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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
Portland is known for delicious food. On this most recent trip down to the Rose City I paid special attention to the details in the eateries themselves. It has always been an interest of mine and lately, I’m beginning to see it developing into a passion. 23Hoyt sits in the NW area of the city […]

Vif has all the comfort of being a heroine in a storybook all cuddled up by the fire with your woodland creatures singing to you. I […]
What a night! I got to celebrate the birthday of my lovely and awesome sister Marie. She’s honestly the best and I’m so glad she’s in my life!
Today I overcame my anxiety around asking strangers if I can photograph them. Maybe it was having my sister with me or being in a city I didn’t live in or just the general friendliness I was getting from everyone we spoke to but today was the day. My first portrait this morning was of […]
New York can be an intimidating and overwhelming place. For someone like me who needs a lot of wide open spaces and fresh air the city can sometimes push in on me. Thankfully, I’m also a wanderer and that takes over when I’m there. This past week I stumbled upon Petite Shell, a delicious pastry […]
This morning I had every intention of snagging breakfast with my long-time pal at a spot in my hood but alas we were surprised to find that they were closed for renovations (Tilikum, see you again soon). Not ones for wallowing we immediately changed course to our old hood to a longtime favorite and it […]
