Okay friends, I think it’s time. ❤️

What started as a fun experiment has quickly turned into something Joe and I are really enjoying.

Where the Road Goes is our new YouTube channel where we’re combining our travels, photography, adventures and original AI-assisted music to tell the stories of the places we’ve explored together.

We’ve got several songs and videos up now, and there are definitely more coming—including one I’m already thinking about from our adventures through Onion Creek.

If you’ve enjoyed following our travels over the years, we’d love to have you come along for this new chapter.

Please head over, subscribe to the channel, and see where the road goes with us. ❤️🎶📷

Welcome to Where the Road Goes — where real adventures inspire original music. Our songs are inspired by the places we explore, the roads we travel, and those moments when we look at each other and wonder, “Where does that road go?” From Utah’s red-rock backcountry and rugged 4-wheel-drive t...

I think we found our favorite. ❤️🎶

Of the songs Joe and I have created for our adventures so far, “Layers of Time” is by far my favorite.

This one feels different because it brings together so many things I love—photography, history, geology, exploring the backroads, and wondering about all the lives and worlds that existed here long before us.

The Colorado Plateau has become such a huge part of our adventures. We photograph dinosaur country where giants once roamed, ancient rock art and dwellings left by people who called this land home, rivers that have spent millions of years carving through stone, and layer upon layer of earth telling a story far older than we can truly comprehend.

And somewhere in all of that history are Joe and me—traveling those roads together, cameras in hand, trying to capture our little piece of it.

One line really sums up what this song means to me:

They left their stories in stone.
We leave ours in photographs.

Someday we’ll just be another tiny moment in those layers of time, too. But right now, we get to explore it together. ❤️

I hope you enjoy this one as much as we do.

Well… I did it again! 😁

After having so much fun creating our first AI-assisted song and video, “See Where This Road Goes,” I knew I wanted to try something a little different for the next one.

This time I took ONE of our actual adventures — our off-road trip to Chicken Corners OHV outside Moab, Utah — and turned the experience into its own song.

The red dirt. The Colorado River. Those massive canyon walls. Our Bison looking tiny against the landscape. And, of course, that constant question Joe and I seem to ask…

“What’s around the next corner?”

The song “Chicken Corners” was created around our experience, and then I used my photographs from the trip to build the video.

I think I may have found a whole new way to revisit some of the thousands of photographs sitting in my archives — and I’m having way too much fun with it!

Now the question is… which adventure should I turn into a song next?

Well… I did a thing! 😁

Joe and I have always been the kind of people who can be driving along, spot a road disappearing off into the distance and ask, “Where does that road go?”

And quite often… we go find out.

That became the inspiration for a little creative experiment that turned into something much bigger than I originally planned.

I took the stories and experiences from some of our real adventures, combined them with my photography and drone work, and started experimenting with AI to create original music and visuals around those memories.

The result is Where the Road Goes — and our first original song and music video, “See Where This Road Goes.”

This first song was inspired by our adventures exploring Utah — the backroads, red dirt, incredible landscapes, cameras in hand, the Bison getting us places most people never see, and that constant curiosity about what’s around the next bend.

And I think we’ve found something we’re going to have a lot of fun with.

Going forward, I’d love to use Where the Road Goes as another way to tell the stories of our travels. Some songs may reach back to adventures we’ve already had and photographs I’ve never really told the full story behind. But I’m especially excited about creating them around our future trips — collecting the photos, drone footage, little moments and stories along the way and then turning the whole adventure into an original song and video when we get home.

It’s photography, travel, storytelling, music and a little AI creativity all rolled together.

No idea exactly where this will lead.

But I suppose that’s rather appropriate. 😉

Let’s see where this road goes.

Our very first video is now up on YouTube:

Joe and I thoroughly enjoyed spending last week in Port Aransas, Texas, enjoying some beach time with my brother Brian and sis-in-law Jeannie, who joined us from Georgetown, Texas. And, of course, my camera was never very far away!

Shortly after we arrived, Mother Nature added a little extra excitement to the week. A hurricane well out in the Gulf was stirring things up enough to bring higher tides, bigger waves and plenty of wind to the shoreline — which also made for some pretty interesting photography conditions.

Between the rough Gulf waters, colorful kites filling the sky, coastal birds, gorgeous light over the water, and simply enjoying time together, I found plenty of reasons to keep reaching for my camera.

Here are just a few of my favorite Port Aransas beach vibes from the week. It was definitely fun trading Colorado’s mountains and Utah's desert landscapes for a little sand, surf and salty air!

Following up on yesterday’s sneak peek: Here are my finished favorite images from Thursday’s fall-color adventure in the San Juan Mountains with Colorful Colorado Collective hosted by Lars Leber Photography, and Jay Briggs!

As I worked through these photographs, I found myself appreciating the day’s lessons all over again. A special thank-you to Lars for encouraging me to think outside my usual box and explore close-ups. Those smaller details offered a fresh perspective alongside the sweeping mountain views I love to capture!

And a huge thank-you to Jay for sharing tips and tricks for my drone photography— I’m looking forward to putting those ideas into practice on future outings!

Thank you again to Colorful Colorado Collective for a day filled with beautiful scenery, learning, and good company. My husband Joe and I came home with wonderful memories and plenty of inspiration!

A sneak peek from the day-long photography road trip my hubby Joe and I attended this past Thursday via Colorful Colorado Collective with Lars Leber Photography & Jay Briggs!

A big shout-out to Lars, Jay, and Colorful Colorado Collective for putting together such a well-organized day! We appreciated the knowledge you share!

If you’ve been hesitating to book with this group, don’t hesitate—just book! Joe and I felt welcomed, valued, and treated with the utmost respect. This was my second adventure with CCC, Joe I will be back and we highly recommend them!

These are just a few of my quickly processed images, with many more waiting for me to go through. I’m excited to share more once I have a little time!

An evening of street photography in downtown Fruita!

This past Friday eve, September 25, I joined Colorado Plateau Photographers for an evening of watching for the moments that happen between the planned ones: a conversation at the market, a skateboarder in motion, families gathered together, and friends stopping for a photo by a colorful mural.

It was a fun change of pace, and I enjoyed seeing how many different stories unfolded in just one evening. Excited for my next lesson with this group.

Fall in the San Juan Mountains, photographed this past Saturday, September 26.

Golden aspens, pockets of fiery orange, and mountain reflections at Crystal Lake made for a beautiful day along Colorado’s Million Dollar Highway. This collection brings together some of my favorite views from the trip.
