852 Memories Made
I’ve always loved those AirBnb ads - you know the ones. The still images of warm light and lazy afternoons weaved together to music. They’re so inspiring, they make you you want to go on vacation right this second. After photographing a vacation rental for an editorial project last year I had an idea, and I just couldn’t shake it.
I realized when you stay in a vacation rental, it becomes your own private haven, a blank canvas where you live an adventure and create lasting memories.
Every time the door swings open, like a shaken etch-a-sketch, the house is reborn, the canvas is cleared and the new guests will create fresh memories in your wake.

Horizon Bank for Third Rail Creative in Austin, Tx.
Together we collaborate about most iconic scenes in Austin to creative a library of panoramic images for Horizon to use on their website as banners. I produced these images in panoramic so the file sizes would be significant. I’m ready to print these as big as they can get.
Jean’s Recipes
Jean Leng Howe was my husband’s Grandmother. She was married young to a man who spent his career at the forefront of the tech industry. Jean leaned pretty early that she was unable to have children. So she poured herself full steam into supporting her husband in all of his endeavors. They threw lavish dinner parties for “Mr Hewlett and Mr. Packard” “Mr. Zerox and Mr. Disney” just to drop a few. When she passed I asked for her hand written recipe cards. Cooking and entertaining was such a huge part of her life, capturing these priceless relic keeps her memory fresh.
