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!

Roasted Garlic + Spinach Eggs | In My Home

Ok…the truth is out. I love food. And so does my husband. And well, even more than that…we love just being together and usually our quality time consists of time around the kitchen table.
