Jamie Diana...

Hi! I'm Jamie, welcome to my blog, Aprons and Apertures. I work in the environmental policy field, but my real passions are cooking, baking, and photography. My love for the kitchen began around age three when I would sit on the counter and beg my mom to let me stir whatever she was making. My interest in photography didn't develop until high school when I decided to take photography classes with the family's old Minolta. 


My current kitchen is sunny Seattle, WA, where I moved on my 25th birthday! I love the city and all the fresh and local produce it has to offer. I hope you enjoy my little corner of the web!
