This autumn Seattleites were dealt a nice set of cards from the weather gods.  We actually got eased into fall instead of plunged into a dark, grey, rainy wall like we’ve had in years past.  Last month we’ve enjoyed both warm days and chilly & rainy days.  Together, they made for a nice dip into sweater […]

Fall is dreamy

Portrait Power

It’s astonishing when you step back and think about the beauty and unique quality of a person. You’re here in the moment on earth and an infinite number of things took place in order for you to exist.  Thus, the power of documenting your time here.  Portraits are amazing windows into our essence, our vibe, our […]

I have always considered myself as sort of a Peter Pan.  The idea of turning into any sort of adult was just not something I ever found appealing, let alone the notion of aging.  But at some point in my 30s I turned a corner and realized that age has its perks, and wisdom and […]

Northwest Summer Weekend

Last weekend my sister Michelle and my Brother-In-Law Hans came up to Seattle to enjoy some NW July days in all their glory.  We covered a lot of ground and had a terrific time! I’m so lucky to live in such a wonderful place.

Friends this was quite a week.  Emotional and trying.  I’ve been more grateful than ever for friends and family to commiserate with.  It has been a time for love and understanding and a desire to move on and lean into hope.  With that I say cheers and positive kind thoughts to you wherever you are.

Coffee Talk

A couple of weeks ago I treated myself to a staycation.  It was so nice to just relax and check out places close to home.  One of the things I made sure to do was explore more coffee shops.  I started out over at Slate Coffee in my neighborhood of Ballard where I enjoyed a […]

This time of year changes feel even more intense as colors literally start exploding out of nothingness around us.   It really makes me stop to appreciate the simple things and the beauty in everything. I’m also finding it’s a time for things to be refocused and tended for. Even if they’re taking time, my […]

Weekend Cocktail

It’s funny how with time, you learn so many more interesting things about yourself.  For instance, I really really like time on my own and I freaking hate being over-scheduled.  But when things are more spontaneous and the mood strikes I apparently like to do lots and lots of things. I had a jammed packed […]

This past week I hopped over to the Seattle Art Museum with some pals and was treated to the most glorious exhibit of Kehinde Wiley’s work.   For weeks I’ve seen friends posting about it on my Instagram feeds but nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of his work, the scale of his […]

Spring Spaces

I cannot believe Spring is finally here!  Winter was a long haul this year.  For the first time I was actually effected by the lack of sun.  Apparently it was the wettest winter on record for the Seattle area so I suppose I had a reason.  Anyway, as I emerge out of the cozy, reset […]
