our story begins with nature 

…and creativity.

It was November of 2016, and we drove out to the wintery mountains north for a photoshoot with a dear friend the day after thanksgiving. While most people had spent the day Black Friday shopping, the three of us opted for a more adventurous Friday. Living in Northern California, we were blessed to grow up in the valley surrounded by mountains, with access to hiking trails, lakes, rivers, creeks, waterfalls, and endless opportunities for exploration.
