Rooted in nature. For people, outdoor brands, and life lived off the beaten path.

Our Van Conversion Business

My photography lead me to a few years of traveling the U.S. in both a van and a bus with my partner, John. Our unique style of builds eventually lead us to opening an off-grid conversion shop in Bend, Oregon where we design custom builds to get others on the road and connected to nature.

Hi, I’m Carly

Welcome friends! I’m Carly, a photographer inspired by nature and community. I work alongside people, mostly outside enjoying nature, for outdoor brands, special moments, and in beautiful spaces documenting the feeling of LIVING. I’ve spent a few years traveling full-time in a converted school bus. I still call the bus my home, but we now have roots growing in Bend, Oregon, where we started our off-grid conversion company called Cedar & Steel. It’s been really grounding staying in one place and exploring and creating in new ways.
