Welcome to the Apollo & Pep Photography Journal — a space where storytelling meets adventure. Here, I pull back the curtain and share what really goes on behind the lens — from the early morning mountain summits to the laughter, mud, and magic that unfold on real sessions with real people.


This blog is a mix of behind-the-scenes stories, planning guides, photography tips, and heartfelt reflections from life on the road. You’ll find posts on how to plan your own adventure engagement session, what to pack for a backpacking shoot, lessons learned from wild weather, and favorite hidden locations across the West.

It’s also a journal of the journeys I share with my clients — the incredible people (and dogs/horses) who remind me daily why I love what I do: capturing connection, courage, and joy in the great outdoors.
