Nice to meet you!

I’m Ashley, and I’m glad you’re here. I started hiking when I was a little kid, up against the Ko’olau Mountains in Hawaii. I’ve made the Pacific Northwest my home and spend my time traveling, hiking, climbing mountains, and documenting it all as best I can.

I’ve been slowly checking off peaks in the Cascade Mountain Range, I’m “collecting” fire lookouts around the PNW, and am obsessed with being up high. You can bet good money that any trip I go on starts with googling “highest point in ___”. Bonus points if I can get above the clouds. I will never miss a sunset if I can help it, and I always have a bag of Sour Patch Kids in my hiking pack.

Photography and writing have long been two of my biggest passions, and combining the two in my creative endeavors has been a dream. I love new challenges and projects, and will often take off on a whim for a spot I’ve just read about to find some good sunrise lighting or a cool place for some levitation photography.

What I do

I love teaching people how to pack a bag for their first backpacking trip, planning multi day treks into the woods, and helping to plan international trips around hiking. Get in touch - let’s nerd out about mountains, talk about photography, or plan a trip! I’m here for all of it!

Let’s Talk Business

My favorite projects are giving life to your brand in the field. Whether you’re a well established company or just getting started, capturing the essence of your brand in both photography and writing is my passion. Copy writing, blog posts, and adventures customized to the image you have in your head are my specialty.

Figure out what makes you happy, what makes you feel alive, and do more of that. No matter what. No excuses. It’s easy to let life get in the way of what you really want, or need, when we should all be making life the thing we’re excited about every day. Take that trip. Start learning that thing you’ve always wanted to know how to do. Tell your friends you love them. Climb that goddamn mountain. Do something that makes you happy every day.

Say hello!
