THE JOURNAL

It seems all we need is a hint of sun and the hope that spring is just around the corner for all of my clients to start dreaming up their Love Shoots for this summer.  And let me tell you … I can’t wait.  Each one is different.  I’m always inspired by the connections, the […]

It almost marks one year ago that Jeff and I took a snowy & cold drive one Sunday afternoon to “peek” at a 100 year old house that popped up on our radar.  At that time, yes we were looking for a new house and were searching for a new place to call home.  No, […]
