    Hiking the Bay | Bothe-Napa, Redwood Regional, Cataract Falls, & Point Lobos

    I’m not a very outdoorsy person by nature. Lacking in athleticism, having no survival skills, and having a general dislike for insects makes me pretty useless for most intense outdoor activities. But walking through pretty nature? Yes. That I love. Back in March and April, I got to go on four different hikes around the…

    You know it’s a wonderful day when you get to hang out with Leia and R2D2. Those would be Serena and Cliff’s two adorable little dogs, of course. With the two Star Wars pups in tow, we headed to Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. Just one year ago, it was the site of an elaborate scavenger…

    I’m In A Magazine! | Featured in Hooray! Magazine

    My thirtieth birthday party was half a year ago, but the celebration continues. After being featured on Style Me Pretty, my photographs got picked up for publication in this beautiful Australian magazine, Hooray! Magazine.

  • Angel Island

    Angel Island

    It was the perfect mid-week getaway. Out on Angel Island, you’re in the middle of the bay, surrounded by San Francisco, Marin, and Oakland; so close to everything, and yet perfectly removed. In the winter, there is only one ferry to the island at 9:15am and one ferry leaving from the island at 3:20pm. It being a…

    Golden Gate

    I’ve made it more than halfway through 2015 with scarcely a personal post. Life has taken over, and a lot has happened since January. But I’ve decided it’s better late than never! So here we are, hopping back to to the beginning of 2015 with a glimpse at winter in California. The second weekend of January,…
