adore her! ❤️
