Welcome, I’m Tristian!
Photographer | Bread Enthusiast
I adore all sorts of hobbies from baking to gardening to jewelry making. Here is where you can find a mish mash of all of those things while I learn to slow down in life. I have recently discovered a love of traveling and my wanderlust is fierce. I often temper that with recipes, short trips, and reading about the places I plant to visit.
Slowing down
Here you’ll find:
- Home cooked meals + recipes
- Arts and crafts of all varieties
- Backyard gardening
- DIY home renovation
- Local places + small businesses
My Favorite Things
01. Family Time
Hanging out with my goofball family is my absolute favorite thing to do. They choose not to be on the internet so here is a photo of my kitties fighting over their favorite chair instead.
02. Small businesses
I adore finding new small businesses and shouting my love for favorites from the rooftops.
03. Gardening
I have found a deep love in gardening. I don’t have a vast garden but my little space makes me happy. I am a pro at growing jalepenos.
04. Planning
While I am no longer in an event planning position, those were my favorite careers. It started when my daughter was young with her birthday parties and eventually it led to planning parties, fundraisers, and corporate events.
03. Travel
Exploring new places has always been a hobby but in 2023 I was able to visit Japan and now I have severe wanderlust!
05. Bread
Am i technically allergic to gluten? Yes. Does that stop me? Absolutely not.

Most asked question:
What is Fox and Jade?
This is by far one of the most asked questions I get and the answer is not interesting unfortunately.
My photography business years ago was my first and middle name. It was classic, unique, I loved it. Sadly, Google thinks my first name is spelled wrong and it would do the whole “Did you mean this?” and even my closest friends would automatically click that button. Wouldn’t be bad except there is a lovely photographer in another state who shares my name and her first name is spelled correctly per Google. I had clients asking me if I had moved out of state so at that point I knew that name was not going to make a comeback when I reopened.
Fox and Jade are two random words I put together and liked how they sounded. I think foxes are cute and jade is both a lovely plant and a beautiful rock.
