Published | 100 Layer Cake | Alexandra Grecco at Masseria Moroseta

I am so excited to share this beautiful shoot we did in Italy this Fall at Masseria Moroseta. Teaming up with Solstice Bride, we brought over some gorgeous Alexandra Grecco gowns, which were a perfect compliment to the modern lines and the white palette of Masseria Moroseta. Check out the shoot here along with all the awesome vendors...

2013 | A year of shifting and growing

This has been a different January for me. It doesn't necessarily feel like the end of something and the beginning of another. I think I've been in a transition zone for the past year, during which I have felt out of balance and slightly out of alignment with who I am and what I want. The real shift began in the Fall and has been an ebbing and flowing of energy and emotion since. Somewhere along the way I found my footing. This time rooted in something different, a new path with a stronger foundation. Part of this shift has been about entering into a different phase in my life. Part of it has been about really understanding what I want to do and how to do it. And the last part is about getting to know and understand the woman I have become, and the woman I want to be. It's been a big year of growth... and like most good things, it hasn't come easy.

I am so thankful for the experiences and challenges that instigated this shift, for the people that have supported me along the way, and the clarity and strength I now feel because of it.

I feel a deep-rooted strength in this new foundation. I have a new clarity of what truly brings me joy, a better understanding of what lights me up, what is important and what I want to create. Life looks different. I feel different.

I'm excited to see how this shift changes what I capture... and what I create. In images. In art. In love. In life.

Here are a few moments along the way of 2013. Although I had my challenges, I was also blessed with incredible experiences of travel and family and friends and love.

Joie De Vivre | Claire Pettibone & Marchesa Inspiration

I’m so in love with this collection of images from a recent shoot designed by Soha Lavin of CountDown Events. Inspired by the latest wave of Bohemia, an incredible grove nestled against a gorgeous stone structure, and the beautiful Claire Pettibone and Marchesa goddess-like dresses.  All the incredible bouquets, romantic and un-done, were created by Celsia Floral. One of our favorite features was a custom chandelier by Mia Dungeon, beautiful pearl cakes from Sweet Bake Shop, and exquisite jewelry from Elsa Corsi. Huge thanks to Nadia Albano who always goes above and beyond and worked her artistry on our lovely model. Thanks to Laura Lavender for her stunning calligraphy and Upright Decor and The Cross for supplying all the beautiful details.
