What a year it’s been… wow.

This carousel holds a few of the quieter, more raw moments that made 2025 so special to me.

I don’t often share much of my personal life here, but this year felt worth reflecting on. 2025 was full, I mean so incredibly busy, and yet still unbelievably rewarding. Personally and professionally, it stretched me in ways I never could have imagined.

From chasing the aurora in Iceland, to welcoming our fur baby Margot into our lives, which somehow led to buying her a backyard and a 100 year old house we now call home. That alone kept us busy, but apparently not busy enough. Between projects and working with brands I once only dreamed of creating for, The North Face, Airbnb, RBC, and Kia to name a few, (which still feels wild to type) we decided to renovate…Which turned into re-doing almost the entire house. A massive DIY project to say the least, but a new feel that is purely ours.

Add in all the travel, the in between moments, the memories, and recently crossing 100,000 of you here on Instagram, it has been a year I will always be grateful for.

Here’s to 2026. I can’t wait.

Happy New Year, and thank you for being part of my journey 🙌🏼🏡🐶🏔️💙

Merry Christmas everyone! 🥳❄️⛷️🍁
