I had been talking about doing a shoot with my dear friend Anne who is a wonderful cook and baker. Since she had recently been to Kauai for her honeymoon and also had a shave ice maker, she suggested the shaved ice idea. I actually didn’t even know what it was even though I have… Read more »

Hot Dogs & Lemonade
A few weeks ago I worked on a shoot with Quinn Poer which was super fun! We were introduced by mutual friends and I thought it would be great to get together for a test shoot. She had the hotdog & lemonade idea and I thought it was fantastic. She did make the cutest hotdogs and… Read more »
Summer Vacation

I have been doing a lot of shoots recently both tests (unpaid collaborations with stylists) and paid projects that I will be posting about soon. I have been recently doing a lot of interior shoots, so… Read more »
Westport, WA
I went to Westport camping a few weeks ago with a friend of mine, and it was so beautiful. I only wish I had taken more photos in town with my camera, I got plenty with my phone. I didn’t really sleep that well while I was there, which I am super sensitive to and… Read more »
Interior Shoot with M.O.I. Designs
I had been thinking a lot about ways to expand my photography from just food, and I felt like shooting interiors would be the perfect addition! I had photographed some interiors while I was in school, and not quite sure why I never did more of it, since I really enjoyed it. I had also… Read more »

Grapefruit Spritzer in the Studio
Last month I went to a class put on by Creative Live and Andrew Scrivani, an amazing food photographer who lives in New York. He talked about this lighting set up where he bounced a strobe head into a v-flat, which was then covered by a silk, which I really wanted to try. I actually… Read more »
Seattle Magazine: Comfort Event
Last month I was asked to photograph at the Seattle Magazine Food and Wine Experience: Comfort Event, which I have to say was really fun and a great learning experience for me. I also went to the next day’s event, the Food & Wine Experience: Grand Tasting, and while it was really impressive and mostly… Read more »
Venice Beach
Last month my sister and I went down to LA for our annual sister trip and stayed in Venice with the plan to get some sun. To our surprise and dismay it was the worst storm that they had seen in 10 years. There was flooding and it rained like crazy (torrential downpour) with only… Read more »
