Feel free to cozy up with your favorite beverage (if you're like me, then maybe it's an espresso over ice with a splash of cream, or a warm matcha latte if it's cold outside!) and stay awhile. This is my place to share not just beautiful weddings or sessions, but to share my life. My hope is through this, you'll get to know a bit more about me and all the beautiful people that make it worth living!

We were only about 90 seconds into our conversation when I thought to myself, “She’s someone I want to be friends with.” And when she started describing her […]

Hosting over the Holidays? | In My Home

Are you having a houseful of guests in the next few weeks and you just have no idea what to make. Let me guess, your pantry is probably full of all kinds of things… or at least your grocery list is a mile long, because if you just “have” a bunch of ingredients, you’ll be sure to have enough […]
