it all started when my parents wouldn't let me take photos with the disposable camera

I'm just an average gal who's a sucker for the simple things in life. Chances are if I'm not at my desk, I'm out exploring or swinging in my hammock with my foxy pup, Rosie. Anywhere in nature makes me happy but I love me a good mountain view - extra brownie points if those mountain views are in the PNW because its my extra happy place. I've been kickin' it at this whole photographer thing for 7 years now and it's easily one of the best things in my life!

Funny story, when I was a little kid, I went to Guatemala for the first time with my family and I acted like a total brat the entire time I was there. Why you may ask? Because my parents wouldn't let me take photos with the disposable camera. 
Needless to say, I was meant to do this. 

Im a little bit sweet and A whole lotta sassy

I BELIEVE IN:

a good time, honesty, strong connections, feeling all of the feels and embracing your own quirks. 

I'm NOT ABOUT:

BS, bad vibes, littering and negativity. Keep that non-sense to yourself.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

singing and dancing 'round my kitchen, picking heavy things up in my shed, taking 1 million photos of my pup or swinging in my hammock.

daily rituals

Morning affirmations, cuddles with my precious pup, checking my plant babies and a morning walk to clear my head to get the day started.

Traveling — especially when I get to dive the great barrier reef!

my happy place!

Cannon Beach! It's my literal happy place. I could sit here all day and be completely content with life.  

Plants + my dog.  If you follow me on the gram, you see my two loves all of the time. Naturally, I have a photo with all 37 plants and my dog in one shot!

Camping.  Something I love doing but dont do enough of. And I mean real, pack-in/pack-out camping. River is your shower kind of stuff =P

Lounging in my hammock. Nothing quite as relaxing as siting in my hammock with my dog and beer and nature.

Road trips!  Nothing better than good music, windows down + an open road.  I lived in my car for 2 months while I road tripped the whole country for my 30th birthday!
