GUIDED PHOTO ADVENTURES

1) How many people can sign up?

A) Right now I’m only offering bookings for groups of 1-3 people to keep the experience intimate and stress free for everyone! In the future I hope to hire an assistant and be able to offer trips for larger groups!

2) How much time in advance should we book?

A) For HALF DAY or FULL DAY trips its best to book at least 2 weeks in advance. For MULTI-DAY trips it’s best to book 2 months in advance. If you’re traveling to a popular destination like Yosemite or Big Sur, I would suggest booking at least 4-5 months in advance. I know that sounds CRAZY, but believe me popular locations often fill up 6 months in advance. Those are just suggested guidelines, ALWAYS reach out and see if I’m available even if it’s last minute. I will always. do my best to make something happen.

3) Do we have to bring our own gear?

A) Nope! For MULTI-DAY trips I’ve got enough gear for at least 3 people. That includes tents, sleeping pads and sleeping bags/blankets. I also provide all of the camping necessities ie: stove, chairs, lamps, cookware, fire starter, first aid kit etc. If you do have your own gear, feel free to bring it! For HALF or FULL DAY trips please bring shoes you feel are comfortable to hike/explore in along with a pair of sandals. Also bring a back pack with anything you might want throughout the day ie: phone, wallet, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, sweater etc.

4) What’s included in each booking?

A) This is where you get to sit back and relax. I take care of the planning, booking, transportation (you’re welcome to drive yourself if you want), food, lodging (camping for multi-day trips, with optional up-charge for AirBnB), and an adventure of choice ie: hiking, swimming, stargazing, waterfall chasing… etc. After each trip you’re sent ALL of the photos from your experience in an easy downloadable small format. You get 5 free edits, every extra edit is $25. If you added video to your package, you’ll get a memorable 2 minute trailer of your time outside!

5) We want to do a multi-day trip, but we don’t want to go camping. Are you open to doing AirBnB or other lodging options?

A) YES! The most important thing about every booking is to make sure that you have the best time possible. Camping isn’t for everyone and that’s OK! The rate for the trip would go up based off the location and type of accommodations that are available, which we would discuss at the time of booking.

6) Are all of the trips based in California?

A) Yes. For now all of the adventures are based in CA. In the future I do hope to expand to a larger market. I promise CA has something to offer for EVERYONE. There aren’t many places in the world where you can enjoy the sunrise in the desert, ski during the day, and watch the sunset on the beach all in one day.
