I’m Bethany

hey there,

Growing up in Humboldt County, I developed a deep appreciation for beauty. I would sit on the edge of my couch for hours watching the many gathered robins search for worms outside, admiring God's creation. I'd often bike to Clam Beach and I would sit until the sun set on the beach listening to the crashing waves and watching the seagulls fly by, in awe of God's wonder. I'd inhale the biggest breath I could as I walked through the Redwood Forest and soak in all the majestic sights and smells as I breathed in God's goodness in my life.
As a young Christian, I discovered my identity as a creative artist and committed to always thank the Lord for being the Master Designer. From the age of nine, I began using my mother's DSLR camera, and every birthday and Christmas I'd ask for film. I worked hard babysitting mostly to have the funds to be able to develop the film! To me, photography transcends mere images-it captures memories and feelings.
When I'm not behind the camera, you might find me taking walks with my husband and four children, watercoloring next to a lit candle, in a blanket with a fresh cup of chai, or learning a new skill through YouTube tutorials. Most mportantly, I cherish the people in my life and love to soak in moments, conversations, and time with my family.
At the heart of my business, a philosophy developed when I was young, I believe in proclaiming God's love in all I do, desiring to bring Him all the glory.

Fun facts about me

  • The drink depends entirely on the season.

    Summer: Kombucha

    Fall: Chai

    Winter: Cappuccino

    Spring: Probably all of the above depending on the day!

    Dick Taylor Chocolates by the boardwalk in Eureka has amazing coffee (and the most amazing chocolate and cozy atmosphere to sit and relax!). I’d highly recommend.

  • It all depends of the vibe.

    The dunes can be romantic and striking.

    The redwoods can be whimsical and moody.

    The ocean is flirtatious and exhilarating.

    The prairie is comfortable and relaxing.

    Take me to all the places! I couldn’t choose a favorite!

  • A good roll-on perfume and cute earrings.

    My go-to perfume is from The Humboldt Mercantile in Old Town Eureka. It has a subtle hint of patchouli (my favorite scent!).

    I find the best earrings at Land of Lovely, just next door!

  • Watercoloring, simple crockpot meals, buying sweaters, and winning at card games (Rooke, Up the rRver and Pinochle). haha!
