About a month ago, (I can’t believe it has been that long!) I attended the Gather Seattle: Design Your Plate Workshop at Aran Goyoga’s studio. It was so great. Gather Seattle, founded by Chloe puts on workshops and lunches that bring together women in the PNW food & design industries. They have women speak at… Read more »
My sister and I went hiking a few weeks ago along the Snoqualmie Middle Fork River. As a word of warning, even though my car has AWD you may want to take a truck to get out there if you want to go down the whole road. We ended up stopping before the actual trail… Read more »
I had the pleasure of shooting with Beth Batson a few weeks ago. We always end with with such pretty images! I am obsessed with the images of the pasta and the egg process shots. She definitely took on a project with making the pasta from scratch (twice at least) since she tested it prior… Read more »
Before Christmas I had a few friends over to work on a canning/pickling project. I know this is from something I did over a month ago, but since the holidays there has been a lot going on. I found some pickling recipes in a few of my favorite cookbooks, Twenty Dinners, Gjelina, and Hartwood. Most… Read more »
Last weekend I went to Franklin Falls (or tried to) with 5 of my girlfriends on New Year’s Eve Day. We thought it would be the perfect way to spend the last day of 2016. We headed out and first had brunch at Twedes, otherwise known as the Double R or RR from Twin Peaks… Read more »

A few weeks ago I got to work on a test shoot with Rachel Grunig again. I absolutely love working with her. She wanted to do a holiday styled shoot without it being too traditionally “holiday” and I think the images turned out wonderful, as always! Every year I look forward to the holidays, spending… Read more »
A few weeks ago I did a test shoot with Liz Herrera who I work with over at the Amazon photo studio. She is such a talented stylist, and I always love working with her. When we started talking about doing a shoot we both wanted to do something with a Fall theme, and Liz… Read more »
I went to California last month with my family, in part for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and also for my brother & sister’s (and my) birthday. Yes we are triplets. My parents really wanted to go to Disneyland which they thought would be especially fun for my brother’s two little kids. I really love… Read more »
At the beginning of September I was super excited to shoot for Paseo especially since they are basically THE iconic sandwich shop in all of Seattle and after they closed in Seattle temporarily there was rioting in the streets. That may be a bit of an exaggeration but not by much. They just announced they… Read more »
