Collections of Moss & Lichen

I met Rylee over the summer while we were both taking a screen printing class. She’s the kindest soul and we share so much in common. We have matching glasses and we’re pretty much a pinterest tag...

Ladd’s Addition

Sometimes you just feel really grateful for the people in your life and the opportunities you’re given. I’ve been having a really grateful weekend. My current assignment in my photography class...

St Johns

Photos from an early afternoon walking around the St Johns neighborhood. It’s a lesser loved part of town but there are some great hidden gems tucked in there. Good vintage shopping, an amazing...

A Walk Through My Neighborhood

I took a walk around my neighborhood last week to work on a school project and to enjoy the golden light. I ended up using a couple of these photos for the project and I thought I would share the...

Autumn Spirits

With fall around the corner I’ve been searching the web for delicious food and drink recipes. Pumpkin, apple, and cinnamon are all major players here and I am totally good with that. Here are a few...

Lost Lake

Since summer is quickly coming to an end and my life has finally calmed down a bit, I thought it was time to share some of my summer and get back into my internet routines! It’s been super busy...

Light Studies

I decided to give the peonies one last life before they had to be composted. Inspired by Alice’s peony studies at Lingered Upon and the Natura Morta collection by Gentl & Hyers. I’ve been ever so...

Life in 10 Pictures

Definitely not a complete picture of what’s been happening over here, but it’ll work for now. Not pictured: a lot of time on campus, pups, late nights, a messy home, and trying to keep life FUN....

Spring Foliage

I’m just in time to share these Spring photos with you before Summer comes around for good (at least for a couple months). When we told people we were moving to Oregon the question we were asked...

Experiments in Smoke

A few weeks ago we were preparing for our quick camping trip to the beach and stopped in a local army surplus store for supplies. We saw a basket of these colored smoke bombs at the checkout...

Over the Weekend

We had the weirdest mix of weather this week, but Alex has been on break from school so we’ve been trying to soak up some outdoors time no matter what the weather gave us. Luckily Friday and...

Looking Up

Not many words, just a couple photos from a walk on a beautiful Portland day. Unrelated. One of my favorite illustrators, Sandra Juto, is offering buy one get one on her prints today!

Public Art Projects

Earlier this week I helped Alex with the execution and documentation of a project for his Ideas & Form class. The project involved creating a public display of art and I have to say this was a...

Angel’s Rest

This weekend we took a break from our work to escape the city. We took a 30 minute drive east of the city to Angel’s Rest trail near Multnomah Falls. We made it about 3/4 through the trail before...

A Little Fresh Paint

About a year ago we bought this table at Value Village for $15. We painted it once and I repainted it again a couple weekends ago since we’re now using the table as a desk. It’s nice to have a...

Tina Hellberg

Prop styling is one of my favorite things. I love a stylist who uses different textures to frame a photo. These images are styled by Swedish stylist, Tina Hellberg. Simply beautiful!

Terrarium Love

Alex was in classes all day on Tuesday so we celebrated our love on Wednesday. Our love ended up manifesting itself into this pretty little terrarium you see below. We stopped at Porch Light on...

Happy Valentine’s Day

North Williams: Ink & Peat // Lark Press

One of the shops we visited, Ink & Peat, has the most amazing natural light you could ask for. I couldn’t help but snap away with pictures while we were enjoying everything they had in store. While...

Photos from the Weekend

Our weekend went a little like this. It was fun, productive, eye opening, amazing. We started the fun on Friday night with our friends Andrea and Mike. Dinner at Los Gorditos and our first real...

Good Mail Days

I love good mail days. A few days this last week I would look at the clock anxiously waiting for the mail man. I’m hoping for another piece of mail that should be coming my way soon; an acceptance...

We eat food

Lately I’ve been tricking my body and feeding it some pretty healthy goods. Some parts of my body seem to like it and other parts seem to still be making up their mind. In the morning I usually...

Plenty of Textures

I’m realizing with my photo a day project that one of my most frequently photographed subjects are textures. Magnifying the details in common surroundings seems to catch my eye. These photos were...

Winter Light & Moss

We’re in the middle of the Portland winter season. Limited light and lots of moss growing outside of our home. I’m looking forward to the next few days of warmer temperatures and more sunlight....

It’s Aliiiiiive!

Over the last few weeks I’ve been working (when time allowed) on a new design for LLSS. I wanted something more clean, sophisticated, and pleasing to the eye. I took a note from some of my favorite...

Schoolhouse Electric

After hearing a number of people talk about Schoolhouse Electric and their new showroom Alex and I took a couple hours out of our Sunday to explore. This place is exactly our cup of tea. Our...

Quiet Evenings

I feel like this week has been a roller coaster and I’m not really sure why. Maybe the winter gray is getting to me or it’s just the stress of the unknown. I’m having a hard time pin pointing what...

Quiet Mornings

We’ve been having many quiet winter mornings around here. Morning fog, geese flying over, and puppy cuddles.
