The Ringling Ca' d'Zan Mansion

The Ringling Ca' d'Zan Mansion

 

One thing I love about my job is the opportunity to travel to new places and enjoy different scenery. There is much of my job that is not glamourous or necessarily enjoyable, but this is one of the better parts. A few weeks ago I met up with this lovely lady that I have known for a while via social media. It's wonderful to have the chance to connect with so many amazing people that way, but it is infinitely better to meet in person. Candice is such a beautiful and inspiring individual. It was such a pleasure to work with her in such a gorgeous  location. The Ca' d'Zan Mansion was the winter home of Jon Ringling of The Ringling Brothers Circus. It is quite a unique place. I would have loved to tour more of the grounds and museums while I was there. The architecture alone was fascinating. I look forward to visiting that beautiful place and this beautiful girl again in the future.

Jon, Amy & Luca McLaughlin

Jon, Amy & Luca McLaughlin

A few months ago I had the privilege of traveling up to Indiana to photograph Jon and Amy McLaughlin and their sweet little girl Luca. It was for the 2nd issue of The Influence Magazine. The fabulously talented lady in charge, Hayley, invited me up to collaborate for the magazine. Amy and Jon were so gracious to welcome us into their beautiful home! I'm warning you that you're going to fall in love with their cute place! If my husband would let me paint our floors white I'd to it in a heart beat. I loved seeing how they created such a chic and cozy home. It's also a pleasant surprise to meet people in the music industry who are so down to earth and authentic. Jon is an incredibly talented singer-songwriter and is coming out with a new album soon! (You can check it out here!) I remember listening to his songs as a music major in college. I have to admit that I was so jealous of his talent on the piano. I used to think listening might motivate me to practice my classical pieces, but alas it did not. I still enjoyed listening nevertheless. Industry has to be my favorites. The beginning piano part gets me every time!

Crème Brands | Studio Tour

Crème Brands | Studio Tour

Last month I had the immense privilege of photographing my sweet friend Kathryn's studio for her new website. She's the creative genius behind my own site and brand. She is such an inspiring artist. I loved being able to see the space where she creates such beautiful things. Seeing all her brand sketches blew me away. I don't know anyone else who puts as much creative effort into their creations. She has a talent for producing timeless and classic looks. I mean, the girl just knows what she's doing. Of course, I adored her white on white office. The whole room was fresh and clean with beautiful design elements. Kathryn is also one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She is always encouraging, uplifting and simply a joy to work with and be around. I'm thankful for you friend! For the time being you can check her out here or on instagram. I'll be sure to share her gorgeous new branding site when it's up!
