2012 was an incredible year in so many ways. I made huge strides with my health, photography and in my relationships. It was also a tough year filled with transitions, setbacks and more testing of my faith and patience than I cared for. I feel as though 2012 was gearing me up for the magic and wonder that is going to be 2013. I really can’t wait to see how the coming year unfolds and share it with my husband. Thank you to everyone who followed along as I photographed each day of my life this past year. It may sound silly, but there were times when I wanted to give up but your kind sentiments kept me going. I hope you continue to…

The show was such fun. The crowd was absolutely amazing and the girls looked stunning in their red lips and vintage attire. The show also raised $1200 for the Cascade AIDS Project, which is incredible. A special thank you to Liz Gross, owner of Xtabay, for making this short girl’s dream come true: I never thought I would have the pleasure of walking a runway show and now, I have! Just in case you weren’t able to make it to the show, you can still see us strut our stuff modeling the amazing vintage coats, cocktail dresses and gowns. I wanted to share a few of the wonderful photographs taken by my husband (edited by mio). You can view the entire album on my facebook page. First up, were coats… Next came…

The days have become cold, rainy and grey but a little bit of sunshine came to my door in the form of a Birchbox. November’s box was all about being thankful and giving back. The box was filled with products from brands that are dedicated to raising awareness for environmental and social causes, plus products that the Birchbox Team see as their own personal lifesavers. Mox Botanicals Lip Butter: This lip butter is made right here in my hometown, Portland! Absolutely no artificial ingredients? Yes, please! Lulu Organics Hair Powder: I was so happy to see this in my Birchbox! I have been wanting to try it for ages. Since my hair is getting longer, I’ve been wanting to invest in some dry shampoo. John Varvatos…
