Not Quitting on Mt Rainier’s Wonderland Trail

September 6, 2017 by HagePhoto

Even at the sky-scraping altitude of 14,410-feet, Mount Rainer is not the tallest peak in the western states, but it is massive. We usually get a good look at this glaciated giant every time we fly into SeaTac (which is quite a bit) and a couple years ago got the chance to trek it’s famed […]

Summer Sojourn in the Trinity Alps

August 9, 2017 by HagePhoto

Usually we know we’re in trouble when it’s 80-degrees at the trailhead. But that’s considered a cool summer day in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. Back at our Airstream on Trinity Lake it was nearly 100-degrees already. So we shouldered out packs, one carrying Dusty, and hit the trail. No swimming hole would be […]

High Sierra Rainwear in Alaska

August 9, 2017 by HagePhoto

Even though our robust travel schedule might say otherwise, our home base is in Southcentral Alaska. Just down the highway, the whole region is a temperate rain forest with some towns measuring the annual amounts of ‘liquid sunshine’ in feet not inches. So yeah, this is a good place to shoot rainwear. The outdoor brand […]

The Wonderland Connection

June 24, 2017 by HagePhoto

My first visit to Joshua Tree National Park 15 years ago nearly ended in that kind of tragedy. A buddy and I were down from Anchorage, Alaska to climb granite splitters in the desert sun. After a week of constant climbing, we needed to give our destroyed hands a break. A day hike through the […]

Badwater to Telescope Peak in Death Valley

May 6, 2017 by HagePhoto

The four of us piled out of the SUV for another predawn start in a pull-off on the side of the road. Shoes were tightened, trekking poles extended and packs were hefted (heavier than I had expected) as we prepared to walk out onto the flats. Not just any flats. These were the famed salt […]

Last Minute on Grand Canyon’s Boucher Trail

April 10, 2017 by HagePhoto

When it comes to our personal trips, we can be a bit unorganized or behind in the planning. Sometimes this is because we often don’t know when exactly we’re going to have free time in advance. Other times it’s just that we didn’t get to it. When planning dozens of outdoor adventures is your job, […]

Endless Summer in So Cal for La Sportiva

February 26, 2017 by HagePhoto

It’s not uncommon when working for top outdoor brands to be shooting out of season. Production schedules must line up with availability of prototypes and lead time to get assets into pre-season advertising. Such was the case on a campaign we shot for Italian footwear brand La Sportiva this winter. They needed fresh work showcasing […]

Across Alaska’s Talkeetna Mountains for Outdoor Research

January 8, 2017 by HagePhoto

Last fall we put together a crew of stoked individuals for challenging traverse in Alaska’s Talkeetna Mountains. We’ve done the classic Bomber Traverse a few times and have been adding an experimental beginning to the route each time. Experimental as in ‘this may go or it may not’. The five-day route connects a unique series […]

Sweet Sixteen: Favorite Projects from 2016

January 5, 2017 by HagePhoto

Happy New Year! 2016 stands out with some unique differences from past years at HagePhoto. Many of our projects now include a video component as a matter of course. Some of our work was commissioned strictly for social media campaigns instead of traditional advertising. And with the birth of our son (!!!) we decided to operate […]
