WanderLush is a collaboration with my two Sons and my Father - devoted to The World as We’ve Seen It. It is a multi-layered project primarily a summary of our travels, and our photography - with a long term vision of creating a platform for all to save and preserve the World as You’ve Seen it!

This project was inspired when I realized that my Dad’s passion for photography and travel was not only handed down to me, but to my two sons as well. I realized this after visiting both studying abroad in Europe in 2019 and 2022, and seeing their incredible images of their travels. My sons are now young men in their own careers in other fields. They are based in London and New York City, and travel and photograph frequently for work and pleasure. My Father, now 92, has been an avid traveler photographer and adventurer his whole life too, so this collection also includes some of my Father’s VINTAGE SLIDES as well.

Our complete TRAVEL COLLECTION is visible on my HOME page under PLACES WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR. This is also a collection of my OTHER PORTFOLIOS as well, that I have created over the past 35 years including my other work in Portraiture, Florals, Product Photography and Interiors. In addition I write an occasional current STORIES with images as well.

This fall 2026, I am introducing my store and my images through 25 CURATED SETS OF BLANK NOTE CARDS, meant for personal connection. 17 of the sets are destination-themed with a dozen unique cards in each box of one location. 8 of the sets are “Specialty” sets including Florals, Skies, Doors of the World, and my Dad’s Vintage Slides. See images of these products coming soon in fall 2026.

My path traveled to arrive at this place included Journalism school, work for a magazine publisher, eventually as the Photo Editor for seven publications. I then operated a Black & White Portraiture business in film, hand printing my products in a collaborative professional darkroom in Portland, Oregon. After the digital revolution, I worked in product photography & branding for a wonderful jewelry artist, and I also did some interiors & architectural photography for Houzz.com. So, this website includes my other work as a photographer including Portraiture, Florals, Product Photography and Interiors.

I consider this a long term and layered project with many more layers currently in development. Next year for example, I am working to include a NOURISH section with our favorite recipes, since providing food and gathering friends and family has been such a big focus in my life and now a passion of both my sons.

My Life’s Purpose has been to make the most of every opportunity - to explore our world - and to gather, nourish, support, celebrate, enjoy, and love my special orbit of people that surrounds me. I live in gratitude every day!

This is my life’s body of work, and I invite you to know us. I appreciate you taking the time to be here. Welcome!

Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
…When you’re gone, who remembers your name?
Who keeps your flame?
You really do write like you’re running out of—
Time
I’m still not through…
I ask myself, “What would you do if you had more—”
Time
And when my time is up, have I done enough?
Will they tell our story?
Can I show you what I’m proudest of?
And when my time is up
Have I done enough?
