Happy New Year!

Here's to a new year; to dreaming bigger, working hard, and making things happen! 

Mukilteo Beach Film

Life has been busy and I haven't updated in forever, obviously, but I finally got around to scanning some of my instax photos from the summer. And I will be [attempting] to [slowly] upload them all here. These were from a late summer sunset at Mukilteo beach. I love how the golden light from the sunset was reflecting and dancing across the dark surface of the water.

Brick Walls & Speckled Light

Late August sunshine + a (new!) pair of perfect sandals.

Daisies

Paradise

Looks kind of like tropical paradise on a cloudy afternoon? How about these palms are actually growing in an abandoned parking lot in Lynnwood, off of Highway 99, if you can believe that. Such great juxtaposition and a reminder that beauty really is everywhere if you look for it! 

Roche Harbor

Even though most of the day the island was covered in a giant blanket of fog, in typical pacific northwest style, it cleared up enough to enjoy a gorgeous sunset over the harbor. Such incredible reflections on the water, I especially loved the orange and blue rippling together. Perfect use of complementary colors in nature (not to mention my very favorite combination of complementary colors) and perfect end to the day.

San Juan Island Film

On a crisp foggy morning, that felt more like October than late July, we hopped on a ferry and wove our way through the mist and sea to San Juan Island. It wasn't the most ideal weather for whale watching (and unfortunately we didn't spot any), but man, those beaches draped in fog and warm gray light were something else.
