There’s something about seeing the sliver of sky through a long hallway of buildings.  The evening light last night was bouncing all over with a warm glow.  I just had to keep a little bit of it.

One of the best things about having pretty great friends is that they do some pretty great things.  Like, ‘oh we’re having a baby…let’s all go have some delicious food and beer and hang out for a bit to celebrate’.  Today’s rad friend award goes to soon-to-be-parents, the Rittenmyers.  Essentials for this shindig included cornhole, a hilarious game […]

Morning Coffee

I love it when friends come to visit because it’s just another excuse to try a new place you haven’t been to yet.  My list remains lengthy.  In my year away (while in SF), so many spots cropped up in Seattle I have yet to try.  Coffee and wine shop Vif in Fremont is one such […]

For the “Step Outside” campaign at CreativeLive we wanted to encourage photographers to spend the summer outdoors, have fun with adventure and nature photography, and tune in for our upcoming outdoor photography classes. I partnered with a designer on my team to create a campaign identity and worked with our visual storyteller to bring it […]

How to Make Schnitzel

You remember The Sound of Music right?  Well, the actual Von Trapp family that the film was based on have some very talented grandchildren who formed a group and then teamed up with Portland’s Pink Martini to create some beautiful music together.  I saw them perform around this time last year and I’m feeling a little nostalgic on this throwback Thursday.  Here’s a little […]
