Who we are
Meet Jane and Amy. Together with their friends and partners, they are LAND Hike.
Jane describes herself as being most at peace behind the camera. Her passion is to create emotive imagery that captures that beautiful memory being made at the moment she clicks the shutter.
Originally from Derbyshire in the UK, for Jane, photography has been part of her life for as long as she can remember. Jane loves to explore the Hudson Valley, Catskills and Adirondacks, plus further afield. Discovering the perfect location for that breathtaking shot makes all the climbs with a heavy photography pack worth it. And sharing those secrets with you is her goal with LAND Hike. Jane lives in the Hudson Valley.
Amy is a nature lover and has been hiking since she was small. Growing up in the beautiful Peak District area of the UK, Amy and her family regularly hiked hills and dales on weekends, usually in ‘wellies’ and whatever she happened to be wearing that day. Despite some ‘how much further’ agonizing, Amy looks back on those days as a formative part of her childhood where she had a chance to explore her own power and capability. Hiking in the USA is a wonderful evolution of this early passion. Amy is a DEC NY licensed backcountry guide and certified first aider. She lives in the Hudson Valley.
“After the hard yards of climbing, scrambling and plodding uphill to a summit (no matter how high it really is!), there is nothing like that moment of peace as the vista opens up, you catch your breath and are reminded of the glory of nature.”
“Everyone has the power to explore, discover and enjoy the wonders around us."
