When my work is printed, bound and the pages are turned by countless hands, I feel endless gratitude for this art. And when something’s complete, it means there’s a new beginning. It’s all about the process. I hope you enjoy your time in the kitchen preparing wholesome food and serving the ones you love. For gifts or […]

Summer’s a time of togetherness and it holds all of the great and challenging things that any close space does. Filled with endless berry picking and gardens that mutate into small jungles…stacks upon stacks of library books and plenty of time outs. Tents and crashing waves. And sand that seems to multiply in sleeping bags. […]

hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, i’ve come to know that memories were the best things you ever had the summer shone beat down on bony backs so far from home where the ocean stood down dust and pine cone tracks -Ben Howard Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park

In sickness and in health, the minutes were woven. Long days made a short year and together we became intricately tangled. A goal for one year of daily shooting became two…now seven hundred and thirty photographs tell a piece of our story. I’m thankful for each one. But more than that, one thousand times more, […]

So often, the greatest things in life are birthed without us knowing. We wait in wonder and sometimes worry.

Enveloped in the present, it’s hard to let go. But when I remind myself to look ahead, to visualize the changes and a mature growth, […]

When the last hours of three are done, we’ll celebrate four trips around the sun. Tomorrow brings inevitable change.  

Mystery fades. Sentiment grows. Love deepens, while the vastness we once felt becomes smaller. Endless treasures that filled a whole room, are tucked inside a jewelry box that stands in the corner. A boost needed to perch on an impossibly high stool, is now given by me. The handmade doll house that once held a […]

In the fast pace of our world today, messages are skewed. The ideas and work of an individual cannot be accurately translated through a short article…especially when the intention of a publication is not in line with the individual. Misquotes, added ideas, wrongful representation of lives…all of this can come about when you share your story with the world. It happens […]

Like blossoms from new growth, we mimic the beauty of spring. Inevitable as the changing seasons, we bloom into who we were made to be. My Images are made purely from heart, each one complete because I feel. I’m confident in my direction that’s changing with life. From nuptials, to new life. The power of women […]
