I've

A couple weeks ago, I brought home some Fall in the form of flowers. The grocery store had giant mums in a wash of autumn hues, and they were simple and beautiful and perfect for the little console table in our house’s foyer, and perfect for the little square rose bowl I’d been wanting to use.See, […]

It seems as if, whenever I’m at a photo shoot, or whenever I set friends or acquaintances up for a quick portrait, I usually get comments about how fast and confidently I pose my subjects. Well, it’s kind of like brushing teeth. Brushing your teeth is a habit, right? Something you do pretty regularly, that feels instinctive to […]
