Anna Cook
Hi, I’m Anna! I am a Utah-based lifestyle and travel photographer, toddler mom, and founder of Outside With Us. I created this space because I believe in the power of women coming together outdoors, whether we’re camping under the stars, road-tripping through national parks, or exploring new cultures halfway across the world.
Our trips range from casual weekend escapes to full-blown international adventures, but at the heart of every one is connection, community, and a shared love for getting outside. I’m here to create welcoming, joy-filled experiences where you can be yourself, try something new, and walk away with unforgettable memories and lifelong friends. I can’t wait to explore with you!
