Earlier this summer we had the opportunity to spend some QT in Flagstaff, a favorite place for us in Northern Arizona. While in the neighborhood, we reached out to the local mountain bike community and put together two different shoots. First we got together with local pro rider Alex Pavon (Juliana) and visiting pro rider […]

This winter’s rampage of high points began with Humphreys Peak in Arizona. During a visit to Flagstaff in November, we reveled in the mild ‘late fall’ conditions. Looking up at the snow-free mountain urged us to plan a family day hike to the 12,633-foot summit. It would be our son’s highest point to date at […]

We’ve covered a lot of ground this year, mostly living and working on the road around the Western States. After multiple trips to several states, Mexico, the Caribbean and our home in Alaska, it’s safe to say our little boy (now 18 months) has travel in his blood. We started off the year in Southern […]

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, […]

It’s good to be back in the sun-soaked Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona. Over the years, the Grand Canyon state has become a go-to destination for producing mountain bike photo and video work. From our meager beginnings 10 years ago building our portfolio, to just a couple months ago working with a talented pro rider, […]

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.

Earlier this year we got together with the Italian footwear specialist La Sportiva for a week-long shoot in the desert southwest. Our mission was to produce high calibre hiking and backpacking work that would stand side-by-side with the brands’ already outstanding climbing photography. This can be a real challenge as climbing and skiing imagery inspire on […]

Getting the opportunity to check out the latest offerings from equipment brands is definitely a perk of our job. We started out this year shooting a new line of backpacks from Osprey for REI’s online content, the Aether 70 and women’s Ariel 65. The job came to us right after the new year and needed […]

Sometimes it pays to listen to the kid working at the outdoor shop. We had stopped in to grab a map of the greater area around Zion National Park in Southern Utah. “You should check out The Barracks,” he offered up casually while swiping my card. “It’s as spectacular as the narrows, but not as […]
