Vancouver, BC — Postcard
While visiting Vancouver a few weeks ago, we toured the BC place stadium and the Vancouver Whitecaps locker room. More photos of the stadium, Vancouver, and our trip to come!
Gonzaga — Early Spring
In March of 2008, I spent a weekend trying to get sunset & sunrise shots around campus. It didn't work at all. Mostly because the first day it snowed, and the second day it was cold & clear with almost no clouds. Typical Spokane. However, I snagged a couple shots that even to this day, I...
Kayte — Gonzaga University
Once upon a time, when I first started using a DSLR for my job at Student Publications, I had a few hours of extra time and my friend Kayte was kind enough to pose for me. She also serenaded me with her beautiful guitar and piano skills. She's a beautiful lady with a great heart. And I miss her...
Reflections on 2011
There is a lot I want to say about 2011, but I'm struggling to find the words. 2011 was a great year, but it didn't pass without some hardships. 2011 gave me first a fiance and then a husband. A new career. A new home. And so much more. But 2011 also took three wonderful men from my life. Rarely a...
Thoughts & Dreaming
Not long ago, I had a meltdown. A personal crisis. I had lost direction, I wasn't sure where I was going with my life. And I panicked. And then, I wrote this piece on taking a leap of faith. And it was clear. I wrote it to get the thoughts out of my head. I wrote it to find my own truth....
A Leap of Faith
My heart is heavy with the ache of words unspoken. I find it hard to articulate what I feel right now. But I'm trying to say it all. I'm finding my life, my dreams, my aspirations, pulling me in a thousand different directions. I find myself standing at a crossroads, unsure of what I want on the...
Kettering University Graduation — Flint, MI
My (not so) little brother graduated from college this month. Wow. I flew to Michigan to be there for the weekend. It wasn't as exciting as it sounds. Because of my flights, I got in late on Friday night and left first thing on Sunday. We spent Saturday at graduation and meeting his friends. I got...
Before the Sun Rises
Before the sun rises, we rise. We get up. I shower. We break down a bike, load bags in the car, we drive. Rather, he drives and I sleep. We arrive at a state park, a beach, a waterfront. The sun is just coming up. It is peaceful, calm. I wish I'd remembered my running shoes. There are many...
Fixed Life + Travel — Finding a Balance
A while back, I tackled a few last boxes of miscellaneous stuff from our post-college move. And I found a list in one of my notebooks. It was a list of trips I wanted to take someday, written at the end of sophomore year, or maybe after I'd returned from Prague during my junior year. It must have...
Frankfurt, Germany
Last month, while H & I were in Germany visiting family, we took the train into Frankfurt for a day of sight-seeing and adventures. The sun even came out to play for a while, making the chilly January weather a little more bearable. Frankfurt is such a city of contrasts. It is known for being...
