She works full-time as a photographer in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle. She hangs out mostly with the people that frequent her couch: her husband, teenage daughter and various pets. Aside from photography, her hobbies mostly involve roller skating, rabbits, holiday decorating, subversive cross-stitch, all things 1960’s era and David Bowie.
