Hello! I'm excited to announce that I'll be working with Madewell and Spotify to host a listening party in DC on Thursday, May 21 from 6-8pm! Madewell is one of my favorite brands ever, and I'm really excited and honored that they asked me to host the event. There will be lots of snacks, drinks, and treats available for all! I'd love to see you there if you can make it. We'll be at the Georgetown Madewell location at 1237 Wisconsin Ave. Hope to see you there!

HELLO TO SPRING
I think I say this every spring, but that winter was brutal. The arrival of spring has been a welcomed event, and I don't know that I've ever appreciated all of the blooms and greenery so much. Lately, I've been a little bit swamped as I've taken on a new role as Travel Editor of The Everygirl. Luckily, I have a few trips coming up that will be a nice, relaxing break. The big, big trip though, is to Copenhagen this July to eat at Noma (!!!!!!!!!). Words cant describe my excitement. In the meantime, I've been trying to enjoy the warm weather as much as possible.

Back in December (yes, it's been that long) we had a quick stopover in Asheville on our drive back home from Florida. I've never really heard anyone say anything but wonderful things about the city so it was nice to stop in even though we only had a day there. Jonathan's brother and his wife live there so it was good to see some family and take in a new place. These photos are from a quick drive we did through the mountains one morning.

Trouvé Magazine Shoot
Amanda Marko, the super talented Editor of Trouvé Magazine invited me to shoot a fun little wrapping party right before the holidays for Camille Styles. A group of Amanda's close friends spent the afternoon snacking, wrapping and taking things a bit easy right before the craziness of the holidays. I also got to learn a bit more about Trouvé's signature wax stamp and what goes into making it. All in all, it was such a fun time shooting Amanda's home and event. It's incredible how much goes into the creation and distribution of a magazine, and how much Amanda does on her own.

The project is still coming together but I wanted to share a few favorites so far.

I was there to shoot a friend's wedding, but had some extra time to see one of my favorite dogs. Next month I'll be back for the holidays and to shoot a personal project that I've been planning for a little while. More on that soon!
Field and Foundry | Baltimore
Last weekend I shot the second Field and Foundry event in Baltimore, MD. I'm so happy I get to share these dinners with the incredible ladies who put on the event. More photos to come soon!
EDGE OF SUMMER | ARTIFACT UPRISING
Summer has always been my favorite time of the year. Last year felt like my first "real" winter ever (before that I either got lucky with mild winters or was living in Florida) and it was pretty hard on me. On the flip side, it really forced me to get out and enjoy this summer as much as humanly possible. This summer will always remind me spending time by the river, watching World Cup games on patios, eating dinners outdoors, reading by pools and dog walks with iced coffees. Artifact Uprising was kind enough to send me a postcard pack of some of my favorite photos from this summer. For those of you who may not know, Artifact Uprising is a company that allows you to create books or prints of your photography whether you're a full-time professional or an iPhone snapper. Growing up, I was pretty crazy about having physical albums full of photos from every life event, big or small, so I love that Artifact Uprising really captures that spirit.
Today I wanted to share a few photos of my postcards as well as a couple of my favorite photos from this summer. Hope yours was great.

PITA TWO WAYS
Whew, these past two weeks have been a little crazy between a quick trip to New York, catching up on some work things and starting to search for a new apartment. We are pretty sure we found a place so that's good news! Anyway, below are a few photos from two quick pita recipes I shared on The Society Co here this week. Both recipes are really simple to make (the chick pea one is easiest) so they're great for a lazy weekday meal. Hope you enjoy your weekend!

DOGFISH HEAD BREWERY | MILTON, DE

A few friends and I stopped into the Dogfish Head Brewery on the way home from Rehoboth Beach a little while ago. It's the perfect little stop if you're driving back into the D.C. area and want to stop somewhere on the way. Aside from the standard brewery activities like tours and samples, they have a really great outdoor area where you can eat brats, play bocce ball and hang out. One of my favorite summer memories by far.
