Scenes from an early summer, late afternoon Sydney beaches tour with the best guides: and 🌊
My witty, charismatic, silly, loving Grandpa passed away unexpectedly on Christmas Eve. A brigadier general, a master parachutist, a devout volunteer, the original prankster—he was one of my favorite people in the world.

Grandpa was truly one of a kind. When we were little and they’d pick us up from the airport, we’d find them in the arrivals area hiding behind newspapers wearing those disguise glasses with the bushy black eyebrows. When I was a sleepy teenager visiting them in Tucson, he’d slide a note under my bedroom door that read, “Can E come out to play?”—always eager to start our day together. When Olive passed away, he mailed me an anonymous letter from “Doggie Heaven,” assuring me she was okay. He called me “The Big E from Memphis,” despite the fact that I have absolutely zero ties to Memphis.

We had so many adventures together. From salmon fishing in Alaska, to boogie boarding in Hawaii, hosting them in Spain, to navigating muddy roads in Costa Rica—my memories with him span the globe.

He was the king of cards, homemade salsa, hot tubs, and beer. He taught me all my magic tricks, how to tell a good story, how to laugh in a shitty situation, and—most importantly—how to make people feel important.

If you met my Grandpa, there’s no doubt he left a mark on you. He made the rounds at every event, wedding, or gathering, sure to introduce himself to every single person in the room. He probably wouldn’t get your name quite right, but he’d remember you—and he’d continue asking about you for years to come.

I talked to my grandparents a few days before he passed. As we were about to hang up, he said, “Before we go, I just want to tell you how proud of you we are. No one says these things out loud these days, and we just want to be sure you know that.” But because he was who he was, I always knew—and I was so proud to be his granddaughter. (Cont in comments)
“Still, there are times I am bewildered by each mile I have traveled, each meal I have eaten, each person I have known, each room in which I have slept. As ordinary as it all appears, there are times when it is beyond my imagination.“

I’ll always remember 2025 as the year I photographed my first book, landed my first magazine assignment in Greenland, walked 500 miles across Northern Spain, gained a nephew, lived like a Brooklynite for ten days, spent a month living on a wooden ship in the Arctic, sailed across the North Atlantic while puking my brains out, made it to Australia, fell in loveeeee, moved in with, and spent quality time with so many friends and family. My most joyful year was just around the corner from one of my hardest and if this year was hard for you, I’m holding out hope that an abundance of joy is headed your way, too.
An adventure through Royal National Park, filled with the coolest birds, sneaky monitor lizards, aggressive gulls, and endless views. Highly recommend the coastal walk from Wattamolla Beach to Curracurrong Falls and a picnic on the beach when you return.

My world expanded so much when I started noticing and appreciating birds! I had no idea how colorful and cool the birds are in Australia—one of the best surprises of my trip.
Just back from the best long weekend in Tucson. We spent the weekend helping my grandparents get their Christmas decorations up, playing cards, hot tubbing, and watching the quail. We did manage to escape for a sunrise hike and made it back just in time to make pancakes. Tucson has always been such a treasured place in my life—I’m so excited to show you more of it in my book The Weekender—Tucson. Available for pre-order now at the link in my bio!
Wrapping up another unforgettable expedition sailing through Eastern Greenland with! It’s hard to describe just how special this place is to me. The Arctic is constantly shifting, making each expedition wildly unique. I could come back a thousand times and still find myself in total awe. To witness it from a schooner provides so much more perspective and access, allowing us to truly connect with the vast Arctic landscape. Experiencing the region and its wildlife over time has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

In exciting news, I’m hosting a trip with next year and you can join me! Dates coming soon, but reach out now if you’d like more information. Limited spots available.
A hello and some favorites from around the world over the years. Which is your favorite?
Olive and I are in the this week! Pumped to chat about how to print and frame personal photos and bring them to life in your home. I love when a home tells a story and there’s no better way to do that than with personal memories scattered throughout. A huge thank you to for the opportunity!
