Why Bevographer?

I love beer, coffee, and cocktails, especially as I had previous careers in both the coffee and bartending industries. I moved into marketing and photography career-wise but still wanted to be a part of both the coffee and bar industries. Thus, Bevographer was born!

Bevographer is just a portmanteau of the words beverage and photographer. A little bit ago, I felt that I was stagnant in my creativity and needed an outlet to dedicate myself to perfecting. My husband and I were at the new Empire Slice House location, drinking a damn good beer and cocktail, and a lightbulb moment hit when I took a rad picture of the beer. Why not hyper-focus on one specific area of photography?

Thus, The Bevographer was born. I specialize in creating delicious cocktails for home bartending, reviews of spirits (with a focus on whisky), and spirited content creation.

Combining my two greatest loves: books and drinkin

Combining my two greatest loves: books and drinking. In honor of #IronFlame being released next month, let me share what I think some of the characters would order at a bar.

Also, BE HONEST. How many copies of Iron Flame have you ordered and did you snag the Holiday and UK special editions of #FourthWing? My answer: yes.

A lovely date night, featuring some of the new fall cocktails from @pubw. We really enjoyed trying the Papa Don’t Peach, Butternut Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, and the Rosemary 75. All of them were delicious and a must try for the fall.

Have you checked out the new menu yet? What’s your favorite cocktail so far?

BTW, in case you missed it, we moved to #Tulsa! Slide into my comments with your recommendations for the best cocktails! You may see post some for #oldfashionedweek

I meant to post these photos a couple of weeks ago

I meant to post these photos a couple of weeks ago, so it’s bittersweet to share these images of @hodgesbend and @lowoodtulsa. In case you missed the news, both restaurants were devastated by a fire last night.

The roof is completely collapsed; the families in the apartments are displaced and have likely lost everything. Seeing the pictures, I can’t imagine that either business will be able to recover soon — which means many of their staff will be needing our support more than ever.

Both businesses were a cornerstone in our Tulsa community; I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t at a cup of coffee and a great cocktail at Hodge’s at least once in the last decade. Hodge’s is where we have shared some of our most important life moments - one of our first in person dates, taking Texas and then Rebel for patio hangs, birthdays, anniversaries… Hodge’s has been a huge part of this last decade of my life, even though I just was able to call Tulsa home this last year.

Another #ThirstDay, another day of me being an abs

Another #ThirstDay, another day of me being an absolute creep and taking pictures of others drinking. Don’t worry (especially you @thirstyrebellion!) — I did sample the goods. So many great wines and spirits, it’s hard to nail down a favorite. So rad seeing the @wanderfolkspirits, @maggiesfarmrum, @barrellbourbon, and @thirstwine teams again.

@middlewestspirits is a new must-have for my bar. I absolutely loved the Sherry cask finished bourbon - dark chocolate, fancy cocktail cherries, and a light tannic dry finish made it one of my favorite new tastes yesterday.

Thanks to the whole Thirst crew for putting on another fantastic event — Thirst Day is the Best Day!
