Kathryn and I started Tidepool Reps when I was pregnant with my daughter Hazelle, who turns 25 next month. We raised the business while raising her, juggling portfolios and meetings and all of those aches and pains, while I learned how to be a mom at the same time. Thankfully my then business partner is Godmother and bestie all wrapped into one. Hazelle napped a ton and was self-content in Kathryn’s home office so was with us every day. We both remember the moment this photo was taken so clearly because it marked the moment we knew she had outgrown us. We were hard at work and thought she has playing so nicely on her own, and looked over to her goofing at us from the next room - she had snuck away to surprise us! We both looked at her and laughing said to each other, she really needs a playmate and nanny.

I’ll never forget one of my first meetings with photographer Timothy Archibald. We met in busy downtown San Francisco in a crowded restaurant and Hazelle was strapped to my chest. I recall he remarked “you’re bringing the baby??” And he didn’t say that in judgement that she was out of place or inappropriate, one of the many things I appreciate about Timothy, he was just startled to learn how calm and easy she was. Hazelle hung out and went with the flow. I brought her everywhere. She was the Tidepool baby!

I am now Brooke Embry Artist Management (BEAM) and Kathryn is now Ground & Gold (.healing) Hazelle works in a library in Seattle, and has a cat named Rainy. Being her mom is my light and joy, and like the tide she comes into my every day. Sometimes a text, sometimes I get to hear her voice - but I get a little Hazelle every day and I simply love that. It never stops, that mama love, I am so grateful.

Happy Mother’s Day, to all the mamas! I celebrate your beautiful mama hearts!! 💕

Purpose Built.

What starts as a familiar automotive language quickly shifts.

The car falls away—and the road becomes the subject.

From open highway stretches to the quiet, in-between moments of a road trip, the work reflects how the road is actually experienced—and the people behind it who make that possible.

A system connecting communities—built for the long haul.
