May is celiac disease awareness month, so as someone with celiac disease for many years (you can read about my story here), I wanted to share my favorite tried and true gluten-free snacks, treats, and staples! Of course taste is very personal, so you may or may not love my favorites but at least it […]

With its cool retro vibe and vibrant colors, Palm Springs is one of those places that I’ve wanted to visit and photograph for a while! Thankfully we were able to make that dream come true when we visiting this spring with our friends, Faro and Jakob! They had been overseas for much of the pandemic […]

It’s really no secret that I love brunch and waffles (see here and here). I mean, on our wedding day my husband actually vowed that he would make me waffles every weekend! (And just so you know, he’s lived up to that vow!) And you may also know that I have celiac disease (read about […]

2020 has been a strange year for all of us. My husband, Brandon, and I had originally planned to go on a backpacking trip in the Eastern Sierras this fall to celebrate our anniversary, but with the crazy fires (and COVID), we had to adjust a bit. Instead of backpacking like we did last year, […]

We bought our first home in the Oakland hills just over a year ago, and as it turns out, we purchased the home for less than it was worth (according to our appraiser). In my mind, that kind of scenario in the San Francisco Bay Area is kind of crazy! I feel like more often […]

Living in the San Francisco Bay Area means that winter and spring are often quite rainy! And since this has been our first rainy season with our dog, Spruce (whom we adopted from Oakland Animal Services last June), we’ve had to learn all about how to take care of our 60 lb toddler while keeping […]

Hi friends! Thank you so much for being on this journey with me! As a small business owner, just know that every little thing you do to support me matters. Your views, comments, shares, likes, and business means the world to me! And I hope that I have supported you with beautiful photos and plenty […]

Now that it’s officially getting colder and I’m busting out my winter jackets, I thought it would be fun to look back at one of my favorite trips from this past year (and a much warmer time): a bike trip through Slovenia and Croatia! I can’t believe that it was just a few months ago […]

When Brandon and I planned this backpacking trip for our one year anniversary, we really didn’t realize how much work it would end up being. I know, I know, backpacking is usually more work than other types of vacations, but this was work in a different kind of way. You see, we brought our dog, […]
