No CommentsOverexposure and Share the Love II
I finally caved and opened a pack of my Share the Love film yesterday. I went with Chris on a senior portrait photo shoot at Hendrix and thought, “Well, just in case…” Unfortunately, in my role as tag along, I did not really have the time to focus on my lighting, which resulted in four...

I’ve been working on gradually updating my Etsy shop. Here are a few recent additions that I am excited about. I can’t wait to share more treasures with you soon! This vintage family scale was given to me by a friend when we still lived in Colorado, but unfortunately, has had a home in my...

1 CommentShare the Love is Back!
I just received an email from Polapremium that their Share the Love promotion is back! Prices are a bit higher this time due to a change in the exchange rate, but not by much. Last time I didn’t order any film and regretted it since it is so hard to come by now, so this...

1 CommentSummer Garden Update
I spent this morning (before coffee!) in the garden, watering, taking pictures, and throwing the big purple ball for Annie. Time for a little update! This is my original herb garden. I have onion chives in the back, sage in the front, and Provence lavender in the front right. I’m planning to add the rosemary...

No CommentsGreen Beans!
Today has been a chill day at home. I skipped breakfast in favor of coffee and finishing a friend’s blog and then went all out for lunch. We made lemon pepper chicken with brown rice, roasted home-grown green beans, and crostini made with sungold tomatoes, homemade wheat French bread, fresh parsley, olive oil, and feta...

6 CommentsThe Julie/Julia Project
I’m on vacation this week and selected a book I’ve been meaning to read for quite some time as my “beach read.” I picked up Julie & Julia by Julie Powell on Friday night and finished it by Monday night, it was that good. One of the most authentic and open-hearted memoir-style books I’ve read...

No CommentsNow on Etsy!
I love shopping for vintage books and treasures, looking for that perfect collectible find, but I often come home with more than my home can hold, or I am constantly shifting out old items with new treasures. For example, I found not one, but TWO vintage typewriters that I “had to have,” but I only...

No CommentsQuiet
This weekend Chris and I are photographing our friends Aaron and Lane for their wedding weekend. Or I should say, Chris is photographing, and I am gear-watching and errand-running. We’re at Mount Magazine, and it is absolutely beautiful here. I woke up before the sunrise, when typically Annie and Sydney would wake me up. They’re...

No CommentsHere We Go Again
Annie is nesting a lot in our office closet. She did this about a year ago – maybe a little longer, and it was a false pregnancy. This time, if we buy her little stuffed animal “babies,” I think Sydney will chew them up. What to do? Problem Numero Dos: The office closet now has...
