While in Cuba earlier this year, we packed two inflatable stand-up paddle boards from Boardworks Surf. After a week experiencing the city of Havana, we moved to a small town on the coast called Guanabo. The scruffy little town is a popular spot for Habaneros to escape the city for some beach time during the summer, […]

Earlier this year, we got the opportunity to travel in Cuba. It was exciting to legally visit this Caribbean island long off limits to all us Americans. Researching and planning a two-week family trip to Havana (and beyond) was advanced. We could only stay in certain types of lodging and needed to bring a huge […]

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 […]

Backpacking with a full Nikon kit, including two cameras and eight lenses? Can do. Hanging out on top of an 11,000 foot mountain waiting for that sweet light? No problem. Enduring a week of four-percent beer? Well, if we have to. We wrapped up the summer with a commercial shoot for the Utah Office of […]

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 […]

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 […]

A recent conversation reminded us of a serendipitous trek ‘down under’. With a week to kill after completion of an assignment in New Zealand, we chose a quick hut trip in spectacular Mount Aspiring National Park close to Wanaka/Queenstown. The trek into the Liverpool Hut (listed as 6 hrs) starts off crossing some sheep paddocks […]

Earlier this year we partnered with Yeti Cycles for a trip-based photo shoot on the latest addition to New Zealand’s Cycle Trail collection. The Old Ghost Road carves an 85-km route across the rugged mountains of the South Island’s West Coast. Thanks to a hardy group of volunteer trail builders, what was once a rough […]

We recently found ourselves in California with a week to kill. With our last meeting in LA and our next photo shoot in Northern CA, we decided to take the slow road along the coast. Not that you can really go fast once you commit to Hwy 1. We pulled into Plaskett Creek Campground, found a […]
