I'm an old-fashioned romantic in love with celebrating the simple joys of daily life. I appreciate classic timelessness, the natural world, and all things childlike. When I'm not photographing families or  traveling the world and writing about it in a little notebook, I'm happily at home, cozying up with my sweet husband and a foster cat or two.
