Change is hard… but it’s also really good.
After years in Silicon Valley, we made the move to wine country—and it already feels like exactly where we are meant to be. Slower mornings, more space, and a chance to breathe a little deeper.
One thing that pushed us to make the leap was the unexpected loss of a dear friend. Her passing was a heartbreaking reminder that life is short. We don’t always get “someday.”
So here’s your nudge from me: whatever’s on your heart, just do it. Don’t wait. Life is meant to be lived. 💕
Cheers to new chapters, more beauty, and saying yes. 🍷🍇🍷

As some of you may know, my dear friend Tina Goro Vasbinder recently passed away after a courageous and hard-fought battle with triple negative breast cancer. Tina was like a second sister to me. She has been by my side since we were 18 years old. She meant the world to me and I miss her terribly. With the blessing of her family, we`ve partnered with Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation to raise funds in her honor. 100% of the money raised (less credit card fees) will go directly towards research, improving early diagnosis and creating better treatments.
Please take a moment to read more about my amazing, kind and well-loved friend and the TNBC foundation through the link below. Thank you in advance for your love and support. 💕

I should be packing for our move…
But instead, I’m here having a blast at my latest branding shoot!
Swapping cardboard boxes for creativity feels like the right choice, don’t you think?
Packing can wait—this is way more fun.

I have big news to share……
We are moving at the end of the month! Eek! I’ve been quiet here on social media because the last month I have been busy with Goodwill runs, packing and planning! It is a lot of work to pack up a house you’ve lived in for nearly 21 years as a family of six! 😅
But we are trading the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley for country living in wine country. 🍷🍇
I’ll still be working with clients on branding photo shoots and social media management but it may look a little different.
My husband and I are super excited for this new chapter in our life. And our kids are enthusiastic too! I have a dear friend who has been with me along this journey and while I’m a little nervous about the move (but mostly excited), I keep hearing her words whispered in my ear….”if not now, then when?”
So here we go!!! 🍇🍷🍇🍷
