This little labor of love, Studio Margo, is this close 🤏🏻 to opening!
-
Studio Margo is a place for me to work, create and teach. There will also be rental opportunities for photographers, creative teams and others who need a bright, white, blank canvas.
-
Inside the studio is fiber internet, all white floors, a snuggly couch, table for as many as 8 and lots of open shooting space.
-
Obviously opening a space like this up is scary! I hope anyone who wishes to use it will treat it well to keep it nice for a long time to come.
-
It’s located walking distance from the Bainbridge Seattle ferry on the Bainbridge side. It’s in a building with other businesses and up a flight of stairs with no elevator access.
-
More booking details coming soon!

Next up to edit, the cutest of sisters.

The time is almost here for my yearly Black Friday

The time is almost here for my yearly Black Friday sale! Here’s is everything you need to know:
-
1. The sale opening will be announced here on IG. Usually around 9am on Black Friday. You go to my booking page, choose your date and time, pay your booking fee and sign your contract.
-
2. Mountain dates are the most popular and sell out fast! Be prepared.
-
3. Other types of sessions are included in the sale! (Newborn sessions, local sessions)
-
4. A very few number of mentorship opportunities will be available from the sale for family photographers.
-
5. In years past, as many as 70 sessions (all sessions, not just adventure) have been included in the sale. That number will be much lower this year. I’m taking on fewer sessions in 2023 overall.
-
6. There will be some additional availability outside the sale but not at a discounted price of course! ❤️
-
7. If you are not local, a few travel sessions will be in there too! (Ahem, Big Sur CA)

Once in a blue moon when I’m hiking with my fami

Once in a blue moon when I’m hiking with my families (who are dressed nicely) we will get snotty comments from people decked out head to toe in the entire store of REI coming the opposite way down the trail.
-
Many times, these people haven’t hiked much farther than we hike. But I got with me a badass mama doing it in heels, a dad with a baby on his shoulders and often a well-dressed explorer like this little one hiking in the cutest outfit you ever did see.
-
Like, sir. This tiny child just did the same hike you did. Sure, if you see us up on Everest- make a comment but we can SEE the parking lot 🙄.
-
It’s always a good reminder to not give two shits what people think about you as long as you aren’t hurting anyone.

Mountain season is wrapping up and I’m so sad! I’ll miss these views, these sun-drenched hikes, seeing new faces and reconnect with others.
-
A shoot like this isn’t for the faint of heart. Reaching these places requires a lot of time + energy on the part of my clients. I want to say that you for putting in all the work you do on your side.
-
I’ve really come to see my shoots as more of a partnership rather than me simply providing a service. Together we brave the roads, the winds, the ups and downs of kiddo behavior.
-
All of it fits into this little 50 minute snippet of a story: a tiny spark of the bright, all encompassing love that makes a family.
-
Honored to be part of the story in these wild places ❤️

Behind comparison, fear of judgment is the thing t

Behind comparison, fear of judgment is the thing that hold us creatives back the most.
-
Who are you worried about seeing your content? Is there content you want to create and almosssst do but then… don’t?
-
Because what if that girl from high school sees? Your old co-worker? Your mom? Even your husband?
-
The fear of judgement can be be downright debilitating! However, if I could give you friendliest ever *slight shove*, it would be to push you past this fear.
-
Any negative judgement about you going live, creating a reel, posting your pricing has NOTHING to do with you and everything to do with the judgement giver.
-
It’s literally none of your business lol!
-
I know it’s easier said than done but letting go of the fear of judgement and living, creating and doing what you want is the equivalent of soaring through the clouds with a beaming smile on your face. Pure. Joy.
-
So, try it this week. Take the judgment you fear, crumple it into a ball and throw it in the fire and SHOW UP.

Well, fellow PNW photographers at least we got a smoke free summer.

Hoping everyone threatened by the fires stays safe and that our skies cleared soon.

Wild to me that from 1992 when I moved here to 2015 smoke was unheard of here. 💨 🏔

These absolute beauties + my favorite mountains ❤️🏔

A reminder this school year to fight for your chil

A reminder this school year to fight for your children’s creativity. Love their drawings, listen to their songs, carefully touch the edges of their tiny creations.
-
This summer, creativity bloomed in the walls of my house: felt animals, felt books, towns, villages, plastic animal family dramas, smudged ink sunsets.
-
I know those tiny shops close down in Fall to make room for memorization and facts and ridiculous math.
-
I’m not anti school. But I really dislike the way creativity is nudged into the closets of their childhood to bury them in one million tiny nuggets of knowledge.
-
If I had infinite time + money, I’d send them to a school to bake and draw and push needles through fabric and decorate cupcakes and hold hands and sing and capture light in poems/ink/pencil/chalk/drippy flowy water colors and make websites and code and learn how finances work and sure- complicated calculator math if you are into it.
-
This is the school of my dreams. But it’s not the school of reality. I’m not interested in homework cutting into time spent learning front flips on my trampoline. It’ll be hard to bite my tongue as they cry over math they’ll never use because they got my brain- a brain the bumbles numbers up into a washing machine of fog.
-
If they grow up to be computer scientists, math teachers, engineers- there’s time for those passions to take hold. I don’t like that we shove their wonderful imaginations aside to chase STEM. They aren’t alllllll gonna work at google. My goodness. Their futures are going to be complicated in a million different ways. We don’t just need one type of brain to solve problems. I sense it all the time in the way our society talks about grades: an A in art is as light as feather compared to an A in trig. But one does NOT weigh more.
-
I’m happy my girls are back at school. They love school. But I’m sad too- for what we lose in the pursuit of *knowledge*.
