Being self-employed for a third of my life has always had me thinking about cost vs. value. I often hear, “it’s just too expensive.” I know I’ve certainly been guilty of saying it. What’s valued is different for everyone. For the past few days I’ve been thinking more about what things I find most important. […]
I’m clinging on to these days with little ones. The mornings are long. But the weeks slip away so fast. I want to remember the beauty alongside the mess…
It sustains life and takes it. A fusion of peaceful and powerful. The Yuba river is where I spent countless days of my earlier years. And now, returning with my children, I’m enjoying it more than ever. We spent the day in a quiet swimming hole miles away from town. An afternoon with no one […]
Light is everything and I’m trying to use it whenever it’s available. We’ve been preparing for a big move the past couple of months. We paid a visit to the city of our dreams and scoped it out a little better. Our house is now for sale and we’re trying to keep it clean. We’ve […]
It’s almost here. Seven is so close. Tomorrow he’ll no longer be six. We’ve been spending Monday afternoons together. Just the two of us.

Six, three, and one. Our one bath house is starting to feel a little too cozy. This may be the last Christmas in our first home, but we’ll take the memories with us in the form of photos. Lifestyle photography is my new love. This is how every morning starts for him. When the kids […]
It’s so fun to see my first published shoot make the cover! I had a great time creating a Christmas inspired styled shoot, with Storybook Wedding Design & Management. I know it still feels like summer in Nevada County, but Christmas is in fact just around the corner. Stonehouse Brewery in Nevada City, provided the […]
Two years and two days apart. We have a lot to celebrate in September. The majority of each day is spent caring for these little ones. At one and three, most people think I have my hands full. I would have to agree. But how could I want it any other way? You’ll know what […]
