One of my simple pleasures is styling and cozying up in my apartment. I like to create and cultivate a comfy peaceful space for relaxation, entertaining, and creativity. It’s an ongoing effort filled with spins through Goodwill, Pinterest boards, and random grabs from my travels. This weekend, I livened the room up a bit with […]
Today we celebrate the longest day of the year. I’ve always felt a special something for Summer. I have a summer birthday, love warmth, and I can’t get enough of the outdoors. This year, I spent Solstice with the terrific company of my lovely baby sister who to my constant surprise, is now all grown up. […]
Seattle was blasted with 80 degree crystal clear weather this past week. It was the perfect opportunity to capture some fun in the sun with the adorable Hamlin family. Nicole and Eric’s new addition Oliver is just a precious little guy with the most cherub-like cheeks you have ever seen. We hit up Greenlake for […]

It’s official! My little sister is hitched! Oh how I wish I could go back in time to hang out on the beaches of Mexico once more. I was pretty busy being maid of honor but here are a couple of shots of the gorgeous bride and groom I was able to pull off while […]
Even on your darkest days, keep looking to the light. Somewhere in its rays you’ll find the inspiration and drive to keep pushing you towards your dreams.
It’s a beautiful life. A week ago I was standing on a beach in sunny Mexico celebrating my sister’s wedding. There are so many photos documenting the week-long adventure in Sayulita but I finished up a handful to showcase the place before I showcase the people. More soon!
Last month a man approached me in LA trying to tell me my fortune. I was exhausted at the time and had carved aside 5 minutes to step away from the group I was with to just sit in peace. As he approached I asked him to simply leave me be but he was determined. […]
