A seasonal lifestyle blog
A love letter to style, heirloom recipes, creative pursuits, motherhood, and life’s little joys through my camera lens.
A Reason to Smile
The peonies are in! This will be our third summer in the house (if I am counting correctly) and it is so luxuriously rewarding to have a harvest of pink peonies from the backyard.
Rouen-Inspired Brunch
I always thought it would be fun to re-create a French breakfast and have them over to enjoy it slowly, in true European fashion. This year on Good Friday, we did it! It was a dream. Leisurely, slow-paced, and all about food and good company!
Snow on February 7th
In the spirit of one of my favorite home videos, Snow on March 1st, I proudly present this wee little video here! We woke up on Sunday, Feb 7 (also Super Bowl Sunday) to a beautiful scene out of our window. A fresh coating of snow, falling softly yet robustly. I knew I wanted to film while the snowflakes were still heavy, so out I went with my tripod and 50 mm!
Winter Light in the Kitchen
The natural lighting in the kitchen is unbeatable in the cold winter months! With the freshly fallen snow, beams of light are illuminated upward. Right through our window, we catch the best midmorning and afternoon light, and even in the dusk hours there is a twinkly, purple glow that is quite difficult to put into words.
A White Christmas{time}
It may not be Christmas, nor Christmas Eve, but it certainly is Christmastime. Perhaps the best part of Christmas, too. The buildup to the holiday, the anticipation of the joys to come. The festive feeling swells up in me as I hear dialogues of familiar movies, Christmas carols, and chiming bells. It gets stronger with scents of fresh pine, peppermint, baking cookies, and the sharp chill in the air.
Holiday Family Photos
These photos are going to be the ones I cherish for a long, long, long time! They have a certain feel to them - much like the year 2020 itself.
