  • 04.11 | Puerto Rico | Viejo San Juan

    April 18, 2011

    On our last night, we headed back over to Puerto Rico to spend a night in Old San Juan. A definite change of pace from sleepy Vieques, Old San Juan still maintains the bright & peaceful feel of the little island. A small city center surrounded by water with narrow blue cobblestone streets, row…

    April 18, 2011

    We journeyed over to Fajardo on the eastern coast of Puerto Rico to catch a ferry to Vieques, a small island about an hour away. Vieques is an incredible place. We stayed on the island for two nights last year & just fell in love. It’s a simple island, filled with a few bars,…

  • 04.03 | Puerto Rico | Rainforest Villa

    April 18, 2011

    Once a year, I take a long tropical vacation somewhere to hideaway & unwind before wedding season kicks into high gear. I was tempted to bring all my equipment & my laptop, but my wonderful boyfriend Jason insisted that I bring extra flip-flops and snorkel gear instead and just stick to a simple point…

Also, when I was 16, my bestie & I became obsessed with Petty (we worked in the detail shop at @deltasonicwash & it’s all the older dudes would play 🤘🎸) We’d aimlessly drive around - gas was basically free back then 🤪 - windows down, volume UP, singing our little hearts out 😍 I can feel those moments when I hear his songs now!

Do you have a song or musician that just brings ya right back?

☀️ JUNE ☀️

Hi, hi! Join me as I commit to a full month of : 
✨ Keeping a camera on me (no client work for this part)
✨ Developing a joyful workflow of reviewing images
✨ Posting that day’s favs, every night, without overthinking the ideal timing/aesthetic of the grid/feeling forced into trends/remembering holidays/the caption/getting overwhelmed & moving on 🤣

This is a practice I haven’t done in years & it’s time 😘 Tag along?

Have you ever been to the Allegany Nature Pilgrima
Have you ever been to the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage? 🌿 It’s one of my favorite annual events 🤩 Naturalists, hikers, herbalists, birders & all kinds of outdoor enthusiasts gather at the park for a whole weekend’s worth of unique programming! 

Typically, I plot out adventurous activities, but this year I opted for a more restorative schedule ✌️ I spent my Saturday doing fireside yoga, forest-bathing with a group of lovely ladies, learning about homeopathy, relaxing with some watercolors, enjoying a mushroom hike & trying basic orienteering! 🥾🌲 

There are dozens upon dozens of other activities to choose from at this family-friendly & affordable event. Will I see you there next year?!

Fellow Creatives : How do you stay inspired? 🤔 

I have daily practices in place, but I think quarterly art-filled-mini-roadtrips are the real secret 🤩🤩🤩 My 36 hour whirlwind May getaway to PGH did the trick! 😍 After time at some of my favorite galleries, real good eats, a candlelit art-making session, a night of jazz poetry & lots of long, aimless walks with my camera, I have so many soon-to-be projects swirling around 🎉

Year Ten of this city for me & still haven’t seen it all; anything I should add to my list for next time?!
