I knit my first sweater!! So many group sessions at @closeknitpdx getting advice and help. (Reading a pattern is literally impossible for me to comprehend). Thank you to @emmaebowers for helping me with decreasing the sleeves! Thank you @green.eggs.annham for sending me the pattern the second we met when I said "oh my God I love your sweater. Did you make it?" Wow, I can't believe it's done. Now I want to take it all apart and do it over again đ
Some people teach you how to slow down just by being themselves. Spending time around Angie @sunnsoak feels incredibly special and intimate. I was at home the moment I walked into her kitchen. Angie made us a delicious lobster risotto made with homemade chicken stock and foraged mushrooms. Thank you for the heartfelt meal love đĨ˛ Photos by @zoching shot for the La Cocina Series by @madrelinen , launched by the one and only @shayshay_carrillo â¤ī¸
One of my favorite shoots this year in my home for @yamazakihome đĢ Got two of my very talented friends together @yngchng and @_annaoberg to work on this video series for @yamazakihome . This is the director's cut version where we decided to do lighting that was a bit more vibey and expressive. Thank you to Ying for jumping in and modeling as well as providing such intentional, detailed art direction and styling. And huge thank you to Anna for incredible video work and post-production editing and color grading on this. These types of shoots are the driving force for me of why I love creative work - it's the collaboration. Hoping for more of it in 2026 â¨
What an honor to work with the @portlandjapanesegarden . We've been partnered since August and getting to really see the seasons change here has been nothing short of pure magic. I just love being in the garden. đ Peak fall colors at the @portlandjapanesegarden right now get yourself over here! Even in the rain it is spectacular đđ§ī¸ thank you for the behind the scene snaps @elizabethyunmi
I love playing basketball... peaked in middle school when I got to play center and be a WALL, then all of a sudden in high school I was shorter than everyone and slow from eating too many burritos in the bay đ I've never been the quickest or the one with the most stamina, but I 100% have that dog in me and will throw elbows and fight my way to the basket. My dad and I use to play bball together when I was a kiddo, fast forward to now and we will still shoot around together and then talk about how we need to ice our backs, lol. I'm so glad I played throughout school and that I've met so many different people through playing. It absolutely shaped who I am today. I will always be the most comfortable with a hoodie on and a bball in my hands. Always ready to play đ¤đđĻ swipe to the end to see me run super slow ahaha đĢ
The happiest girl, she's a water dog through and through. She was so excited that I took out the paddleboard she tried to get on it in the parking lot đĨ˛ I love that she loves it so much. (Also someone is getting a little too confident with her life jacket đđĻđē) ty for the snaps and company @claratheartist + Gogo đž swipe until the end to see her with a heating pad on đ¤Ŗ she nudges it now when she wants me to put it on her, literally the cutest thing.. I love you sm @pupkaia #thisis10
Lake snax was McFarland trout @twoxseapdx@providorepdx with homemade preserved Meyer lemons and mixed with kewpie and garden green onions, brought fun seaweed I got from Japan last year, @thericefactory sushi rice, roasted sesame seeds and shichimi pepper đđđļī¸đ
Homemade pizza night with my dearest friends in Monterey, California and picking 25lbs of Meyer Lemons the next day đĨ˛đđ shot on the Ricoh griiix
(also note that as a photographer you will never get a not blurry photo of yourself when someone else takes it with your camera đ¤Ŗ, swipe through to see).
