Snow Peak's Endless Horizon Campaign

Erin McGrady January 17, 2022

In the Summer of 2021, we drove our van to the coast to create imagery for Snow Peak’s Endless Horizon campaign. We camped in their Land Breeze Pro.4, grilled local shrimp on our Takibi Fire and Grill, rode bikes around Edisto Island, and even had time for a little bit of relaxing. This project was a great fit for us because we not only love Snow Peak gear (we use several of their products in van life and at home) but also because the project felt like an extension of our life. To read the full article and see more images, check out the full blog post with our words and images on Snow Peak’s website.

We are out and proud about being together and had the opportunity to share about our favorite LGBTQ+ safe spaces in Asheville!

Visit NC's Wine Your Way Press Trip

Erin McGrady October 7, 2021

We recently spent five days in the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina on assignment for Visit NC. The goal of the project was for us to capture the spirit of the wine industry in our home state. Our itinerary was jam-packed but we loved every single minute of it. We toured close to 25 different locations, met with various wine-makers and owners, tasted what they were making, and even had a couple of side adventures such as a waterfall hike to Carter Falls and a step back in time visiting Old Salem.

Food Photography + Van Life

Erin McGrady March 3, 2021

We love food and we love photography so naturally, we love combining the two any chance we get. ROVA Magazine, which dubs itself as The Magazine for Epic Road Trips, liked an idea we had for a story that involved finding and making local seafood on the Delmarva coast. (Delmarva is a mashup of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.) Our story was published in the April/May 2019 issue of the magazine. We have contributed four articles for them in the last two years.
