““I’m going to make everything around me beautiful, and that will be my life.” -Elsie De Wolfe”

I’ve been reading the book Mastery by Robert Greene these past two weeks, and it might be one of my favorite books ever. I’d really like to quote the whole book 😂, but here’s a small excerpt... “The problem with all students, he said, is that they inevitably stop somewhere. They hear an idea and they hold on to it until it becomes dead; they want to flatter themselves that they know the truth. But true Zen never stops, never congeals into such truths. That is why everyone must constantly be pushed to the abyss, starting over and feeling their utter worthlessness as a student. Without suffering and doubts, the mind will come to rest on clichés and stay there, until the spirit dies as well. Not even enlightenment is enough. You must continually start over and challenge yourself.”

Forgive me if I post a lot of photos from this beautiful wedding in Newport, Rhode Island. Things have finally slowed down and I have some time. :) .

I love motion in my images. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the right one, but it’s always worth it. And film captures it so beautifully.

We had a Christmas shoot for a brochure at my home and the kids started getting all excited for Christmas writing their lists to Santa and making sure here were enough stockings on the chimney. Why are there only three?? I tried explaining that it’s only a shoot and Christmas is still 3 months away. But it’s not that easy to understand when you’re 7 and Christmas is in full effect in your living room. 😂 We we’re so lucky to have gorgeous florals and styling by @amberreverie

I’ve been super busy recreating Christmas scenes and snow for Usana’s Christmas catalog, but had some time to finally edit more from the talented Olympic Ice Dancer Yura Min’s shoot! This gorgeous dress by @leannemarshallofficial .
