Morning in the City
4 a.m rolls around and you get out too see what the sun looks like hitting the city with its morning glow. Golden hour at its finest. St John’s Bridge in Portland OR is an iconic structure that everyone should see if you’re in the city. The morning I captured these just made it that more incredible!
Journey to Mt. Hood
A August afternoon and as the sun hits the mountain it brings such beauty to the peaks. In the matter of a few minutes as the clouds roll thru and change drastically, adds so much drama to the scene. Along with the trees being so vibrant and they just go on for miles. So mesmerizing!
Change in season
The PNW is such a beautiful place with its forest backroads. Especially once you get into seasons changing, these were captured from summer to fall. You start to see the warm colors peak thru while still having the strong greens present. They go together so well!
Fall at its finest
Once its peak fall in Oregon. Everything around you is so vibrant in the warm colors fall has to offer! Makes you want to be outside and enjoy every second while it’s here!
More fall
From the yellows, oranges, and reds being on every leaf on the tree. Too them being a blanket on the ground all around you. Too the trees just being bare until spring rolls around. Every step of the process is just as beautiful as the next!
Green lake Advanture
“Easy” Go trail final View
A total of a 13 hour round trip, this trial head had the most misleading name. An absolute killer hike with mainly uphill walking, on and off rain, and packed nearly not enough food. In the end all of it, was worth it to be able to look and and see the vast view this place had to offer. Would 110% do it again!
Winter Time
From the infamous St. John’s Bridge in Portland, OR. To the lodges of Government Camp, OR. Anywhere looks a little better with snow!
Sisters, OR
Walking through the Deschutes National Forest Down in Central Oregon you get the Crips cold air hitting your face, seeing all the tress and when you wind down and really take a look, you can tell how long all of them have been there. Decades of forest that’s irreplaceable. Paying attention to what lays on the forest floors, you’ll find out there’s so much beauty all around.
Trip to the State next door
Finding a backroad around Ariel, Washingtion and it leading to the top of hillside and capturing the sun finally break through the clouds and hitting the land, talk about right moment at the right time. The forecast was predicting for no sun that day. We went and knew the possibility but somehow luck was on our side.
Gifford Pinchot Nation Forest trip
Pinchot Forest and Sunset
A campsite with a clear cut opening and when the sun hit Mt St Helen’s at just the right time, it lit up with so much color!
Hazy Morning
A super early morning out getting out to explore the hillsides of Cougar, Washington. Hiking around old hunting grounds my buddies have gone through over the years, they were hunting for deer and I was hunting for some killer photos!
Let it snow!
The Mt hood Nation Forest/Government Camp Area is one of the most well none places here with all the scenery you get to devour in, unless tress that go on for miles, hikes that get you hyped, the iconic area for when it snows, and the views it offers.
ZigZag falls
Right before you get into Government camp you go down this small road off highway 26 and you only have to hike in like 25 minutes and get to witness this Beaty! Snow packed down, freezing temperatures, no one else on the path. Was an incredible trip!
Ship Wreck on the Coast
When you travel along the Oregon coast this is one of the most popular spots to check out. The Peter Iredale is just in the Warrenton area and one you gotta check out
Cline Falls
A cold Sunday morning around 19 degrees just outside of Redmond, Oregon. This hike was nothing but a breeze and the view you get is a breath taking one. The way the water falls through all the cracks and forms, So peaceful.
Some places just feel surreal, and down in Bend, OR. This is definitely one of those spots. The way the rocks shape this place is just absolutely beautiful!
Smith Rock National Park
Beaver Falls
This place made you feel like you were in a different world, this .6 miles round trip had nothing but beautiful scenery all around. Dodged the rain for the most part but there was still spurts of it throughout my journey. With that, having it being an overcast day it gave this place such moody feels. Honestly couldn’t of been a better day too be out there!
