A Tour Guide & Photographer

Adventure Session in Southern Utah

Take your significant other, family, and friends on a customized adventure in the wilderness! I customize all the sessions for the scenery and vibe you want! This is a true adventure session, where we will take cool photos but also spend a lot of time exploring, hiking, offroading, and seeing really cool places! If you want pine trees and rivers I got a place, if you want joshua trees with a desert sunset I got a place for that too! If you want mesa overlooks, towering red rocks, or even hidden adobes I can make that happen! I’m down to do a long hike, a day at the lake, offroading, a campfire, or any other fun activities you want! At the end of the day I just want you to have a memorable, fun experience, and I’ll capture the experience so you can have the memories forever! That’s what I love to do and I’m happy to customize your adventure so you have the best time!

300+ Spots

I’ve created a map of over 300+ spots in Southern Utah, plenty of locations to choose from!

 

southern utah tour and photographer combo

 

It would be expensive to hire a tour guide and a photographer separately. Tour guiding companies will charge anywhere between $150 per person - $1000 + per person depending on the tour. A photographer would be anywhere between $100 - $800+ per session depending on who you hire. I drastically cut these costs by offering both services in the same session! I am already very passionate about showing people this amazing area, but I bring my camera with me to take amazing photos as well!

Don’t know what location you want? Here are some suggestions.

 

Kolob Canyon

Absolutely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. Towering red rocks, canyons, and creeks surround you. This is a super underrated part of Zion National Park.

Gooseberry Mesa

The view from the top of this mesa is unreal! You can see a panoramic view of Zion with Pine Mountain on the other side. The drive is beautiful and there are Mongolian Yurts at the top.

Grass Valley

Grass Valley is home to a huge reservoir that turns into an underground river. Located north of Pine Mountain you get beautiful mountain views and access to rivers and streams everywhere. There are old windmills and caves as well!

 

Mojave Desert Scenic Byway

Joshua trees are actually really sweet! The Mojave Desert Scenic Byway takes you through old highway 91 and out through Gunlock. The desert landscapes and views are some of my favorite. Desolate, remote land and a lot of hidden gems make this one of my favorites.

Oak Grove

Oak grove is a drastic change from the desert scenery that most of Southern Utah has. It has tall pine trees, lots of green, pinecones, and the trailhead to Signal Peak, which is the tallest peak in Washington County. It’s one of my absolute favorite spots to camp!

Smith Mesa

This mesa is everything! It has a panoramic view of Zion and Kolob, it takes your breath away! I’ve been slacklining up here, camped, and gone offroading! It has rolling green fields with lots of cattle which you would not expect going on top of a desert mesa!

 

Baker Reservoir

Baker is a quiet little reservoir north of Pine Mountain. It’s great for trout fishing and canoeing! The Holmstead Ranch is a little above it, and there are lots of animals, mini cabins, and camping spots! It’s a great lake to get away from the craziness of the more crowded beaches.

Modena

Modena is a ghost town about an hour north of St. George. The famous transcontinental railroad goes right through this tiny town where only about 20 people live now. Great western vibes are in this town and you can even see a huge abandoned hotel right in the middle of it!

Kolob Terrace

This is one of the best drives of all time. I love this place so much it’s where I decided to take my bridals. The views of Zion are about as good as it gets from the outside, and there are gigantic, towering cliffs of red rock all around you. There are also giant wheat fields and old cabins on a road that ends up taking you to the mountains!
