It’s official, y’all. Summer is here! I cannot tell you how thrilled I am! It’s my favorite time of year because there is just so much potential for adventure, excitement, and doing absolutely nothing (and not feeling bad about it). To kick our summer off we spent an afternoon in the backyard with the sprinkler […]

Tokyo // Guam // New Orleans Felica // Holga

Earlier this month I headed to New Orleans for a photography retreat/workshop/conference type thing called The Family Narrative. I have kind of mixed feelings about Louisiana (personal history) and was a little bit conflicted about going but in the end I booked my ticket and went. Y’all, I’m so glad I did. I hadn’t been […]

Yesterday my kiddo and I were headed to a birthday party on the peninsula. As we drove towards Marsh Road and the 101, I spotted a little park off of 84 that had some rolling hills and noticed a few people running and walking. On our way back from the party, we decided to stop […]

I’ve been meaning to blog these since September when we took this trip, but work and life got in the way, but better late than never, right? We drove out to Tahoma Labor Day weekend. We left around noon on Friday thinking we’d get a leg up on traffic and proceeded to sit in it […]

Any time a friend asks if I want to head out to Santa Cruz for the day I can’t help but say yes. There’s just something about that town that has my heart. I love the laid back vibe that I think goes missing in the Bay Area sometimes. On a recent trip we stopped […]

Any time I have friends or family who come to visit, I always recommend a trip to Alcatraz. It’s quite honestly one of my favorite places in the Bay Area…is that weird? I think it’s absurdly beautiful, and the history is just fascinating to me. I love that it’s a whole big experience, from taking […]

My husband is into bikes. Like, bicycles. Like, ride 100+ miles a week into bicycles. I think he’s slightly crazy but I’m supportive because he’s supportive of me and we both are into expensive pieces of equipment. It’s how marriage works. Anyhoo, M and I try to go to as many of his races as […]
