Who we are:
We are a proud woman owned whitewater photography small business, promoting the Upper Yough and providing quality photos for the awesome community that we paddle our home river with.
Please always be respectful of the river and each other out there. It is a narrow section of river that fills up quick, especially on those busy days.
The Upper Yough is a special place where both friends and family’s get to experience the wilderness and epic challenging whitewater thanks to the work of the original UY paddlers.

Times noted on calendar are RELEASE times, not when you should be putting on. Water reaches put-in 2 hours after release typically. The speed of this changes depending on natural flow.

Put-on between
12:15pm – 2:00pm*
11:00 Releases
Put-on between
1:15pm – 3:00pm*
If you put on earliest time, take your time, or you will pass the bubble. If you put on the latest time, watch for dropping water!
*Always keep an eye out for the bubble*
If it seems really bouldery, or you pass Precision Rafting, you are probably ahead of it. The river will get really choked up.

About uS
We are two ladies who wanted to capture photos of all the awesome people who get out there on the Upper Yough. We created Upper Yough Photo a month before the first release of the season in 2021, and the success that followed is thanks to all of the cool folks who love the Upper Yough as much as we do!
Thanks to everyone who has supported our business and we are excited to see you out there on the water!
🙂
Keep a lookout for us out there on the rocks!
CARA GIANNONE
Art, kayaking, graphic design, and just generally getting outside time have always been a main focus of my life. Photography was in line with those interests, as well as a tool for keeping memories. I was that person always taking pictures growing up.
I am super glad that I get to capture the river memories for those people that come down the river so they can see themselves out there enjoying the day!
CHRISTINA KOSSIS
Photography was my first love and then I discovered kayaking. Finding a way to combine those two things and share it with the community on one of my favorite rivers in the world has been one of the most fun and rewarding things I have ever done.

Or if you just want to remember him and be inspired by this fireball of a local paddler!
We love and miss you Tommy.
For Tommy.
A well loved and known Upper Yough local and long time paddler, friend of UYP and many others around here, member of an awesome and loving close family, Tommy Piros passed on July 18, 2023 from a tragic accident.
Let’s continue the stoke out there.
