Lauren Ko of @Lokokitchen creates stunning pies and pairs them with fantastic puns. She recently launched her first book Pieometry and Anthropologie tapped me to capture Lauren in action with some of their products for their blog and social.

Como Kirkland Makes a Splash

Lake Washington is the second largest natural lake in the State of Washington. At its longest, it stretches 22 miles. In the summertime, you can find Seattleites swimming in it, lounging near it, watching the Blue Angels fly over it, and most especially spending sunny days on their boats in it.  The folks over at […]

Samara is a new restaurant nestled in Sunset Hill, a subsection of Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. It’s helmed by chef and owner Eric Anderson and centers on cooking over the fire.

An Evening at Locanda Ravello – Danville

Photographing the food and spirit of family-run Italian hotspot Locanda Ravello in Danville was a real joy. First of all, Bay Area peeps, if you haven’t been to Danville, you’re missing out. It’s absolutely adorable. Everywhere I turned there was a cute little old renovated sports car or vintage truck with a perfect paint job. […]

Oh, how I love wine tasting! For those of you who are not familiar with Washington wines, lemme tell you, it’s real good. Sure we may not be known like California or as fancy as France, but we have our own little thing going on, and it’s fabulous. Woodinville is just north of Seattle and […]

Rotie Cellars Tasting Room

Ok friends, let’s talk about a few of my favorite things: wine, spaces, and people gathering together.  How lucky was I that the awesome folks over at Rotie Cellars called me up when they found out they were going to be featured in the January issue of Decanter Magazine?

If you know me you know that I’ve got a lot of passions and interests but at the highest level, it’s all about experiences for me.  One of the biggest and most dear to me is the concept of coming together over a beautiful meal with awesome people in an amazing space to share ideas. […]

ACLU Fundraiser Dinner

Every once in a while the stars just seem to align.  Thanks to the suggestion of a friend I got connected with Olaiya Land of Milly’s Kitchen a few weeks ago.  Olaiya was creating a dinner to raise money for the ACLU and I volunteered to photograph the event for her.  It was the most amazing […]
