Erin is an experienced and passionate photographer who specializes in capturing unique moments with her signature Western North Carolina (WNC) style. Her love for nature and the outdoors has been a lifelong passion, but it was heightened when her son was born three years ago, sparking her obsession with adventure photography.

While working full time in healthcare, Erin spends her free time immersing herself in various outdoor activities such as hiking, backpacking, camping, canoeing, and gardening. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Erin made the decision to trade city life for a serene three-acre property in Western North Carolina. "We live 10 mins from the Blue Ridge Parkway and I can’t wait to explore it more. We always have a list of places to visit – currently Jamaica and Ireland are at the top of our list," she says.

Erin's favorite Product of the North product is the Elkin Diaper Bag, and it has become an indispensable companion in her parenting journey. She says, "we have used it daily and for adventures for 3 years and it still looks new! The stroller straps were also amazing when our son was younger."

We look forward to witnessing the incredible adventures that Erin and her family have planned this year, and we can't wait to be inspired by their journey.

To Sierra, family is all about love and adventure. The self-proclaimed Roundy Rangers include husband Blake, son Theodore, and daughter Sophronia. This fun bunch loves to laugh a lot, wrestle, work together, and go on adventures big and small!

When she’s not “momming,” Sierra can be found doing her favorite things– reading or hiking. One of her biggest a-ha moments was realizing that she and Blake didn’t have to stop enjoying the outdoors because of the kids but could bring them along for the adventure. Her favorite outdoor spots include the mountains, beach, or lake. 

Sierra is motivated and inspired by her husband, who loves to learn new things and has never given up on his hobbies. Her next big goals include learning to skateboard and finishing her physical training education. 

As we all know, parenting comes with many highs and lows. For Sierra, her biggest challenge was overcoming postpartum depression. She credits her husband for helping her through it. Her greatest mom accomplishment? Instilling a deep love of reading and the outdoors in her children. Next up on their adventure list includes exploring Yosemite and Hawaii.

While there may be other family-centered diaper bag companies, Sierra’s choice was simple when opting for POTN. She will continue to choose POTN, “because we only have one earth, we should take care of it!” We couldn’t agree more.

Lyndsey is outnumbered in her house full of boys, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. 

A boy mom of two, her favorite place to spend a day would be anywhere in the world with her family, including her husband Chris, sons Wyatt and Griffin, and her two dogs, Eddie and Doc.

When asked what it takes to balance her adventurous life with motherhood, she says what a lot of us parents have been thinking for a while, “those who think life is balance are lying.” The best part of juggling it all is having the support of her husband. She says, “he’s amazing, and I couldn’t do it without him.” Strong partnerships are the key to making life sweeter and easier for sure. 

When Lyndsey is not spending time with the ones she loves, you can find her outdoors. There may be nothing better than shredding snow on her favorite mountains in the colder months. 

As a working mom, she adores her job and believes she’s found the perfect mix of providing fulfilling work and aligning with her passions and values. She says, “Working in marketing in the action sports and outdoor industry has been a great way to pursue my career passionately. I started in the surf industry in California for Quiksilver and Oniel, then to Skullcandy, and now I'm the Director of Brand Marketing at Kodiak Cakes. It's kind of been a dream ride.”

Her unwavering piece of mom advice? Raise them kind, confident and adventurous. We couldn’t agree more. 

Natashia is a spirited and adventurous soul who finds joy in every moment life has to offer. Whether she's hiking in the picturesque mountains of Colorado, paddle boarding on the tranquil rivers of Austin, or simply spending time on the beach, Natashia's connection with the outdoors is palpable.

One of Natashia's true passions is cooking. Food holds a special place in her heart, and she sees it as a way to express her love and creativity. With a desire to constantly expand her culinary horizons, she eagerly experiments with new recipes, flavors, and ingredients. Natashia's love for food knows no bounds.

As a parent, Natashia embodies a philosophy that growing a family should not hinder one's desire for adventure and exploration. "Exploring the world is a great form of education for a growing mind, and we cannot wait to continue sharing our joy of adventure and exploration, along with being active with our son and future children. We make it a priority to move our bodies every day, because staying active helps keep a healthy mind, and it teaches them that being active is a fun and healthy thing to do," she says.

Natashia and her husband are also travel enthusiasts. Her #1 travel tip - "I’ve learned to pack light - which I'm still working on… haha! You can always find what you need one way or another, but it's so much easier to get around with less!" We agree! Some of her favorite travel destinations are Tulum, Mexico and New York City. A great mix of beach and city.
