Seldovia Over the Years Video

When I started making a video of our trip to Seldovia last summer, I was struck by how incomplete it was in capturing the vast array of memories we have from our visits over the years. I completed it (you can watch it here), then slowly started searching through old photos and videos, and compiling…

Video Recap of the 2026 Gold Nugget

One of the trademarks of springtime is preparing for and participating in the Gold Nugget. All year, but especially in the springtime, I can frequently be found telling my friends how much I love the Gold Nugget. I do love the variety of activities that a triathlon weaves together, but even more than that, I…

Our Alaskan Spring Break Excursion

For the last decade, our typical spring break tradition has been heading out on the Iditarod trail to follow the race by plane. This year, we decided to switch it up and head to McCarthy to hang out at Wes’s dad’s cabin, visit friends, and enjoy the deep snow that had accumlated there this year.…

McCarthy Cabin Build-Delivery

McCarthy, Alaska, is a small town in Alaska, approximately six hours from Anchorage, and in the middle of the wilderness and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. While there’s a few restaurants and various guide outfitters, there’s no grocery store and definitely no hardware store anywhere nearby. When Woodsen’s dad, Wes, decided he was ready to…

A Video Snapshot of our Summer 2025 Adventures

It’s mid-December, and although there’s no snow on the ground and much more wind than I prefer, my spot by the fire is cozy, and I’ve been enjoying working on my yearly photo-related winter projects. I’m close to finishing up the yearly photo book (finally got caught up this year), I’ve sent out our Christmas…

Ninilchik Over the Years- Video

As I went back through our 2025 adventures and slowly made movies for our family to enjoy, I kept skipping over a couple of places, one of which was Ninilchik. Making a video from just the videos of our trip to the beach that year didn’t feel like it captured what Ninilchik meant to us.…

For Memorial Day weekend, we made our annual pilgrimage to Port Allsworth to see friends and enjoy the Sourdough fly-in. On the way home, we had a mid-flight meltdown and decided to land in Lake Clark Pass. It turned out to be the best impromptu stop we’ve made in a while.

Valdez Adventure Video 2025

Every year, our first trip of the summer is flying to Valdez, Alaska, for their well-known fly-in and STOL competition. This year, we headed to Valdez a day early, and my friend Kate took us out on her boat, where we pulled crab pots and enjoyed a nearby beach. After a fun day adventuring in…

Alaska to Oshkosh Teaser Video

At the beginning of the trip we found a song that everyone liked and the kids wanted to listen to over and over. It became a bit of a theme song to our trip, so it seemed fitting to turn it into a movie recap of our adventure. The only problems is that its rather…
