I first read this quote by Anne Lamott five years ago, when I was deep into my own mental health journey:

“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.”

It struck a chord with me. I've been a lifelong people-pleaser, putting everyone else's needs before my own. I was constantly chasing success instead of being true to myself and letting my own light shine.

Pretty soon after, I asked to design and tattoo a piece of art that would provide a constant reminder of that. And this past weekend, I was able to visit the lighthouse that served as the visual inspiration for my tattoo: the Grays Harbor Lighthouse.

I'm still a work-in-progress and I'm grateful for how far I've come. Thank you, .

Summer is drawing to a close and, for those of you with littles, I hope it's been epic. These are the days. They are fast and fleeting and full of memories. Here's to a beautiful fall season ahead.

Happy National Dog Day to every dog who was rescued, every dog who rescued their person right back, and every person who knows that “just a dog” is never just a dog. This baby healed us during the pandemic and continues to bring such light into our lives. How did I ever go this long without a dog? Even if she refuses to let us clip her nails, she is loved. 😉🥰

What is it like to work with lil ole me, you ask? Well...

✨ I'm going to be pretty excited to get to know you (or to catch up!).
📷 There will be light posing direction and we'll watch the magic happen.
✨ I'll be a bit silly and you might join in.
🌎 I'm definitely going to ask you if you like to travel.
📷 It’s probably more relaxed than you think.
✨ It'll be a memory within itself...and lots of fun.
..and yep, we’ll get the “everyone look at the camera” photos, too!

The arboretum isn't always full of fall color, but it is always the gold standard for consistency and beauty all year round. If it's your favorite spot, too, I have just a couple of spots left for fall mini sessions there. Link in bio to book! 🍁

A favorite moment from early 2026...I love documenting details like this in each session. 😍
