I will happily and gratefully watch anything you post! You have such an eye for beauty and detail and you tell wonderful stories. I love your self portrait work as well as your treks through the wilderness. You are such an inspiration! You keep doing what stirs your soul, you beautiful human you.
Hi, Elizabeth! Today I watched your video in the first time, and i like all that you do and how you do it. I think that the secret is in the balance of all parts, that you called. I live in Sibiria. We have a lot of beautiful places around. But your nature is just amazing, astonishing, fantastic and so on! Your technique of filming is perfect! And please talk with us from time to time, as you did it in this video. It's very warm and nice.
Wow. What the world needs now is Elizabeth Gadd. This is so organic and peaceful. Amazing film making chops. Girl, you got it going on. I just love your zen like personality without a hint of falseness. You have talent and creativity flowing out like your hair. When I look at you I kinda see myself. When I was your age I looked a little like you. The long hair thing. I am 70 now but back in the day…yowzer, I was a little forest nymph myself, a major tree hugger. I’m not up for long hikes anymore but thank you so much for inviting us along. My heart aches to do what you are doing. Enjoy your youth and take good care of yourself so later in life you will continue to live the life you love. I mean this in the most complementary way. You’re a freak of nature!
Hi Elizabeth! I've been a silent watcher for some time and I adore your cinematography and your warmth! Similar to many commenters here I think I would watch anything you post ❤Your eye for capturing the details and the stories you tell is magical! I have your beautiful self portraits as my background on my computer, and every time I look at it I'm reminded of a life outside of work & hustle :) I moved first time in my life outside of city into suburbs last year with my husband (in Ontario), and I'm really enjoying the small trails around our house. We eventually want to get a farm in a quiet place where we can be closer to nature. I really want to get into more about hiking and photography, and hoping to save to attend your retreats one year, and I'm a beginner in all of them. So both your tips about what gear to bring into hikes and more information about preparation and trails, and also your process of self portraits and your art would be immensely helpful if that's what you're leaning towards ❤I've seen some videos of yourself where you hiked alone and I really want to do those too, but feeling a bit nervous to start myself - Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures ❤
Amazing and magical video as always! It looks so so beautiful there. It made me so happy to hear how well Pepper is still keeping up and I love that he now demands to be hand fed haha! What a diva! It also makes me happy to see the jumper out in all these beautiful places ❤
I adore how you capture nature and I love to listen you just talk. So, follow your inner voice and I will be totally happy. Thank you..this insight from the other part of the world was so lovely❤️🍁🍂
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so much for all the amazing beauty and kindness you share here. I am always so excited when one of your videos comes up, so really just go with what inspires you most in this moment of time. Thank you so much , I loved seeing that bear but would have been so terrified if I had been in your shoes and so near , what an adventure ! Keep well and blessings to you from the south of France, Katrina
Hi Lizzy. I loved all of your video ideas. The way you capture your footage (foto or video) is breathtaking, magical and inspiring. I do really like the idea of “what gear to take on a hike etc etc”. I am an absolute beginner when it comes to photo and videography so perhaps a more detailed video “what gear I use for taking certain fotos/videos” would also be of great interest for me. However, as everyone mentioned already, you follow your heart and your spirit so whatever video you decide to post, I will be watching it for sure. THIS video made me cry; in a beautiful way. For a while now I experience this ‘pull towards the north’; I miss the seasons and cold and snow so watching this video I could ‘feel’ being there in the backcountry. Thank you for filling my little heart with what it currently yearns and I’m sending lots of warm spring sun to you from Australia. ❤
Awwwweeee wow, thank you SO much!! Reading this seriously made me so happy to know that my video could resonate with you and that you could "feel" being there in the backcountry. ❤ Gosh, that's a big compliment if I can make someone cry (in a good way, haha)! Truly, thank you. ❤ I hope you get the opportunity to follow that pull to the north! Sending love back down to you in Australia!
As an artist myself, your documentary style videos of spectacular destinations with the self portraits thrown in are my favourite. I love listening to your insightful narrative while looking at beautiful images. It speaks to my soul. I can think of no better way to start my day, than with a steaming hot coffee, watching your nature inspired videos. I currently live in the Middle East with nothing but sand and city, you are my pseudo nature fix. Keep making these beautiful videos 😍.
that Doggie is a warrior! I managed to get a 7 hour hike in with my 12 year old dog also in switzerland, and now hes 13 and energy levels are down. Cherish those moments and enjoy feeding him one kibble at a time!
I understand that so well, I've been cherishing every moment I can this year knowing it will likely be the last one for big adventures for little Pepper. Thank you, Santi! Love to you and your pup ❤
I visited Sweden this Summer and it was spectacular. Your creative retreats to Iceland sound so exciting. Much Love and peace to you all on this grand Mother Nature Journey 💖🌠🌼🌲✨
Thank you for sharing your beautiful videos, journies, photography, and self-portraits with us! I enjoy them all so much! All of them! As an artist myself I have such an appreciation for your work and creativity, thank you!❤
Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful place with us ! Through your artist's eyes, the world had become even more spectacular and magnificent and amazing!
I have been to Assiniboine in all seasons. But I think the Fall is the best. Beautiful to see it all again and to remember: meeting a grizzly and her two cubs, listening to a lone loon call out on Magog Lake as an eagle flew overhead, and sharing the sunrise with a marmot from the Nub. ... and yes, frightening thunderstorms (that also caused me to make an early exit from the park).
I love that that calm videos with beautiful landscapes and nature … enjoying the connection to nature through it especially when I can‘t be outside myself. ❤
As a back country hiker, nature lover and photographer myself, who also lives in Alberta, I would love to see more back country hiking adventures! Thanks for asking! I do love all your videos though and was so excited to have recently discovered your channel! 💖
I love your videos, but this one is maybe your best one, thank you so much for sharing such Beauty🤩 ... I'm personnally more interested in your artsy side, but a kind of a mix like that, as a journal, with stunning footages of wild lanscapes, anecdotes, and some lovely direct chat to explain us what seems important to you is perfect. For It fits you. Authenticity is the key, and you already have it.Hugs from France.
I love your backcountry videos - your eye for the scenery is beautiful to watch. But to be honest, I love all your videos - daily musings to tutorials!
What a beautiful video 😍. I would love to see a combination of your daily life when you're at home and the hikings that you do. But honestly I love everything you film 😊. Big hug from me in the Netherlands ❤
Thank you for this wonderful video from this amazingly beautiful landscape! I love the way you do it, and the storytelling! Just keep it on this path! Great work! 👍💫
Dear Elizabeth, thank you for another beautiful video - Pepper is a hero and deserves every single hand-fed piece of his food 😂 I love your camping videos as well as the journal with pieces of your everyday life - as someone else wrote here - I would watch it even if you just make a cup of tea 😂 So no matter what are the videos about, they always bring so much love, nature magic and your beautiful energy ❤❤❤
Thank you for the trip I got to see you make in the incredibly beautiful landscape. Nice video on the bear. However, I understand that it was quite scary with such close contact. It is nice to hear you tell about your life and adventures.
First and foremost, I love the yellow sweater. I think you are an amazing person and awesome creator. I get super giddy when I receive a new post notification from your channel. I think you should definitely create what your heart draws towards. We will support what you create. Thank you for sharing and being a inspiration in my creator journey ❤
Ahhhhhh thank you, Angel!!! You are too kind ❤🥰 That really means a lot!! And thank you for the sweater love, hehe. One of my best friends knitted it for me and I'm obsessed with it!! The best autumn sweater ever. 😍
Just wow. I NEED to visit Canada! 😍 About what kind of videos, I would love anything of what you mentioned! And I think you should just do whichever you feel for the most at the moment! Let your creativity choose direction for every video! 🥰
Come to Canada!! You would love it. 🥰 And thank you, Daniel! That means a lot, and you're so right - I will keep doing what I feel is right at each moment. 🥰
Thank you so much for yet another video full of magic and wholesomeness ♥️ To me there is something very special about when creators/artists create whatever they feel most passionate about or drawn to in that particular season of their life and just follow their inner calling even if they feel like they might be all over the place in terms of their art. That being said, I happily watch whatever you decide to share with us and based on all the other supportive comments I have read, it feels like there are many beautiful souls here who are feeling the same and support you for being you. Sending lots of love to you, Kris and Pepper.
Ahhhh thank you, Rahel!! That means so much! And I agree with you - there is something that just feels so right when artists and creators share what they're most passionate about, even if it's constantly changing, I think we're meant to follow these whims to grow and experience life more openly and fully. 🥰 All these beautiful comments resonate deeply and remind me to keep being me which has really helped! ❤ Sending love right back to you!!
Dear Elisabeth, I love your videos. I am interested in a combination of both, as you made it already, love to see nature and art. Thank you very much. I am from Austria 🧡
You have such an eye for beauty and you capture nature so well, I would watch anything - even something short and simple like making breakfast and some nature scenes :)
Ahhh perfect! You will love BC, it's (in my likely biased opinion) the most beautiful place on earth. I can't wait to make more videos about my favourite backpacking experiences here! 🥰
The quality of your videos is breathtaking. I love the beautiful, creative and inspiring feeling that they give me. I found your channel while researching videos about the Cape Wrath Trail, and I'm so glad I did! I also watched your West Coast Trail video and wow, this is breathtaking work. I love hiking and would for sure watch videos more geared towards that, but I just adore the escapism of your portraits and would also love to see more of that!!
Omg! You guys are so brave! I have no idea what i would do if a grizzly was on the path I needed to cross like that. But congratulations on that hike! That's a huge distance! I've done an eight hour one in Wells Gray Park and my feet were dying from that for days. 😅 ...I absolutely love whatever videos you do. Your photography videos are ethereal and your hiking videos make me feel like i'm on the adventure with you guys. Your down to earth kindness shines through whatever you do, so i'm here for whichever video style you choose to pursue ❤😊
My goodness I love these videos from you, thank you so so much for sharing with us! I am interested in seeing more of the challenges you must face, both in the camping trips themselves, and in documenting them with your amazing photography. I love seeing the struggles behind one’s art, I think it adds a richness to the final product. And honestly, I have never seen such beautiful photography as yours. The images you create of yourself out in the wilderness resonate deeply with me. Even if setting up a shot like that takes hours - even if it leaves you shivering or mosquito bitten, those images you’ve created hold such majesty to them that I can’t help but think you are following a divine calling. Also, I love when you just sit and chat with the camera. You’re a nice friend to have 🥰 So much love, from the east coast 🇨🇦❤️
Awwwwweee wow, thank you Erin! Your comment made me smile so much and means a lot to me! And now I feel extra inspired to go out and film in some of the more challenging moments to share what that's like. 😂 You're so right that it just brings more richness to the final products! (and plus, it feels good to just be downright real sometimes about the struggles, hahaha). Thank you again, Erin! Love to you from the west coast! ❤
@@ElizabethGaddPhotography 🥰🙏🩷 I still remember a video of yours where you ended up eating too much chocolate while waiting for the sun to set, and made yourself ill. Then you went on to film some of the most gorgeous imagery I’ve ever seen. It was THAT video when I decided I’d be a lifelong fan of yours 🤣
Beautiful video! I loved it all. Mount Assiniboine…wow. Some kind of Lord of the Rings/ancient saga/fortress of elders/stern-faced-holder-of-wisdom vibes there! The trailer version that you showed on IG was spectacular too, because the vertical format was so *chefs kiss* for the location. As to your last question - please yourself. Anything you want to talk about, or share, will be lovely. Every video of yours has landed perfectly for me and seemed to say just what I needed to hear in the moment. ...But if I did have a little nudge towards something, I think it would be about the mental side of taking these trips. The carving out of the time …The “allowing” that I struggle with so much. The clarity you seem to have about prioritizing this time… it is a fight I often lose.
I would love to see more backpacking videos! I’m very interested in what gear you bring. However, I would watch anything you decide to put up 😂 sending much love and magick from the Pacific Northwest 💚
Love everything! And gosh smiled so much at peppers eating :) Im more interested in your art and how you make self-potraits. I want you to have a whole course on it!!
This was so beautiful! I think tips on both are great! You should do whatever you want to do most! Maybe take turns one camping, one photography one video diary. I love your voice over thoughts and reflections, they really speak to my heart.
I love all of your videos, from the artsy ones to the chatty ones. I love seeing all the places you go as well as what it takes to get there. I was an early patreon person, and I’ve been excited to follow as you branched out into videos. ❤
I love everything you make. You inspire me deeply. I am a writer and painter myself and I get so happy watching people making there own amazing art. Makes me want to make mine. So please let yourself be let by whatever your heart wants to make.
I love this journal style with the beautiful video footage, but also the atory behind it all. I live on the east coast now but would love to know about amazing hikes and trips you do. I look forward to getting back to the rockies one day!
Absolutely unreal Lizzy! Those cotton fluff shots... wow. I can't believe you are able to hike out here from your home, what a dream! Where is your orangey dress from in the fluff shots?
Love love love I don't know what to say, but I enjoy everything you offer, and I watch with love until the end, and I am in a very beautiful state when the video ends, so I love everything you offer. I love your spontaneity and your unique way of creating these videos. I remember watching a video of yours, and it was about your routine at home, and I also enjoyed it and loved it. We love you as you are with everything that comes from you Note: I write through Google Translate, so sorry if there are any mistakes
I'm not sure if I got this right, but it sounds like you hiked out 20 miles in 1 go, with a heavy backpack, in that weather?? You rock girl! That is amazing!
Well I won't be of much help, I liked all the different types of videos you talked about. I've seen several (self portraits and this one) and I really enjoyed them. So...haha, keep up the great work.
dear elisabeth , thank you for asking …and inviting… i enjoy deeply the nature pictures … madeira was for me wonderfull too but in the end to much floating dress and self images i was more focused on the old trees i love also if you talk to us , and share your expieriance ! lots of love and thank‘s for sharing !
Hi Lizzie! This video was stunningly beautiful and I enjoyed seeing your adventures through the wilderness. 35 Km through snow and altitude in one day is quite amazing, and I'm glad the bear stayed away. These last two videos look different than your older ones. What gear are you using these days please? I enjoy all of your videos, but I think my favorite parts are 1) the nature scenes and your journey through them 2) showing your art process. I look forward to your next one!
Thank you Melanie!! ❤ That means a lot! I've been using Sony alpha camera gear for the last several years, and last year upgraded to a Sony a7R V, and I'm super happy with the video quality! I usually use a Sony 35mm f/1.8GM lens, or my Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 II GM (new to me, and I LOVE it!). The last two videos also have some clips that my partner Kris filmed on his Canon R5 , and he carried a huge 100-500mm lens with him, so most of the wildlife shots and super zoomed scenes were filmed with that. 😊
@@ElizabethGaddPhotography Thank you so much for sharing that!!! I’m a Sony girl too. I’m currently using an a7iii, but when I upgrade I’m definitely going to look at the A7R V! I do fine art and video as well and that camera sounds like a good match for me. I’m even more impressed that you carried all that gear through the snow and difficult terrain, all while dodging a grizzly 😲😎
Hi Elizabeth Gadd Mam Good morning and your are so beautiful so sweet voice ❣️ Love you, we are both of God family member always love you Mam. Our Lord Jesus Christ ✝️🙏 Amen ,Merry Christmas 🎄🎄 Mam ,l am form india. Roman Catholics Christan ,James Anthony ,God bless you ❤🖐️
Wonderful pics and impressions. Just felt the music too loud, would so much prefer just hearing your voice and listening to your words wich get a bit lost in that high volume sound (music)....🤷♀
I like the live film diary format of the event followed by you commenting of your overall experience. What I'd love to see also some times, is the behind the scene of your amazing self portraits in those beautiful settings. You're very inspiring.

Awwweee wow, that honestly really helps me feel a lot better taking any pressure off making videos, hehe. Thank you so much Alison. ❤🥰🍵
I will happily and gratefully watch anything you post! You have such an eye for beauty and detail and you tell wonderful stories. I love your self portrait work as well as your treks through the wilderness. You are such an inspiration! You keep doing what stirs your soul, you beautiful human you.
I echo everything Jaime has so eloquently stated.
Ahhh thank you Jaime, truly! That really means a lot to me. ❤❤❤ I will follow your advice and keep sharing what stirs my soul in the moment! 🥰

Nature is most definitely the master class. thank you for your wonderful art.✨such beauty, nature is the way.🌲🌖🌌

You can do them all! different styles! Anything! 😄 Pepper is just so cute again. Need to be fed by hand just like my dog. 🐶
What a super video. Love cinema photography. Nicely done.

Love this, such beautiful shots Elizabeth! Captured it perfectly as always.
Ahhh, thank you so much Andrew! ❤️
Absolutely love all that you do. Backpacking videos with tips and gear would be amazing. 😊
Yes to more backpacking video! It would be quite helpful: we are planning to visit BC and we love hiking so it will be the perfect combo 😘
Ahhh perfect! You will love BC, it's (in my likely biased opinion) the most beautiful place on earth. I can't wait to make more videos about my favourite backpacking experiences here! 🥰

Your photography videos are ethereal and your hiking videos make me feel like i'm on the adventure with you guys. Your down to earth kindness shines through whatever you do, so i'm here for whichever video style you choose to pursue ❤😊
My goodness I love these videos from you, thank you so so much for sharing with us!
I am interested in seeing more of the challenges you must face, both in the camping trips themselves, and in documenting them with your amazing photography. I love seeing the struggles behind one’s art, I think it adds a richness to the final product. And honestly, I have never seen such beautiful photography as yours. The images you create of yourself out in the wilderness resonate deeply with me. Even if setting up a shot like that takes hours - even if it leaves you shivering or mosquito bitten, those images you’ve created hold such majesty to them that I can’t help but think you are following a divine calling.
Also, I love when you just sit and chat with the camera. You’re a nice friend to have 🥰
So much love, from the east coast 🇨🇦❤️
Awwwwweee wow, thank you Erin! Your comment made me smile so much and means a lot to me! And now I feel extra inspired to go out and film in some of the more challenging moments to share what that's like. 😂 You're so right that it just brings more richness to the final products! (and plus, it feels good to just be downright real sometimes about the struggles, hahaha). Thank you again, Erin! Love to you from the west coast! ❤

I still remember a video of yours where you ended up eating too much chocolate while waiting for the sun to set, and made yourself ill. Then you went on to film some of the most gorgeous imagery I’ve ever seen. It was THAT video when I decided I’d be a lifelong fan of yours 🤣
Beautiful video! I loved it all. Mount Assiniboine…wow. Some kind of Lord of the Rings/ancient saga/fortress of elders/stern-faced-holder-of-wisdom vibes there! The trailer version that you showed on IG was spectacular too, because the vertical format was so *chefs kiss* for the location.
As to your last question - please yourself. Anything you want to talk about, or share, will be lovely. Every video of yours has landed perfectly for me and seemed to say just what I needed to hear in the moment.
...But if I did have a little nudge towards something, I think it would be about the mental side of taking these trips. The carving out of the time …The “allowing” that I struggle with so much. The clarity you seem to have about prioritizing this time… it is a fight I often lose.
I would love to see more backpacking videos! I’m very interested in what gear you bring. However, I would watch anything you decide to put up 😂 sending much love and magick from the Pacific Northwest 💚
It’s absolutely magical 🤩 love it Gadd
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! Your trek out sure sounds like an adventure!!! Impressive! 🌨️🐻💪🫶
You are amazing and a beautiful video as always! If I had to choose, I would love to see more backcountry and video journals 💕
Love everything! And gosh smiled so much at peppers eating :) Im more interested in your art and how you make self-potraits. I want you to have a whole course on it!!
This was so beautiful! I think tips on both are great! You should do whatever you want to do most! Maybe take turns one camping, one photography one video diary. I love your voice over thoughts and reflections, they really speak to my heart.
Ahhhh thank you, Susie!! 😍
I love all of your videos, from the artsy ones to the chatty ones. I love seeing all the places you go as well as what it takes to get there. I was an early patreon person, and I’ve been excited to follow as you branched out into videos. ❤
Ahhhh wow, thank you!! It means a lot to have your support and to see you following along on these newer video ventures, hehe! ❤
Yes, more back country camping videos
Thank you for this beautiful video. As to what you should do going forward, follow your heart. And stay safe.
I love everything you make. You inspire me deeply. I am a writer and painter myself and I get so happy watching people making there own amazing art. Makes me want to make mine. So please let yourself be let by whatever your heart wants to make.
This was a great video as usual. I love following you on your adventures!!
Such a gorgeous video! Wow! 🥰
I love this journal style with the beautiful video footage, but also the atory behind it all. I live on the east coast now but would love to know about amazing hikes and trips you do. I look forward to getting back to the rockies one day!
Absolutely unreal Lizzy! Those cotton fluff shots... wow. I can't believe you are able to hike out here from your home, what a dream! Where is your orangey dress from in the fluff shots?
Thank you so much!! The dress is from Kayame, one of my favourite ever organic and eco-conscious clothing companies. 🥰
Love love love
I don't know what to say, but I enjoy everything you offer, and I watch with love until the end, and I am in a very beautiful state when the video ends, so I love everything you offer. I love your spontaneity and your unique way of creating these videos. I remember watching a video of yours, and it was about your routine at home, and I also enjoyed it and loved it. We love you as you are with everything that comes from you
Note: I write through Google Translate, so sorry if there are any mistakes
Ahhhh thank you, Fatima!! That really means so much to me! ❤
I love the video journals ❤️

Absolutely stunning. Beautifully created video. You have gained a new subscriber! 💕
Ahhhh thank you!!
You are a GREAT artist ❤️❤️
I'm not sure if I got this right, but it sounds like you hiked out 20 miles in 1 go, with a heavy backpack, in that weather?? You rock girl! That is amazing!
Just Wow!!
Perfect 👌✨
Love From Pakistan...💕🤝🏻🇵🇰🇵🇰

Well I won't be of much help, I liked all the different types of videos you talked about. I've seen several (self portraits and this one) and I really enjoyed them. So...haha, keep up the great work.

Hi Lizzie! This video was stunningly beautiful and I enjoyed seeing your adventures through the wilderness. 35 Km through snow and altitude in one day is quite amazing, and I'm glad the bear stayed away. These last two videos look different than your older ones. What gear are you using these days please? I enjoy all of your videos, but I think my favorite parts are 1) the nature scenes and your journey through them 2) showing your art process. I look forward to your next one!
Thank you Melanie!! ❤ That means a lot!
I've been using Sony alpha camera gear for the last several years, and last year upgraded to a Sony a7R V, and I'm super happy with the video quality! I usually use a Sony 35mm f/1.8GM lens, or my Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 II GM (new to me, and I LOVE it!). The last two videos also have some clips that my partner Kris filmed on his Canon R5 , and he carried a huge 100-500mm lens with him, so most of the wildlife shots and super zoomed scenes were filmed with that. 😊
@@ElizabethGaddPhotography Thank you so much for sharing that!!! I’m a Sony girl too. I’m currently using an a7iii, but when I upgrade I’m definitely going to look at the A7R V! I do fine art and video as well and that camera sounds like a good match for me. I’m even more impressed that you carried all that gear through the snow and difficult terrain, all while dodging a grizzly 😲😎
I'd be interested in the hiking and gear and trail idea you had.
Please share more backcountry videos, the beauty, and how you record them.
Also, what is the glorious tasting tea you love?
Hello from Estonia 🇪🇪

Wonderful pics and impressions. Just felt the music too loud, would so much prefer just hearing your voice and listening to your words wich get a bit lost in that high volume sound (music)....🤷♀
Magnificently filmed with spell binding story telling 🙏🏻🫶🏻
I love everything you share! Follow your heart and passion 😊
I like the live film diary format of the event followed by you commenting of your overall experience.
What I'd love to see also some times, is the behind the scene of your amazing self portraits in those beautiful settings.
You're very inspiring.
Ahhh, thank you so much!! I would LOVE to share more behind the scenes from the self portrait shoots. I'm feeling extra inspired to do that soon! 🥰
