the good stuff
This page feels a little like letting you rummage through my camera bag, my closet, and my kitchen drawers at the same time.
These are the things I reach for—on session days, slow mornings, emergency playground visits, vacations, and everything in between. The gear that’s actually worth it, the little things that make life feel softer, and the pieces of my business that quietly hold everything together.
Some of the links on this page are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to use them. It’s a simple way to support my little business—but truly, I only share things I love, use, and would recommend to a friend without hesitation.

A go-to resource for making blogging actually make sense.
Clear, practical, and actually helpful when you’re trying to get your work seen without feeling like you’re yelling into the void.
Where my work becomes something you can actually hold. From prints to albums, this is my go-to for turning digital galleries into tangible, heirloom-quality pieces that feel just as good as the memories themselves.
[dog-eared, reread, and worth passing along.]
A mix of stories, perspective-shifters, and books that changed the way I see both life and work.

For the little years
[the things that get played with, not just displayed & thrown away.]

Buying a Yoto Box is one of the best things I ever did for myself and for Henry! It provides screen-free entertainment, encourages solo-play and he has learned so much from the songs and stories. If you peek around and find something you love, reach out for 10% off your first order!
We're all about minimal toys over here. Not only does fewer toys encourage more creativity, but it also significantly decreases clutter around the house (which drives me up a wall). Grab $20 off a Play Kit subscription with the link below.
every issue is packed with hands-on projects, recipes, stories, nature activities, and little invitations to wonder that pull us away from screens and toward each other. it's thoughtful without feeling precious, and creative without requiring a trip to the craft store.
