I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.
It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.
I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.
I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.

If there is one item that screams “it’s summer” it is the denim short. Style them with a t-shirt, blouse, or as a swimsuit cover-up. They are the key summer piece! And since July 4th is right around the corner I thought it was only appropriate to share my favorite denim shorts from around the web.

I search and search to find the perfect t-shirts. Considering I wear them everyday, I go through a lot. I have tried everything from Net-a-Porter to Forever 21 and have found some decent options. However, my all-time, forever favorite t-shirt, Current Elliott ‘Petit’ Tee (in black / in grey). I want a t-shirt to be flattering but comfortable, soft, easy to maintain, and high quality. The Petit Tee is all of that! While wearing it in LA (where this was photographed) I got stopped by a lady asking, “Who makes your t-shirt? It is THE perfect white tee.” And it is. It really is!

We arrived! We (the hubs and I) are finally on our Italian getaway! I have been waiting for this trip for what seems like forever. I imagined this relaxing holiday, staying at a beautiful Italian hotel, and driving from little town to little town. And guess what, that is exactly what it is! I plan to post more about this gorgeous hotel, shall you ever find yourself in need of a little escape 🙂 But for now, the outfit!
I bought this entire outfit right before leaving. While packing I realized I had cleaned out all of my summer dresses and didn’t have one that was “plain and simple”. I had been looking at this Crepe Shift Dress for a while and decided to give it a try! Good thing I did because now I am in love! It comes in over 7 colors and I plan to buy three more! It is the quintessential “dress up or down” (which you know I love) and it is under $100! I have already worn it to a dinner party (hosted by my sweet mother-in-law), exploring Italy, and to dinner last night! It seriously is an amazing dress to add to your closet.
Like I mentioned here, these shoes made it into my suitcase. The Davenport Naturalizer are too comfortable and too versatile to leave behind. I wore them all yesterday while we explored Savelletri, Italy, and they were a dream! If you have any plans to travel this summer, I recommend checking them out! They are the travelers dream – cute and comfortable!
Ciao! Ciao!
