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 […]

Road Trip! In January we hit the road on a shoot for the Utah Office of Tourism. The mission was to showcase a handful of good reasons to visit the State’s national parks in the dead of winter. This might sound kind of just plain cold at first. But then you drive up into those […]
