Meet Carrie

Carrie Minns is a writer and photographer who lives in Portland, Oregon with her three kids, her hubby, Dave, and her golden retriever, Benson.

Carrie is about as Northwest born and bred as you can get. She spent her early childhood on Whidbey Island in Washington’s Puget Sound and most of her adult life in Portland, Oregon. Her family roots date back six generations in Portland to include Alice Benson Allen, an early trailblazer for the women’s movement, Simon Benson, a lumber baron who left bits and pieces of his legacy all over the city of Portland, George Himes, a historian and journalist from back before Oregon was a state, and everyday folks like her living on coffee, surviving wet winters, and trying to raise their kids as best they can.

Carrie lives with the belief that once you strip away the labels and the societal distinctions, we all want the same things from life - to be nourished, to know love, and to feel that our lives mattered in some small way.
