Hello, world! 💐

I’m Bridget. I’m from the PNW and love to photograph the world around me.

I’m a social media marketing professional by day, and an adjunct marketing prof by night. Weekends are for adventures, games, snacks, & naps.

Nice to virtually meet you in this lovely corner of the internet!

hosted a little game night and realized I unintentionally had coworkers present from FIVE different jobs

I’ve only worked at 7 places lol

they’ve shown up for me in more ways I could imagine. grateful to have crossed paths with such amazing people.

the work was temporary, connections are forever.

#Seattle / #Bellevue folks

I’m taking photos tomorrow to raise money for a friend in a dire situation

He’ll soon be unhoused and lose his service dog

He’s a former coworker who has faced a series of unfortunate events, it could happen to any of us

Message me to book 🙏 thank you for your support

accidentally fried my work laptop

while IT was setting me up with a new one, they said, one time, someone showed up and didn’t know where their laptop was ??

when further questioned, they casually said they put it on the roof of their car while loading up and it flew off somewhere along the way 😂😂

did some rough math and realized I’ve spent well over 10,000 hours driving my Prius since 2014

does that make me a subject matter expert on driving Prii

the way my music shuffled from Killing In The Name by Rage Against the Machine to the New Seekers singing I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing

feels like the American experience rn

mentioned to my dentist that I’ve seen him for almost a decade now

“this practice has only been open 6 years though?”

and then he learned 2016 was actually 9+ years ago

the pandemic years really did a number on our perception of time

parents waiting with their teens for the bus in suburbia gives me flashbacks discovering the metro bus at 12 with my friends, no way for our parents to track us - bopping around Capitol Hill, U district, Northgate, until learning transfer tickets expire & getting stranded with no money or phones 💀

Shoutout to the child with the bubble gun for the clutch timing 🫧 and to my phone stretching the last 1% of it’s battery for one last picture

after a lifetime of living in the area, I witnessed my first whale breaching in the PNW, in the middle of Elliott Bay from the ferry to Bainbridge 🥹
