Happiest birthday to this goddess!

From flying her own plane to hunting in camo and hiking wild places—she’s a total badass and a bombshell, always game for my wild ideas. Like wearing a dress made of real dahlias!

She's a client turned friend and one of the most genuine humans I know. I am grateful to know and celebrate you today!

Keep building epic things!

Tonight, I had the honor of photographing some of my favorite people—the dynamic sister duo behind For nearly a decade, we’ve shared laughs, swapped stories, and rented different studio spaces together over the years. After all the time they’ve spent capturing memories for others, it felt extra special to pour into them this time.

In case you didn’t know, I spent 15 years photographing weddings and portraits before transitioning to focus on B2B projects. But tonight was extra special. With tons of laughter, a decade of trust, and our collective skills, we made short work of it.

I can’t wait to share the images of these two beautiful souls (with relic doing their editing magic, of course). They’ve been behind the lens for countless Alaskan families, including mine, so it was a joy to flip the script and capture these two incredible women—who I consider the most iconic portrait photographers in Alaska.

My heart is all filled up speaking next to these amazing women and all those who came and shared their stories! What an honor to connect with you all! We talked all about branding and building the business and life you want 🥰 Your questions were amazing, honest, and vulnerable! Community is where it's at ladies!

Introducing the light and dark mead labels in this year's barrel-aged beer lineup for 2023. I'm excited to head into the winter season, have time for brand design, and flex my art muscles. Here is my first winter project wrapped!

The BHB crew tossed out the idea of Perzival and Ferifeiz, laying down their rich history. As I jumped into research, I envisioned them as the protagonists of dark and light Tarot cards. I did original watercolor paintings for these as it is one of my favorite mediums and fits the vibe. Like yin and yang, the beers begged for a representation of their opposing flavors on the labels.

🌑 Feirefiz 9.3% | 0 IBU
This beautiful dark libation was spontaneously fermented and aged in a Hungarian Oak barrel out in the Alaskan elements for 6 months. The associate brewer, Rick, combined wheat and roasted barley with honey from the Pacific Northwest to create this naturally soured black braggot. The label spills the secrets with details of smoke, cacao, and coffee plants, portraying the essence of these tasting notes.

🌕 Parzival 12.6% | 0 IBU
This traditional bochet honey mead was aged in a once-used Alaskan wheat whiskey barrel. After sitting on wood for 6 months, this mead expresses delicate flavors of caramel, wildflowers, and spice. The label shares details of wheat and oak leaves, paying homage to the barrel, while wildflowers nod to the floral notes. Oh, and there's a holy grail tucked into the border—a nod to the knight's journey of eventually finding the coveted treasure.

Join the crew for one or both unique dinner pairings, and enjoy all five beers on Dec 2nd & 16th! Tickets are available through BHB!

Lacey of and I are so excited to share a new offering this summer. This is your invitation to nurture your creative energy, explore your inner knowing and expand your full expression with your community. Each experience was created to bring you value and intentionally designed to add growth to your summer with wild and sacred connections. You can choose any class separately, as they are valuable as stand-alone sessions. They are also designed to build on each other and will have an extra layer of connection with those that journey through all three experiences together. However you chose to attend we are just over the moon about opening these experiences up and ready to meet you magical humans! Link in bio!

Remember how I told you I was starting a flower farm? Well, I did, and I freaking love it! I've taken a bit of time off from sharing on social but made sure to still document tons to share later, and now is that time! As the season progressed, it became clear that I didn't want to do this alone. So, I asked a few talented farmers to meet up after the season and share notes. We quickly started meeting often and decided to create a cooperative to sell our flowers together to our local florists and community!

Introducing....Alaska Fresh Flowers!

Sunny Days Flower Farm
Wild At Heart Flower Farm
Alpenglow Flower Farm
Wildwood Flower Co.

We are over the moon about this development and are just getting started! This week we have a ton of flowers coming in to have a photoshoot done.

Limited arrangements ready Saturday: $75 DM to snag! And many thanks for your support!

As a child, you did this all the time without even trying or overthinking. You could spend an entire day pursuing what felt fun, creatively exploring your way to that simple connection with life and knowing it felt right. Somewhere along the way, you grew up and fun, creativity and connection to self have been challenged and taken a back seat to work, bills, laundry and adulting. This escape is your chance to get back to the spirit of your inner child at play, immersed in creativity, exploring ways to integrate that back into your present. You remember more than you think you do! Come Play!

Retreat Update: We have sold out all bunk house spots and wanted to share on the blog a little more of our hearts in building this experience for those that are interested. Some shared cabins are still available!

I cannot contain my excitement for this announcement! I have been building businesses and exploring many ways to interface with creativity much of my life and a dream is unfolding to share it with you. Out of a desire to see more people unlock creativity to solve problems and understand the power, they have and I curated a creative escape; a guided experience of surrender and renewal for the entrepreneur!

The cornerstone of moving into a flow state with creativity and sharing a clear brand message is deeply rooted in your inner knowing. Your business is an expression of you, so foundationally, doing the deep inner work on yourself is the most effective place to put your time and energy.

The paradigm and teaching, especially in the business sector, that the only clear path to success is to go to an "expert" has cost me greatly. Have you ever been given the advice "fake it until you make it"? The energy of that puts pressure on you to perform in a way that is not inside your capacity at that moment and creates a scenario of deep disappointment when you cannot deliver. I have lost thousands to businesses that have overpromised and underdelivered because that is the model they were built on. We need to change this model that encourages a disconnect with authenticity of self and move to a practice that empowers entrepreneurs to operate in their true power.

You have a deep well of knowledge and creativity inside of you and with that comes the power to define your version of success. Unlock new pathways in the brain and heart to break new ground and change the landscape of your industry. When you connect with your inner knowing and tap into your creative potential, you remove the need for dependency on any other company, expert or guru to validate what's best for you. You are empowered to make big moves with authority and confidence in your inner knowing. You can build with integrity and offer a true expression of what you are meant to share with the world. This is your chance to unplug and embark on a self-honoring journey in a stunning remote location! Hop over to the site and explore what we are curating!

Today, I wanted to take a moment to get the conversation going and share that I have been working on this career shift for years. With a 15 year career in wedding/portrait photography, it has taken a few years to cycle out of my wedding commitments. The client journey was often 2+ years from initial inquiry to engagement pictures, wedding day, and then babies led to family portraits. I have photographed some families for over 10 years. It's been a fun and wild ride!

I have had a few dreams tugging at my heart for quite a while now and I am thrilled to start sharing more as this new chapter unfolds. I have run multiple businesses over the years and nothing was done by accident. I used to be annoyed that I couldn't pick just one thing and many business advisors warned me to not do too much because of what people might think. Honestly, now after running so many things, I'm convinced that's ridiculous advice! Try as many things as you want, grow, learn, stretch and you just might find some magic in being flexible and versatile. Challenging yourself builds character and I'm so grateful for everything I learned along the way.

From a successful Etsy shop "side-hustle" bringing in a cool 80k to many 6 figure years in photography, I started to recognize patterns for success in any business. This only became clearer when my husband and I added a co-working space and a brewery to the lineup of business we might "try." Lastly, running a business networking chapter for The Rising Tide Society for 5 years has allowed me the honor of walking beside hundreds of other creators, hustlers and boss babes/gents navigating the arena of entrepreneurship. These patterns for success were everywhere, no matter what people chose for a career or side-hustle.

Enter: Synergy Brandworks! A formal opportunity to share these crucial elements of growing a successful business. Hint Hint: it's not what you think and has everything to do with your inner knowing and connection to self! At Synergy, we will approach working together by holding space for you with intentionality and embark on a journey to co-create. This makes new pathways in the brain and heart to enrich your creative flow. This results in an effortless true expression of what you are meant to share with the world. Success is not defined simply by others' previous metrics and furthermore needs to align with your goals and truth. You can think of Synergy Brandworks like a business muse focused on creating harmony in your business with clear, approachable solutions custom-tailored for you. We help business owners get their power and time back all while making your business visuals smokin hot to boot! Cannot wait to share more about what this all looks like ahead. Stay tuned for an exciting announcement later today!
