Long time lurker, first time hauler. Always wanted to experience sturgeon fishing and it absolutely did not disappoint. Thanks for the invite YETI 🤍. Took the bait and now I’m@jurassicclassicbc’s newest biggest fan. :)

Sharing sunrise on the trail with the Rubble Creek Classic crew felt more like a celebration of community and landscape than a cutthroat race. Plus, gotta love a little work excuse (nudge) to visit Cinder Cone flats (one of my fave places ever), it never loses its charm.
Big thx to Arc'teryx (Arc’teryx BC) for sending Zessel Designs and myself up into the sweet light for this one, and hats off to every runner who danced through my lens.

Flat white < Flat light with friends riding Ski-Doo 💛. Photos from a fun backyard adventure that was planned to match a sunny forecast but the only blue sky we saw was a milky blue haze at dusk - not mad. Actually impossible when in riding in good company 💛.

Tight gear, loose plans they say, not wrong at all - but usually in my world it’s tight gear, many plans :). Love me a RUX, not just for the fun shoots (hello new Multicam 😍!!!), but for keeping my multitude of plans, and excessive amount of personal, production and group gear tight no matter the location, purpose or mode of transportation 🫡. Always a pleasure.

Featured: RUX Duffel Box MultiCam 55L
Used Irl: the entire line up, hmu for RUX reccos :)

A lil archive dive to Explore North Okanagan. Two years ago, an incredible crew and I teamed up to capture sport, adventure, culture, and landscape across the region. Tourism projects are such a fun creative and logistical puzzle for me. I love wearing both the producer and photographer hat - wrangling talent (athletes, pals, couples, families) across non-stop locations on a strict timeline while working around light and weather. Variety, adventure, creativity and teamwork - what’s not to love?!

From rigging underwater housings at the lake to shooting bike park laps, winery strolls and live music in the village, shoots like this keep you on your toes. Grateful for the trust, collaborators and incredible team to make it run smoothly.

These are a few personal favorites from that week with a little Abby black-and-white edit on top. Always fun seeing the OG edits living out in the wild across Explore North Okanagan, Thompson Okanagan, Destination Silver Star & Super, Natural British Columbia. :)

Extra special thanks to Amber Foster Turnau & Cassandra Zerebeski for the opportunity and vision! 🤍

The revolution is circular. 🌀 As an Arc'teryx ambassador of 11 years (OMG!), I spend the majority of my life in environments that demand everything from my gear, and in return give me everything that fills my cup: work, adventure, creativity, a sense of accomplishment, humble pies, lifelong memories, and friendships. I’m passionate about sharing and caring for these wild places that play such a huge part in my life - which is why if we want these mountains to stay wild for the next generation, how we build, use, and retire gear has to evolve. That’s why Arc'teryx’s System 0 matters so much to me :). It is a full commitment to product lifecycles; no more start and end, just continued circularity.

Leading us into the future? Meet the new Sperro SV. It’s the first Arc’teryx jacket certified under TESTEX® Circularity - pairing GORE-TEX PRO ePE weather protection for alpine pursuits with recycled nylon built for easy field repairs, and designed so that once it’s finally run its course, the nylon is recycled into new yarn 🤯.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve tested the Sperro SV in summer alpine environments, rainy fall slogs, and a few micro creative adventures in between. It’s been fun to learn and live the journey it’s designed for - and as a multi-sport jacket, you better believe I’ll be continuing to wear this all winter long. New uniform reporting for duty 🫡.

Big congrats to the Arc'teryx team for launching this! I’m so proud to be part of a brand family so dedicated to evolution, not only for durable design but for the places where their gear is made to thrive. Heart full!

Thx for playing photos with me fellow Arc’teryx BC ambassador and BFF Zessel Designs 🤍.

Masters in humility, grit, and genuine connection. The Blue Goose Farm crew are always adapting, learning on the fly, and staying unapologetically true to quality. Last year I had the pleasure of documenting farm life for XTRATUF. What stuck with me most wasn’t just the perfect produce or dreamy morning light, but the ethos behind it all. Zero ego, total dedication to craft, and space for authentic self-expression.

As Keenan put it: “There’s no such thing as a perfect season. There’s always something that’s going to go wrong. Those failures are what I learn the most from.”

Watch the full story and meet the crew in the film created by TOPO Films on xtratuf.com or YouTube.

You know that feeling, the one where you fall in love with something you already love? The big ole Sea to Sky backyard, gets me every time. Grateful for the friendships (hi Zessel Designs!) and the partnerships (hi Arc’teryx BC!) that continue to ignite, inspire and push me into these incredible places. Happy to be your digital pal for gear reccos - alpine szn is in full force! 💛

Btw, how addicting are maps? Love finding little nuggets of inspo on Outmap and making missions a reality with research. Big fan of getting lost in the app while inspo shopping at home so I’m not lost in the mtns irl :). Speaking of getting lost… it’s a really good time to level up our preparation game while exploring rn with SAR and helicopter resources spread thin with wildfires. Need ideas on how to level up? Lmk, here to help in the inbox! In Squamish? Come down to the Arc'teryx Academy on Friday August 21, 2026 at 1130am for a “beyond the bandaid” chat about first aid kits - it’s free and there’s swag :). See ya there!

Rubs’ first airplane ride! It’s not every day that I get to bring Rubble on location as my official production assistant, so taking him out to the dreamy Great Bear Heli Skiing lodge is already a treasured memory. Safe to say he took his job description very seriously while living his absolute best life. Huge thanks to the GBHS crew for welcoming this nontraditional team member and to aaron leyland for documenting Rubs working hard.

Rubble’s official PA duties - he works in house for me but interested in side hustles ;)
Logistics: Finding the perfect location for a dog bed on the boats.
Scouting: Assessing eye-level glacier views.
Safety: Supervising all river crossings.
Public Relations: Networking with the local lodge dogs.
Catering: Conducting emergency quality control on road trip fries that mysteriously landed in the backseat.

Overall, 10/10 employee. Rubs and I are both huge fans of Bella Coola and beyond, and so grateful to have these memories captured ♥️.

When was the last time you checked what’s living in your first aid kit? Expired painkillers? A crushed, useless Band-Aid? No judgies, but here to help thx to a FREE Arc'teryx Academy Squamish event. 🫡 Safety in the backcountry isn’t just about carrying gear so you feel prepared; it’s about knowing why it’s in your bag and making sure it actually aligns with the adventure. Between long days in the middle of nowhere for work and play, plus my formal SAR Medic training, I can confidently say that an off-the-shelf kit rarely cuts it when things actually go sideways. A solid first aid kit is dynamic, it should look very different for a quick evac lap than it does for a multi day. Looking forward to demystifying that with Canadian Outdoor Medical irl at the Arc'teryx Squamish Climbing Academy in a few weeks. We’re breaking down how to curate your kit starting with a nimble foundation to build upon.
