Nothing gets these two more hyped than the monthly Cheey delivery. Beau treats it like Christmas morning. Arrow acts…unimpressed. Still, I know that despite their different ways of showing it, they’re both equally excited (and grateful) for the new haul!

Honored to have a few of my wildlife shots featured in the East Hampton Gardener’s Almanac exhibit this week. Missed the closing by literally an hour, but got to catch some of it still hanging in the East Hampton Library (one of the nicest libraries I’ve ever seen btw!).

I’ve been thinking about the “Never AI” movement. As someone who makes a living both as an artist and a partner in a creative agency, I definitely get where they’re coming from. But blaming AI for the devaluation of art and creativity feels like a cop-out.

Haha it does definitely get hard to differentiate!

It’s been a stretch of scorchers lately. Whether you’re cooling off the Beau way or taking a page from Arrow’s book, stay cool out there, friends.

New Beau + Arrow comic! Fishing isn’t just about catching fish. It’s about the experience—the quiet moments in nature, the time spent with friends (or alone), and the stories you take home. Beau clearly knows that. Hopefully, Arrow has learned the lesson too. 🎣

New Substack Photo Journey! My birthday just passed, so it felt like the perfect time for an extended golden hour reflection on what I want this year to look like—and what I can do to help myself be a little happier.

🇺🇸 Even in difficult times, it’s worth remembering the freedoms this country was built on and the power we have to keep fighting for what those freedoms mean to us. Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

Fun woodworking project from the weekend: built a new strawberry planter box. Running out of places to plant things, so I guess it’s time to start building up haha. Also used it as an excuse to sneak one of my favorite dahlias into the garden. 🍓🌼🪚

I post sunsets on Fridays as a close out to the hustle of the week. It’s better when I can incorporate a lighthouse in that post as a reminder not to lose sight of goals even as you close out the week.
Have a great weekend!

I finally decided to block out my imposter syndrome whispering “you’re not talented enough to charge for your work” and added a paid option to my Substack.
