The Family The truth is that every time another photographer asks me to photograph her own family I have an internal freak out. How can you not? I sweat a bit, self talk a lot and attempt to talk myself out of it quite a few times. When I first started taking pictures of my own […]

I shared this recipe for protein packed pancakes on my Instagram Stories a few weeks ago, but given that Stories have a shelf life of 24 hours, I’m sending it to you here….because it’s a good one to have in your back pocket. Although I try to be upbeat as much as I can, the […]
