As we close out November I’m reflecting on a month of change and transition.  One such moment for me this year was my return to the Pacific Northwest.  I couldn’t be happier with that decision and I’m so grateful that it was possible.  In honor of this great place, here’s a gorgeous time-lapse by F-Stop […]

Olympic National Park

I’m in the midst of a staycation and one of the first items on the list was to go to Olympic National Park to spend a little time in the rainforest!  It’s the wettest spot in the US (besides Kauai)!  Peak rainfall really hits around this time of year so how utterly surprised and delighted […]

Well, somehow without warning we arrived in November!  This month’s dinner party mixtape is perfect for any entertaining you may be doing over the holidays.  It’s the right blend of classic crooners like Frank Sinatra and Chet Baker and soothing sirens along the lines of Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone to keep all your party-goers happily […]

Yes, I’m all about that bass

There are very few reasons I have been hanging on to my Facebook account.  One of them is because from time to time something that brings total happiness shows up in my feed.  Today, it was this jazzy cover of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” by Postmodern Jukebox.  Kate Davis’ voice is sooooo swoony.

I had the best time taking family photos of Beth and James and their little sweetie, Clementine.  We strolled along the waterfront trail in Seattle’s arboretum and had a lovely time exploring and playing.  So lucky to get to capture this fun age!  

Oh my darlin’ Clementine

All signs point to

If you stop for a moment to pay attention there are loads of messages out there for you to take in and decipher for yourself.  One of my favorite aspects of having a camera on my phone is to grab these quickly as I come upon them.

I was so lucky to get to snap a few images with this incredible lady a few weeks back.  She’s a photographer and a total delight.  She took my headshots for me and it was so hard to be in front of the camera.  It’s funny how that suddenly changes everything.  Regardless she made me […]

Need a creativity boost? Take time for wellness.

As we change seasons I’m finding myself hitting the reset button. I’ve dubbed this year the year of the brain because I’ve been feeling so wrapped up in the barrage of information coming at me that I’ve been seeking ways to achieve calm and clear thinking.  Through a variety of changes to my routine I’ve […]
