Feel free to cozy up with your favorite beverage (if you're like me, then maybe it's an espresso over ice with a splash of cream, or a warm matcha latte if it's cold outside!) and stay awhile. This is my place to share not just beautiful weddings or sessions, but to share my life. My hope is through this, you'll get to know a bit more about me and all the beautiful people that make it worth living!

Homemade Coconut Milk | In My Home

I know I said this would be shared Monday afternoon during my daughter’s naptime. But that naptime never came. Cause ya know, she’s 18 months and has so much to do and say and think that naps just aren’t necessary apparently. ;) But TODAY!

Heyyy spring…how about an orange carrot smoothie?

It’s true. When I travel, I loooooove finding where the nearest Jamba Juice location is so I can order my fav “orange carrot karma”.

A Summer Home | A Minimalist Approach to Decorating

After all, we have a toddler. Yet I still vacuum. Every day. Maybe it’s because I know it’s a short lived season that won’t last forever. Haha! […]

David, Julie & Baby Mackenzie | In-Home Newborn Session | Portland Lifestyle Photographer

I first met David and Julie last spring when they celebrated their wedding in Lake Chelan at Karma Vineyards. Ahh, it was one of my favorite weddings of 2016! I’m not sure if it was because of the trolley ride up to the vineyard to share toasts with family and friends, or their wine cellar […]
