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 […]
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? So damn lucky. Not only was […]
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 […]
This was the first time we’ve really mixed up holiday tradition in my family. This year, 2 of my sisters came up to Seattle and stayed with me. It was really cool to be able to try some new things out and find our own way around the holiday. I even prepared an amazing […]
I had the most wonderful time in LA last weekend at my sister & brother-in-law’s house. They threw an all day shindig with a gorgeous patio dinner that just melted away all my stress. For the whole day, I didn’t worry about what was going on at work, or on my Facebook, or in email, […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
We’ve all been there. Meeting your friend’s significant other for the first time is always a little, well, sketchy. You just never know. All parts of you are hoping this will be the dream scenario: the person is great, your friend is happy, and bonus you dig them enough to potentially have Friendsgiving with them […]
