After college, she grew that business and now you'll find her all over the Pacific Northwest; snapping weddings, graduation photos, and engagement shoots.

My Top 3 Books for Spring
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara I judged A Little Life by its cover: I was in a bookstore, saw the cover, and bought it. If I had read the back cover (a story following the lives and friendship of four boys), I would never have purchased it. There are enough books about men out … Continue reading My Top 3 Books for Spring
Women! Stop Apologizing!
I am your ride-or-die, female-empowerment, yogi-spirited powerhouse. I take my coffee black and eat misogynists for breakfast. I've climbed mountains, crossed lakes, and cycled up heaven's stairway.

More Hygge with Homemade Candles
Solid time away from a screen is so important for me. So when the weekend comes, I'd much prefer to do something with my hands than idle away in front of the TV. In addition to this need to be screen-free, I also need candles in my life. Lots and lots of candles. I light … Continue reading More Hygge with Homemade Candles
My 3rd New Year’s Resolution: More Hygge
I've described my 2019 foci to push myself physically (through sprint triathlons, which I know I enjoy) and do less (by taking planned detox from the news and social media, limiting my personal projects, and spending more time happily doing nothing). My last 2019 focus is to generate more hygge. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, … Continue reading My 3rd New Year’s Resolution: More Hygge
