• "What would it look like, I wondered, to live with that heightened sensitivity to the lives given for ours? To consider the tree in the Kleenex, the algae in the toothpaste, the oaks in the floor, the grapes in the wine; to follow back the thread of life in everything and pay it respect? Once you start, it's hard to stop, and you begin to feel yourself awash with gifts."

BACKYARD birdsong


I’m a mother to four magic makers. An empath. A lover of your grandparent's story telling sofa. I’m a thrill seeker and adventurer. Stranger that asks to take your picture for you. Vintage finding hobbyist. Self-taught herbalist. Normal bodies encourager. Plant based and sustainable home try-to-be.

This page is a look into my romance. Search what you’re looking for, grab a hot cup of coffee or tea, and dive in! You’ll find my favorite vintage and secondhand finds in my shop, storytelling, laughter, and more will be in the blog section. Book a Photography session in photography!

What is “BACKYARD birdsong”?

BACKYARD birdsong is a romanticism of the midwestern backyard. We always welcome open conversation, inclusion, kindness, body neutrality, and coffee to your preference. A place for parents, partners, and friends. Where we hold hands and dance in the weird, create playful art, stay vulnerable, converse together, better the planet, and rest in our most precious moments. I wanted a page that brought every moment of my chaotic / romantic life together to share with others. I hope you feel safe, appreciated, and valued while here.

Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, for being here.

Ya’ll are the true dream makers.
