Nesting Urges

Personal

I don’t know what has gotten into me lately but I have this inexplicable lust for more space, a new bed, big windows, fresh flowers in every room, white washed kitchens, wood furniture with chipped paint, gauzy curtains, and lots of sunshine. My trip to Ikea yesterday probably didn’t help matters. And I love Pottery Barn but I really wish they wouldn’t cram so much stuff into their pictures.

I’ll order all of the following, please:

My kitchens (that’s right, I’ll have several)

Bedrooms
(Note the canopy bed. I saw this pic in the book The Comforts of Home by Atlanta Bartlett and I’ve been obsessed with this bedroom ever since! The bed, white washed floors, big mirror casually resting on the floor, old lockers, bench, sunlight… drool. )

There is a magic in that little world, home; it is a mystic circle that surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits.

Click to download it and see it at its huge size and resolution.I visited Valley Forge National Historical Park a few weeks ago on a scouting mission for a project. I went during "golden hour" and the place was list up beautifully. There's really no better time for lovely, sun-drenched pictures than the hour or so before sunset. I try to schedule all of my shoots around this time so that I can get this gorgeous look. Photographers refer to this as "golden hour" or "magic hour". It's easy to see why.Enjoy!*Please note these images are made available ...

Do you know what makes my job the best thing ever? Love.I get to be around people at some of the happiest times of their lives – babies, engagements, weddings. These are moments filled to the brim with family and love. I believe in love because I see it, photograph it, talk to it, and edit it every single day.Love is something that I have believed in since I was very young and in Catholic school. I believed in it when I moved to the South for college. I believed in it in graduate school when I volunteered at a resource hotline for the LGBT community in the Raleigh-Durham area. I believed in it when I lived in San Francisco in 2008 and f ...

Alas, the last few days of color are upon us. Too soon my gorgeous fiery leaves will be crunchy brown heaps along the sidewalk. The amazing textures and colors of fall are almost kaput in favor of, well… who knows because it’s too freaking cold to go outside and see!I dread the next few months. My fingers, nose, toes, and everything in between tell me that it is time to fly south or hibernate. One or the other because leaving the confines of comfy flannel sheets is not working out. Luckily, the end of the year holds some exciting things for me and my business. It is the first holiday season in our new house, Glen Yiddish (I’m Scottish a ...
