As someone who spends most days behind the camera creating images for clients, it’s easy to get caught up in deadlines, emails, editing, marketing, and all the behind-the-scenes work that comes with running a creative business. Every once in a while, though, you need to step away from the routine and simply create for yourself.…
This June, my husband and I celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary with a trip to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and what an absolutely incredible trip it was. We wanted something that felt special and adventurous, but also gave us the chance to slow down, soak it all in, and enjoy each other’s…

Another incredible year visiting the tulips at Roozengaarde as part of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival! Roozengaarde is far and away my favorite tulip display in the valley and we had incredible weather throughout so much of April this year that finding the tulips in the sunshine was easy! That’s not always the case- Spring…
