“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?” – Henry David Thoreau
Some of the most beautiful moments are hidden in the mundane.

A Little About Me
Meredith Brooks described me best in that song she wrote…
I’m a lot of things all rolled into one. Deeply passionate about the things I care about, armed with a sense of humor that (let’s be honest) only I can fully appreciate, and a soul that’s always reaching for something bigger than itself.
Hobbies
Photography, Writing, Swing and Blues Dancing
Passions
Homelessness, Feeding People, Helping Others
I’ve only just begun…
My Solo Travel Adventures
Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you’ve never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.
― Judith Thurman

My Portfolio
Over the years I have dabbled in various creative pursuits. Photography, art, music, writing, dancing, all bring me a sense of joy. Here I hope to share some of my joy with you.
Event Photos
Do you need a photographer to take photos at your event? Ask me about my candid photography and photo booth packages. Find and download your event photos here.
Poetry
I write a lot of “sad girl” poetry that I call random writings – mostly because they are words that bubble up inside and come out at random times. I don’t write because I want to, I write because I need to.
Cozy Corner
This is a place for my whimsy to take flight. For my nonsense to thrive. For my love to be alive. Find me here in my cozy space, where often times I’m lost in my maze. Enjoy a moment next to my fireplace.
So many ideas, so little time…

Jared Richardson – Big Beautiful BBQ
I met Jared over ten years ago at an event where he was serving handcrafted chocolates, and yes, they were delectable! Since then, I’ve been fortunate to follow his journey as a chef. Jared’s story about how he got into cooking is still one of the most inspiring stories I’ve heard. Jared loves to experiment and has a true passion for coming up with creative recipes. These days, he works as a private chef and caters parties and events around Los Angeles. If you’re curious about his cooking or just love good food, you can find him on Instagram.
Proof I’ve been thinking (too much)…
