Happy Valentine’s Day! See my set up for these “call me” shots.

I used three A2s (think it’s time for another light!) and spent three days styling and restyling and more time thinking about it and ordered a red telephone last minute because I didn’t love the way the pink one looked. 😜

Instead of editing in Lightroom, I only used capture one which I’m liking more and more for simple edits. Thanks to .hulswitdesigns for encouraging me there!

Shot for ❤️❤️

I’ve been taking more self portraits lately, to break things up. Thought of this one after thrown spaghetti and a long bed time with kids, as I sat down to unwind with some wine 🙃

I feel I exist between figuring out what healthy food to prep for kids and the creative hours in my studio. Striking the right balance has felt endlessly elusive. I think I could write more, but the photo tells the rest.

Really just live for splashes😍 I wish I had a bts video of this shoot 😂 reminder that an old plastic shower curtain is a great floor protector 🤪

Trying a new cookie recipe tonight where I bake the flour to give it a toasty flavor prior to mixing it into the cookies 😍😍😍😍

I’m a sucker for pink and textures 😍!! From a local magazine cover I worked on with a while back. Bringing back this basil infused whipped cream I made, but trying mint this time since my garden in overflowing in it mmmmmmm
