I started this blog out of necessity.  I started it because I missed having a creative space.  I love color, textures and being inspired and I needed somewhere to explore that.  and so here we are. I am still figuring all of this out, what it is exactly I want to put here, share here, make this place.  I just hope when people visit here they leave with a smile on their face. 

and please don't be shy. leave a comment so i know your out there. 

happy valentine's day

Valentine's day has always been a favorite of mine. I love spreading the love to friends and of course to my family. Here are a few of my photographs that I have taken over the years in the name of love. Enjoy xoxo!
