I love being in so deep, quitting is laughable.

I live in a machine of my own design that keeps pumping while I sleep.

I’m the most important person on my own mountain. A world that ceases to exist if I do.

You can visit. Pull up an iron daisy.

You’ll never understand where I’m coming from, but don’t worry. No one will understand you, either. Human language is inadequate.

Words will fail you. Aura will be misread sometimes…if you even have the ability to see it.

Just know, it is equal parts beautiful to lonely. Equal parts encouraging to discouraging.

The sun always shines, here. It’s your mountain. You get to choose.

You weave through the iron daisies as you make your way back to your mountain. The daisies are probably soft and fragrant where you come from. But...it may be dark at night. Maybe, you prefer the moon. You may have a guard dog or a sentinel. I’d love to visit one day. Maybe, you’ll let me see.

Me? My daisies are iron.

We have to get a little creative here with our PNW Photojournalism. One of the first things you learn as a new natural light photographer is how incredible a big window can make any room look. A tiny corner in the most unassuming place, if sitting close to a window can produce the most magical […]

Tonight, I took the boys to the Everett Haunted Harbor community event! Everyone putting it on was so sweet and we all had a blast! Thank you to all the boat volunteers! We started with trick or treating at the boats, watching witches paddle board around the harbor, petting all the neighbor dogs, and watched […]

Hey, Mommas. Take a look at your babies now. Go ahead. Just take a quick peek. They grow. Today was a bit exhausting, wasn’t it? There were moments of things never being quite perfect. You tried your best and showed up in every way you could possibly think to and still, you fell short in […]
