A gloomy and cozy day in Pikes Place Market with these two love birds. Visiting from Tucson, Raeann and Alex wanted to document their time together in a place that has fond memories for them. I’m so lucky to have been chosen to be there for them! These are just the sneak peeks 🖤
I’d say it’s full on fall here in WA. We’ve had a week full of off and on rain, gloomy skies and fog. 😍 I frickin’ love fall if you can’t tell. Im just so excited to experience a full fall for the first time in years. It’s awakens my creative soul 🍂

Here’s a love so sweet to beat this summer heat. ✨🖤
Our heatwave here in the PNW has us chasing all the waterfalls, rivers and lakes that I’m not used to 😂 no but seriously, I’ve been like a fish this summer. Swimming in any body of water I can take myself to. The best part is that most of these areas aren’t far from home 😭Just a few weeks left of summer and we’ll be on to my favorite stop, 𝙵𝙰𝙻𝙻 🍁. So for now I’m truly enjoying summer and the changes it welcomes 🖤

It’s almost time for a black wedding! 🖤 I can’t fu**in wait 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Since moving to Washington time as flown by while dragging along at the same time. I mostly blame that on the fact, that the sun doesn’t completely go down till 10pm, but I digress. It’s been 5 months since our big jump into the PNW. 🌲 These months have been filled with lots of changes and adventures.
Before we arrived to our new home I took it upon myself to schedule an adventure for as many Saturdays or Sundays as I could up until August. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. 😂😅 Now I’m going to explain this the best way I know how. When living in AZ I did have plenty of adventures in my 5 years of being there. BUT what I’ve done here in 5 months is well over what I experienced in my 5 years of dwelling in AZ. My adventures on Saturdays and Sundays trickled into my week. Just to name a few; seeing Mount Rainer in all its glory, Astoria (goonies never say die), swam in a few magical waterfalls, foraged for berries AND ate them on our camping trips. Experienced beaches where the forest meets the ocean, wandered off to the Olympic forest, this list could go on and on. Now that I’ve added adventuring onto my list my plate has felt really full this summer. Almost too full sometimes. I’m loving every bit of what’s been happening since moving here but I’ve had to make adjustments. Truthfully I’m still making adjustments. Between being a SAHM of 4, keeping a home, wanting to adventure, running a business and just life in general it’s been crazy over here. 😅
So some things have had to be on the back burner for a little while. First on that list was keeping up on Instagram. Now I’ve never been kickass at keeping up with Insta consistently, BUT I was definitely on a roll there for a min. It’s hard for me to be creative and social while my personal life is demanding so much of me. So usually I cut out the social aspect of my life. I’m just going with the flow when it comes to social media these days. Post when I can muster up the brain power for a damn caption. S**t even writing this on my notes was a pain in the ass. For now I guess I’m back, but I’m not making any promises. 🤭

Been a little m.i.a lately, but all for good reasons! Ya girl has been busy in all aspects of life right now. 😅 Although I love it, time seems to be just flying by. The one thing that always suffers first is my social media game. So here’s me getting back into the swing of things 🙂 enjoy some pretty pictures 🖤
