Hey there It’s Ashley & Sarah.
We’re a lot like you! Two ladies that have been struggling our way through life and found each other while exploring the Appalachian foothills of this Tennessee Valley Region in Northeast Alabama. Together, we’ve found delightfully healing places to take photos with jaw-dropping surprises around every corner. This region has been our home for many years now – but it’s not just any old place; this area offers up some of northeast Alabama’s most diverse landscape with breathtaking views that are out-of-this world gorgeous. No matter what time of year or weather condition you’re experiencing at present moment (which also happens to make exploring these woods rather picturesque) you will find rest, here. If things seem too daunting on your own? No worries because as soon as someone says “outdoor girls” you can be sure we will show you exactly where to go…
