I am very much inspired by these images by Francois Halard in this month’s issue of Vogue. Halard documents the home of Charles & Olya Thompson. Their home in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of New York in my opinion is so very elegant and magical. I love all of the historical elements of the home...

I’m really loving this simple and straightforward ad campaign by WP Lavori in Corso for Woolrich. The photographers are Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, fine art photographers based in London.

Happy Monday, everyone! I have newborns on my mind because I’m waiting on three of them to arrive this month…so very exciting. Therefore I thought I’d share a fun nursery room via one of my favorite design/kid/family blogs, Ohdeedoh. You can see the full post on this clever and well-designed room over on their blog here.
Enjoy + stay tuned for some recent shoots!

Last week I was helping my clients Bess + Camille create a wall of prints for their home to celebrate their pregnancy and their adorable son, Caleb. I was excited that they chose a bunch of mismatched frames in black and silver. We’re still working on the wall gallery but I promise to share once...

Just saw this great idea via the ohdeedoh blog and dwell. A renovated Victorian home in San Francisco turned mod with a built in swing. What a great idea. I beg to guess that the adults enjoy this just as much as the kids. p.s. What a great place for photography!

If you follow me on twitter you’ll know that I just had a mini camping vacation with some of my best girlfriends. We converged on Big Sur from Puerto Rico, Santa Barbara, Oakland, and San Francisco. Parts of our vacation are top secret but I was able to disclose a few things we did…
