Does anything say spring more than robin’s egg blue and yellow-y lemon paired together? Throw in some amazing food (blueberries, boysenberries, strawberry sorbet to name a few……the main dish was as elegantly prepared as the dessert!), a beautiful tablescape (with said yellow-y lemons), the perfect day and you have our Spring Fling-themed Styled Shoot at […]

In the midst of record-breaking summer heat (seems we’ve been having a lot of that lately), it was such a privilege for me to ‘mask up’ COVID-19-style and meet this wonderful little family of 4 as they introduced their newest bundle of joy to the world. It is always amazing to me to see how […]

It had been on my bucket list for literally EVER. That might seem like a huge exaggeration but it’s true. Since I was about 10 years old I dreamed of going to Greece, to see the iconic blue domes and those beautiful white-washed church steeples, all of it with the backdrop of crystal blue waters […]
