WASHINGTONIANS - There are three library levy measures on the ballot in next Tuesday’s statewide election to benefit @snoislelibraries , @seattlepubliclibrary , and @spokanecountylibrary. All are labeled as Prop 1 on their ballots, all fund core library operations, all are to renew or restore funding, and all need a simple majority to pass.
Libraries do a lot more than lend books. They offer free access to internet, computers, and wifi. They teach people how to use email, write resumes, and apply for jobs. They build community. As a mom, I regularly attended storytime with my kid, and we go every three weeks to re-up on books to meet summer reading goals. Did you know that our libraries offer help with homework, online tutoring for students, and adult literacy classes? Tax prep assistance, meeting rooms to reserve. All of these are free to us regardless of income, background, or immigration status. When funding is cut, branches close, have shorter hours, and fewer staff. The library that raised you can’t do the same for your kids.
Vote YES on Prop 1, and make sure your ballot is postmarked or dropped off by 8pm next Tuesday, 8/4.
Meanwhile, enjoy some photos I made for @snoislelibraries !
A sample of faves from the years that I documented the incredible community at @ritual.house.
In honor of @bethorton `s ninth album, to be released this Friday, here`s a photo I made at the @showbox on 5/21/2003, when she touring on her fourth. She`ll be at @washingtonhall206 on 10/3/2026.
Portraits of the dynamos over at Interior Design Studio @charliehellstern including Chief Comfort Officer, Milo! On the site of one of their projects, Vitus’ Belltown HQ. Charlie teamed up with @madebyshore for a branding and website refresh last year. I first connected with Charlie in 2020 for portraits at Loom House on Bainbridge. My stylist @ryannbrady_hmu and I fell in love with her style, humor, and confidence, and it’s been a treat to continue to work together.
In honor of the last old_fire_house_teen_center concert tonight before they demo and build anew, here is a throwback photo of @_thecatch before a show in 2005, taken by my sister. L-R, @carlynicklaus, @iluvrightnow, @therevalissa, and me.
Promos for @thelindywest new book, Adult Braces, back before the braces came off. Buy it, read it, form your own opinions and have IRL discussion at @townhall_seattle TOMORROW or go see her in Austin on 4/22.

So excited to share this project I’ve been working on with Death Cab for Cutie and VSCO. Nick Harmer & I explored some of the band’s favorite hometown hangs for a VSCO Seattle Guide in conjunction with the release of their new album, Kintsugi, out now on Atlantic.
A huge thank you to the staff and management at Sonic Boom Records, Trading Musician, The Crocodile, Safeco Field & the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Fun & lively wedding in the heart of Abruzzo, Italy. Ceremony was held at the Church of Santa Maria in Piano, a gorgeous church adorned with fresco murals dating back to the 1500s. For the reception, we headed to Castello Chiola, an over 1100-year-old castle in the medieval town of Loreto Aprutino. Photos at the top of the post are a mix from around Loreto Aprutino and Contesa Vini, a winery in Pescara where guests were treated to a tasting the night before. Many thanks to my second shooter: Cinzia Bruschini (image #26 above is hers).
You might have noticed that things look a little different around here! Over the past year, I’ve been working with two talented creatives to help launch the new JennyJ:
My new logo and collateral are the brainchild of Breanna Radermacher of Rowan Made. I chose Bre because of her thorough process of getting to know her clients & their brands, as well as her skilled communication style. I wanted to work with a designer who had fresh ideas, wasn’t afraid of going bold and was open to collaboration. Throughout the process, I felt heard and with each back & forth she presented an even better idea than the one before.
For the website, I decided to merge my portfolio with my years-full-of-content Prophoto blog. I started looking for a custom Prophoto blogsite designer to create a bold grid design that had been banging around my head. Enter Rachel of Aniya Jade Design Studio. Rachel has created a handful of eye-catching turnkey templates for Prophoto and I was drawn to her minimal & modern aesthetic. Turns out she was a ton of fun to work with. She has a candid & upbeat way about her that made the whole experience joyful. It helped that we kept the same late-night hours, so when there was a question that needed clarification her response was almost immediate. I love the intuitive feel and flow of what we ended up with.
Please give the new site a spin and let me know what you think.
