As a food photographer and a busy mom of four, my days were always full, capturing images for major brands while also raising my boys. Creativity often had to wait, tucked between school lunches, deadlines, and the beautiful chaos of daily life.
One cherished tradition at home was shopping at our local farmer’s market. A time we all embraced as we slowed down and took in the beauty of a simple life.
One day, as I admired my market finds, it didn’t feel fair how little would these beauties remain whole. It took them months to look this way and in a matter of days they would be chopped to become a meal and before the chopping began, I took photos of each of my finds.
And just like that, the first kitchen towel was born.
That simple idea turned into something more: a way to capture the overlooked beauty of everyday life and turn it into something lasting. Now, my collection of kitchen towels printed with original photography celebrates the charm of fresh ingredients, the warmth of home, and the art found in the simplest things.
Because sometimes, all it takes is a quiet moment and a fresh perspective to turn the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Why Red Bird’s House?
Before my dad passed away, he pointed out a cardinal in my backyard and told me it was a messenger of hope, love and beauty, ”reminding me I wasn't alone. After he passed, I carried that message with me.
When I started my business, I wanted my kitchen towels to carry that same sense of love and connection, so that everyone who received one would feel cherished. The name of my business comes from that red bird symbolizing the love, hope, and beauty my parents always reminded me to see in life.
