Autumn walk with Gayle & Kenny
I miss Corvallis. I miss 1st street & shoetini’s. I miss the farmer’s market & Zia’s flour tortillas, hecho de mano. I miss biking 26th & running the Circle extension trail. I miss pumpkin chocolate chip muffins at New Morning. I miss Weatherford & Crazy Carol. I miss pesto on my pizza at American Dream....

Friday was one of those days. Those days where you’re running a little late. One of those days you have your slacks, belt, but you get stuck at the sweater, so you start over. One of those days you decide to just default to jeans. Holey jeans, because it’s Friday. Holey jeans, because I can. I can, because...
street fotoNovella: Shelby & Alisha
I have a thing for the earthy-urban vibe! You know, the non-conformists you find on the city streets of Seattle & Portland in wool shirts & Goodwill jeans: a total Pacific Northwest feel. My sister tried to get me on the style-track to hyppie-ness when she gave me a distressed-leather purse and natural-fiber, Seattle-brand skirt...
our fotoNovella: Amanda & Jordyn.
I have an all-year-round, any-occasion, pants-or-skirt affinity for boots. I’m drooling over this season’s above-the-knee boots.

I pulled a (nearly) all-nighter sewing a wool vest in just the right color to match my vintage boots found in Encinitas. & it...

“Admit it. You have grandma tendencies.”
I didn’t find the observation to be all that amusing, having premature, greying hair, and all: not cool. Because, really: who do you know who wants to be like her grandma at age 24? Or tries to compete with the height of her grandma’s beehive? Or makes her grandma’s old...
senior fotoNovella: Tyler.
Tyler is a great example of why I love my small town. I don’t know everyone, but I inevitably know someone everywhere I go. I’ve been running into Tyler & his family for years. It all started with horse 4-H when I gave Tyler horse riding lessons. Then, last year Tyler was the ‘good kid’...
senior fotoNovella: Kayla.
I drive country roads like it’s a hobby. Don’t judge. I think you have to live in Eastern Oregon to understand we don’t have a lot of entertainment options. Let’s see: people-watching at Wal*mart? cat-fishing in the dark? rat-stomping in the cornfield? Nope. NO. No thank you. So, along with taking-up collecting boots, brass door...
