A seasonal lifestyle blog
A love letter to style, heirloom recipes, creative pursuits, motherhood, and life’s little joys through my camera lens.

J’s wedding truly looked like the most relaxed, intimate, glamorous and sweet occasion, so I am hoping for them it was worth the wait. I am such a fan of smaller weddings. The intimacy and romance is something you just can’t match.
In Flux
As I type this, the snow is gently falling at our doorstep in thick, lush heaps! It is truly so magical and such an enchanting way to ring in the first of February. I feel so grateful for the natural break that this snow has afforded me - not 1 but 2 total snow days so far - it could not come at a more needed time. I feel selfish admitting it, and even silly for expressing it here.
Salty Dogs
These pups were something I created last year, the first two of a collection I intended to call “Salty Dogs.” Coming off a week at LBI, I was so inspired by all of the wet, shaggy dogs I saw on their beachside strolls with their families. Dogs that look kissed by the sea breeze and ocean mist. In other words, salty dogs.
Amalfi Dreaming
Imagine being able to stay in a luxury hotel overlooking the Amalfi Coast. Or the Italian Riviera. Or of the canals of Venice. Or the blackened beaches of Sicily. I imagine this classy, head-scarf donning beauty not only exquisitely dressed, but breathing in scents of sea salt and jasmine, about to tuck into a morning cornetto and espresso doppio.
Gold Coast
Oh, Coronavirus! The time you have given me to paint! I can’t tell you the last time I whipped up a fashion illustration I actually liked in this amount of time. Three days! Three days of “quarantine,” where I didn’t really leave the house (except to go for walks). Three days that were perfectly busy — filled with work, planning, webinars, computer time, chores….
Portrait of Tanner
The urge to paint always hits me the same way. I don’t watercolor nearly enough, and when I miss it, it is this instinctual craving. I just know that I need to slow down and paint. I don’t need to see paint supplies, or even a painting to inspire me…sometimes I just know it’s been a while, and it is time to bring out my brushes and paints again.
