Our Story We’ve been taking photos and videos since long before mobile phones made it effortless. One birthday, AlisonJ gifted me a RICOH DSLR, and that simple gesture sparked a love for photography that still drives us today.
It was never about technical perfection—it was about capturing moments, seeing the world differently, and preserving the joy of discovery.
Why Woodsnaps? Over time, the question became: what do we do with all these moments? Once printed and tucked away in envelopes or albums, now stored on hard drives gathering dust, they deserved more than to be forgotten.
That’s how Woodsnaps.com was born—a part‑time initiative, an experiment in turning creative passion into something bigger. It’s our outlet for storytelling, photography, and video, with the added challenge of seeing how far it can go in helping to fund our travel habits.
