Our Adventures!


Dead Birds and Food
Finally! It’s happening. Our final adventure of 2024 is finally underway. “Dead Birds and Food” – the name might be a little… edgy, but it perfectly captures the blend of wildlife photography and culinary exploration we’re aiming for. Dead Birds and Food: Day 1 - Pelicans, Pursuits, and Photographic Fails Jen set off from Arenas Valley, Ali from Las Cruces, and we met in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico (T or C for short). Our first mission? Find a groovy retro motel – think

"Roadkill with sentimental value!"
📷📷 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY OTHER HALF OF THE TWO LOST GIRLS JEN! To my favorite partner in crime, fellow wanderer, and wildest adventure buddy — life is definitely better, louder, and WAY more scenic with you in it! Here’s to another year of chasing horizons, getting slightly lost (or completely lost), collecting ridiculous stories, picking up rocks like they’re priceless treasures, and never actually finishing a hike because we’re too busy stopping every five feet to take pic

What if the backdrop collapses and traps a lowrider under a mountain of vinyl?
It was a standard Tuesday, or Wednesday, or whenever the universe decides to drop a sudden operational crisis into your lap. My phone buzzed.

Go check it out and show her some love over at tmlssphotographs.zenfoliosite.com.

😱 The Great Mystery Meat Adventure of Cloudcroft! 📸
Our latest "professional" photo shoot in Las Cruces was followed by a spontaneous, highly suspicious adventure! Timmie and I, along with our willing victim, Ali, decided to chase the elusive fall colors and some photogenic wildlife in Cloudcroft. We got both, and a trauma we will never forget. Day 1: The Bunk, the Barf, and the Blurry Moon We kicked off our 'budget-chic' getaway by checking into a hostel ! Yes, a hostel. Jen has photographed the sign for years, so it was tim

Lost, Lenses, and Laughs: How Two Harley Riders Conquered Colorado (Mostly)
Our first selfie together. Our maiden adventure! Ali - my schedule just cleared up! Jen - Really? Ali - Yes, I can go with you on your annual birthday trip! and...that is how it all began! And just like that a wonderful friendship was born! Apparently, all it takes is eight years, a mutual friend, two Harleys, and a casual suggestion to "take some pictures" to kickstart an epic adventure. That's how Ali and I, Jen, found ourselves planning a trip that would lead to Colorad
