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

October Stop at the Pumpkin Patch
October is truly so glorious, and this unexpected pit stop at the Pumpkin Patch last weekend was an equally unexpected source of inspiration! This bountiful harvest is not only so photogenic, but it represents the fruit of the countless hours of summer sun, the ripeness of the season, and the chill in the air signals all the coziness to come!

Photographer's Retreat in Cape May
My friend C and I have a penchant for summertime adventures, including but not limited to spontaneous travels, colorful photography, bubbly aperitivi, and front seats to a beautiful view. We planned a photographer’s weekend, simply to take photos and create memories and get a bit of relaxation in this last weekend of summer. It was truly an escape! The weather was crisp, the crowds lulled, and the rays of mid day sunshine ever so slightly softer.

Cut-Flower Garden Adventures {Dahlias}
Sigh! My adventures with dahlias are not going as well as they did with my hydrangeas and peonies. I’ll skip most of the drama, but I think I inflicted some damage upon my beautiful cafe au laits and lifestyle anenomes because I was…you guessed it, obsessing over them.

Stopping To Look
I guess that is what makes August, August. It is hot, it is humid, almost like a steambath. The garden is taking its last gasp as it starts to brown and sag. My dahlias were a disappointment, as my cafe au laits didn’t even bloom (yet?) and my lifestyle anenomes were/are barely budding. August is the Sunday of summer.

Country Drive
Yesterday, my mom and I took a drive with one destination: anywhere! We have been antsy since we haven’t been able to travel, but yesterday was an excellent adventure that was simple, fun, yet close to home. We ventured to Ephrata, PA in search of antique shops, fresh baked goods, and flower fields. And that is exactly what we found.

1 Year of Rosie
The day we brought home Rosie, one year ago today, was one of the happiest days of my life. I remember the feeling of knowing, even then, that it was more than sweet, or cute, or delightful. We were bringing home a bundle of joy, and there was a palpable nostalgia.
