A photo journal comprised of my thoughts on motherhood and other life happenings, as well as some of professional work as a photographer. Southern California is home.
Willy and I have frequent conversations about life, our jobs, our passions and how each of these interacts with one another. Sometimes working for the man takes a toll. We both have had times throughout our careers where we’ve wondered if we chose the right path and have been enticed by what another path may offer. I think this is only normal. I felt complete when I started my photography business and I love doing it in conjunction with my career in nursing because they both offer me different things that I need and want out of life. Seeing how much joy having a creative outlet has brought me led to a discussion with Willy on doing things, outside of our careers, that enables us to use another part our brain and allows us to get our hands dirty. Work that doesn’t feel like work, if you will. And with that, The Bee & The Fox was born. It’s a collaborative effort between the two of us (and Janet, who has put together some wonderful designs for us) and it has come together beautifully in both theory and reality. It’s the first project we’ve worked on together, aside from raising our boys, and having something that we can share excitement and pride in has been so fulfilling. It’s also nice to work for ourselves and have creating be primary and income be secondary (because we have careers already, this is something we want to do and that sure helps in the stress department).
So with no further adieu, we present: The Bee & The Fox; primarily a collection of handmade shelves and children’s t-shirts as well as and a few things we couldn’t say no to over the years that need a good home. It’s been a long time in the making and something that feels great to check off that long term to-do list.
We would love for you to take a peek.

YES. Where can I make my first purchase?! Those shelves, I want.
I am so happy for you! I fully believe in chasing your dreams, and that you have! My brother-in-law and myself have been creating a little pop up shop with children’s furniture, but taking the final leap is easier said than done. Hats off to you!

The link to our shop is in the text portion of the post 🙂
what size is van wearing? my toddler is almost 2 and probably around the same.
They are both in a size 2, ha! It’s obviously a bit more snug on Hooper but a size 4 was too baggy.
thanks!! just ordered one. i’ll instagram you a shout out as soon as it gets here.
You’re the sweetest. Really appreciate you.
Congratulations on your new venture!!!!!
Love it!!!!!
Congratulations! You have the perfect little models too, but you knew that already.
Oh I do NOT. They don’t listen for shit. But, I guess I can catch them in enough “moments”. Perfect models would be easy. They ain’t easy 😉
