Alison Teal Blehert-Koehn
I wear many hats … well … many bikinis.

Growing up around homeschooled by my explorer parents, the world was my classroom and I learned through experiential education in the areas of photography, adventure, survival, and story telling and developed a true love for learning.
I graduated from University of Southern California Film School and with a camera under one arm and a surfboard under the other, saddled up my camel and set off on my own adventures hoping to make an inspirational film series that would introduce views to the amazing people I grew up with.
At first, I filmed everything myself, and then I realized that tribal peoples really liked talking to me and showing me their secrets and as my global family expanded, it was difficult to film and be present to listen to them at the same time – I came to the conclusion that in order to really dive into the lives of these characters and impart their wisdom and humor to the audience, I had to be IN my own films…and thus Alison’s Adventures was born with the volunteer support of the beyond-talented individuals listed below.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row us_bg_image=”4784″ us_bg_parallax=”vertical” us_bg_parallax_reverse=”1″ us_bg_image_source=”media”][vc_column width=”1/3″][us_single_image image=”4113″ align=”center” size=”medium” link=”” onclick=”lightbox”][us_separator type=”invisible” icon=”fas|star”][us_social_links align=”left” size=”17px” color=”text” style=”outlined” items=”%5B%7B%22type%22%3A%22email%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22info%40sarahleephotography.com%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22facebook%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Ffacebook.com%5C%2Fsarahleephoto%5C%2F%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22twitter%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Ffacebook.com%5C%2Fhisarahlee%5C%2F%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22google%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fplus.google.com%5C%2F%2BSarahLeephoto%5C%2F%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22linkedin%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fwww.linkedin.com%5C%2Fin%5C%2Fhisarahlee%5C%2F%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22vimeo%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fvimeo.com%5C%2Fsarahlee%5C%2F%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22flickr%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fflickr.com%5C%2Fphotos%5C%2Fclashed%5C%2F%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22behance%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fwww.behance.net%5C%2Faloha%5C%2F%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22instagram%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Finstagram.com%5C%2Fhisarahlee%5C%2F%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22pinterest%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fwww.pinterest.com%5C%2Fhisarahlee%5C%2F%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22tumblr%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fhisarahlee.tumblr.com%22%7D%5D” shape=”rounded”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
