Engagement Photo Session at Alki Beach
Feeling So Golden
A pandemic and an election year? Interesting. How is your nervous system doing?
It's 2020, but We're Living in COVID-19 // Photo Diary Entry no. 2
Piper said, “I’ve definitely been way more creative during this time in ways I haven’t since I was a kid— journaling, painting... I even brought out all my shells that I’ve collected since childhood and admired each one and organized them on my coffee table. This strange time is opening up this creativity in all of us that, I hope, stays after normal life returns. I feel like an appreciation for creativity and art is so, so, so prevalent right now. I never write or journal, I have a hard time with that for some reason, but I started quarantine dairies to just write down my feelings day to day during this knowing I’ll want to reflect back in the future and be able to tell my kids.”
It's 2020, but We're Living in COVID-19 // Photo Diary Entry no. 1
Inspired by #frontstepsproject, I began finding people who simply wanted documentation (from a distance) of their new normal. And then I started asking questions. What are you doing with this time? How are you feeling? How are you managing? It started as portraits from a distance and now I see there is a little series of something more emerging.

Five Practical Things You Can Do to Improve Your Holiday
I hope you make no rules for yourself on holiday. Talk to strangers. Eavesdrop on trains. Do not be afraid to be extra with your camera. DO NOT be afraid to put the camera down and just see things too. We are all doing things. All the time.
The Last Week of 2018!
If I hadn’t put those five goals in writing and for the whole world to see, I’m not sure I would have been as zealous about searching for them throughout the year. I would encourage you to write your goals somewhere, preferably somewhere you are faced with reading them everyday. Don’t let all the frenzy of the end of the year put you in the passenger seat, boo. THIS is your time to put in the work to make your next year of living so good you want to slap yourself for not doing all the things sooner!
Everything Lady Grey, Every Day. Please.
Lady Grey is the brilliant result of two alarmingly talented ladies coming together to share sweetness with you during your moments of celebration. In the age of information, sometimes I feel as though I’ve seen it all. Just so you know, I haven’t and you haven’t. We’ve just seen a lot of squirrels riding unicycles.
Reunion Bake Brew Bite, pt. I
When you meet the founders of Reunion at the counter, you can opt to have a hand-poured cup of single origin coffee while you take in their recommendations. Here are a few photos of their signature meals.
Fine, I'll Buy That Canadian Retreat
From our first photoshoot together when she was 24 hrs old to a one year birthday, this is a special one. And, in earnest, there are few things better than getting to grow with you and document you throughout the years.
Welcome, Brand New Human
I think the moral of the story here is: do what you love. Always. Fiercely. Pursue it. Keep at it. Find new things that interest you. And pursue those ends with the same intensity. Repeat. And remind yourself, in the most exquisite ways, how rich the risks are.
Mama + Me, A Beach Picnic for Two
To each, incredible mama that invited me over to sweetly package up memories this past month: THANK YOU. As a fly on the wall to your smooches on toes and hearty giggles and outfit changes and milk-drunk naps and sh-sh-shhhh soothings, literally none of it felt like work. Here’s an example from a relaxed Mother’s Day, mama + me session.
Itty, Bitty Photo Session for an Itty Bitty Person
Photos from the first 48 hours of a new dude’s entrance into the world. And three cheers for cuddling with those you love most.
Low-pressure Bump Session
Our urban crawl of a Baby Bump Session was such a cool, creative departure from what typically comes to mind when we think of a maternity session. The city created space for them to get comfy and lost in one another. It was equal parts relaxed and awe-inspiring.
