Anyone that knew Siegfried knew that he was an extraordinary cat. Extremely personable & trusting of humans… maybe even believing he WAS human. Adopting him in 2009 began my (almost) 17 year relationship with my familiar, my son, my best friend. We had such an incredible understanding of each other- Speaking a language that only we understood. Not a night or a nap went by without him snuggled into me like a teddy bear. He would welcome me home right at the door with a loud hello every-time. He would wait patiently on the stairs signaling that it was time to go to bed. I would rely on our routine of him waking me up every morning. He would sit at the table like a little man amongst friends knowing he was one of us. In my formative years from 19-36, he saw it all, being my constant & my support. He helped me choose my husband, and brothered my other cats. I am still getting used to him not being right at my side, and the house feels quiet. Hansel waits for him by the front door. My heart is absolutely shattered- I’ll miss him forever. No one will ever fill that void. Rest in peace my sweet boy- We love you so so so Much. I’m so proud of you 💔 6/18/09-5/11/26

This memorial day I am finally getting up the nerve to write about the recent passing of my grandfather, Donald Motter. He was so many things: a merchant marine, a pilot, a builder, a poet, a dancer, a potter, a fixer of all things, a father, husband, grand & great grandfather. He was my buddy, and a constant in our lives. Any concept of aging was completely null for him- building homes into his 70’s, skiing in his 80’s after 2 knee replacements, retiring finally at 90, installing hardwood floors, driving, gardening, & reciting poetry by memory in his last decade. He oozed love & support for every single member of our family. His love for my grandmother is an example that all of us cherish dearly. Walking me down the aisle at our wedding outside the home he built & we all grew up in is a memory I’ll hold onto forever. I’ll miss learning & working on projects with him, discussing our gardening plans, and just chatting. It’s been over a month now & it still feels surreal… despite him being 99, his death still surprised everyone because of his immortal nature. We know that you’re finally back with Grandmom, jitterbuggin & walking on the beach hand in hand. You’ve set the bar impossibly high…. Miss you endlessly Grandpop. 💔

Who else would be interested in a 1 day photo retreat package??

Continuing to share some of the images from Mermaid Bootcamp this past summer! 🧜‍♀️
and I hosted this double-photographer shoot day to create a restorative retreat; where art & expression could be a means of self-care.
We had such a wonderful day, and already plan to host another!

💜Community Over Currency💜 hopping on this trend, bc I am always preaching the value of trades- especially today in this economy! I love the barter system & know it can provide so much value & connection, especially to those talented folks struggling to prioritize groceries over haircuts, for example. I’m Throwing some old behind the scenes photos of me doing my thing at past photo shoots (thanks for so many butt pics ) as a reminder of my FAVORITE thing in the world to, and also the education I’m still in debt over.
