Our native garden is working! Swallowtail butterfly.

Beauty is everywhere if you pause long enough to notice.

Eyes tell their own story. Here is one of my favorite recent portraits.

This cyanotype of lavender is apart of my summer series. I am loving the mustardy yellow.

A quiet moment caught in a puddle—reflections, texture, and a hint of summer stillness. 🌧🍂

Not a cloud in the sky—perfect cyanotype weather!
I’m out of 16x20 paper at the moment, so naturally… I went bigger.
Can’t wait to see how these prints turn out. Stay tuned! 🌞💙✨

Old Man’s Beard in golden hour.
The kind of light that makes you stop—and the soft, sweet scent that makes you stay a little longer.

Here’s a peek at a stack of wet cyanotypes mid-rinse—no two prints leave the bath the same.

Even the plants know how to pose when the light hits just right.
Golden hour turns my wall into a canvas—and I never miss a good silhouette moment.

We let our Japanese Maple grow wild and free- no shaping, just nature doing its thing. I love watching it do its thing.
