Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday weekend. On Saturday I got to venture out to the Mount Vernon area in Washington to see the famous tulip fields in bloom for the first time. The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival consists of flower fields dispersed throughout the Skagit Valley and was inaugurated in 1984. What a […]
An Enchanted Photo Journey Through Washington Park Arboretum
New Year’s Day turned out to be quite chilly. Not cool enough to keep me from grabbing my camera and meandering through one of the local parks though. 😉 It was my first time venturing around the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle and what a treat it was. The lighting was interesting that day, harsh […]
The White-sand Beaches of Western Florida
Continuing on the Florida vacation photo tour, the next stop is an in-depth look at some of the white-sand beaches around the St. Pete Beach area. Such amazing scenery down there!

Magical Summer Woodland Fairy Photos

My book of choice this year was Brian Froud and Alan Lee’s “Faeries.” This non-fiction fantasy classic includes watercolor illustrations of mythic occidental creatures. I used to pore over the pages when I was […]
Maleficent like You’ve Never Seen Her: A Chilling Rendition of ‘Sleeping Beauty’s’ Prime Witch
I have had Maleficent on the brain lately. I’m in high anticipation of the upcoming movie and also am a sucker for dark fairy-tales in general. Recently I meandered through the cyber forests of deviantArt to look for works paying homage to the famed “Sleepy Beauty” witch. I stopped dead in my tracks when I […]
Fantasy, Photography, and Feminism: Interview with BookTuber Paige Firth
BookTuber. Book blogger. And mother of (bearded) dragons. That almost sums up writer Paige Firth. I got a chance to talk to Firth, the owner of the ever-growing YouTube channel Enchantology, about her up-and-coming BookTubing career. In the process of meeting Paige, I discovered that she is one savvy, fascinating woman. Not only is she in the […]
Springtime in the Rockies
I took a trip out to western Montana last month and shot this photo right before a snowstorm hit. The weather is very changeable during the springtime in the Rockies. Sometimes 0-60 degrees in a matter of days. 😉 Well…maybe not that bad. But close! After I finished taking snapshots, I immediately rushed back to […]
