about:

Sadie here! Born and raised in the wild wonderland of Idaho, I grew up chasing sunsets and summits with my adventure-loving fam. They passed down a love for nature that I still carry with me today while adventuring with my husband, Chase, and our pup Meru (trail queen, snack stealer, all-around legend). We spend our time trail running, backpacking, rock climbing, camping, and road-tripping in our van.

I’m a University of Idaho grad turned full-time wedding photographer. Even when I’m off the clock, you’ll still find me behind the lens—capturing genuine moments and creating content I’m truly passionate about. And wherever we roam, you can bet there’s a few Payette brews packed to toast the good times. 

favorite outdoor activities:

Trail running, skiing, backpacking, rock climbing, camping, traveling

favorite adventure:

Backpacking the Tour du Mont Blanc—118 miles, 38,000 feet of elevation gain, and three countries (France, Italy, and Switzerland) in just 7 days! It was a once-in-a-lifetime trek with my husband, Chase, who jumped on board with the idea just four weeks before we left. Europe’s mountain views were unreal, and the croissants got us through the entire trip! 

dream destination:

Backpacking New Zealand with my husband and our group of friends!

if you could be an animal, what would you be:

I’d be a river otter—curious, playful, and always chasing the next adventure. Plus, otters hold hands when they nap, and that kind of connection just feels right.

FAVORITE PAYETTE product:

I am a firm believer that nothing can beat a crisp AnyTimer Moscow Mule after a long day on the trail.
