As we turn ever so slowly into the corner that we call Fall, I am thinking about milestones. Wander launched last Fall. A year ago or so (officially in November) it went from an idea, a conversation, many conversations, brainstorming and branding, praying and thinking, and the beautiful start of something new.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The first of five reasons why I started Wander (#1): I felt a gentle nudge to embrace the work that was coming instead of chasing after work I thought I was supposed to find. I've been working with @localfixture for over 4 years now, and I have absolutely loved every moment of getting to know their business. They've graciously given me creative space to figure out their marketing over time, and I loved the process. Finding a voice, a visual aesthetic, a feel for a brand. Honing that and crafting that has felt rewarding. Not just on social media or paper, but knowing that my business exists to support another local business I love and admire. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Can I admit something to you? I dragged my feet and took my time and shed some actual tears with the changes of Wander coming to fruition. I was scared it wouldn't stick (lame of me). I was nervous it would look like I was "changing my mind" about weddings and family work. Is it okay to evolve and change your mind? It's silly to think that these were real fears, but they were and I've worked through it significantly. I really love my work. If a camera is in my hand, and I'm creating something for someone, I am content and joy-filled.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Wander started because of a gentle push into an amazing line of work that had been planted a few years ago. I loved working for LF and thought, "can I do this for other businesses in Whittier?". ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Tomorrow I'll lay out (if you'll stick around!) what I had to let go in order to make space for Wander. Thanks for being here and drop a line or question if you've got one. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ xo, Beth / Wander Creative Ps. Why a photo of Kyle and I? Well, when I first told him about the idea of Wander he just smiled and said “You should definitely do that”. No hesitation. Appreciate that about him and always learning from him. 📷 by our sweet friend // @mhsar
Heading back to London (10 years later)and Paris (6 years after our honeymoon) this Fall and my heart is about to burst with excitement. We are ready for lots of wandering around parks, museums, gardens, pubs, cafes, and just taking it all in once again. For now though, lots of editing and lining up content for clients, and riding through this heat wave as best as I can. Have a swell Thursday, friends.
I hope this does not surprise you: I am incredibly ready for the days to get cooler, the fall colors to start showing up everywhere (almost everywhere but in nature for the time being around here), and some fall cooking to take shape. Fun fact: I haven't turned our oven on since the end of May! Which is for a variety of reasons (committing to no gluten for a season makes it easier to cut out baked goods all together). Our home gets incredibly warm with our oven on as it is a gas stove, and it heats up our whole house. In the winter it's divine. In the summer, it's dreadful. I am surprised that we've been able to manage our meals with just the grill and stovetop (and rice cooker and crockpot). But I do look forward to the day when we turn the oven on once again. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I mentioned in a few stories that I was considering baking a cake on the grill, and it turned out lovely. I was of course nervous that it'd be disastrous with uneven heat, but it worked swimmingly. We've since used our grill for sweet potatoes, el pastor, and other things we'd use on the stovetop. So if you're roasting hot inside your home during this heat wave and want to keep your kitchen cool, don't be afraid to experiment with what you can do outside on your grill. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Alright lovelies, all for now. Hunkering down for some editing today and a little shoot tonight. Exciting news and announcements coming your way.
Hello friends, it's been a minute (yet again). The last few weeks have been a beautiful blur. Work, life, ministry, art, gardening, celebrations, and just generally keeping a packed schedule because life is good and there's so much to drink in. Lots to be grateful for (so many thank you notes in the works).⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I did a shoot with @the_chicken_bodega last week. A fairly new spot in town on Whittier Blvd. I snapped away and enjoyed their classic chicken/salad/fries dish when I was done, and I can say their food is as good as it looks. Have you tried it yet? I hope you're able to stop by soon. The colors and light were fun to photograph alongside their dialed in menu.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Have a wonderful weekend, Whittier. And PS: thank you to everyone that came to my photo exhibit yesterday! It was a really special evening.
