holidose

The holiday season is about giving right?

There isn't much that I want in the way of presents. Just to have a nice holiday with loved ones and to rest up a bit. 

Maybe bake and cook an obscene about of food that I have been wanting to cook all year, but haven't gotten around to it. 

If you want to see Foxglove, we will be at a few gatherings this month. 3 to be exact. The other 2 I will tell you about shortly. 

But if you want to find us during the big Holidose extravaganza I, along with my studio family INDO and Stephanie Bassos Photography, will be wrapping gifts and all donations for this will go to Snow City Arts  , a program in Illinois, set up to provide education and learning while children are hospitalized. 

It feels better to give then to get. I am super excited about this one. Plus, there are tons of amazing vendors that will be at Dose on Dec. 14th, so don't forget to stop by our table for some pretty wrapping and to help some kids that are going through tough times. 

outtakes and the last month of this year

I have a case of the Monday's. I probably shouldn't, but doesn't everyone after a holiday weekend. It's always hard to say goodbye to my mom. Some days Seth and I tease ourselves into day dreaming about living in the same city has her. But we know we can't go anywhere. At least for now. To many things, projects going, projects in the pipeline and projects in the dream line to pick up and go. But we still dream about it sometimes. Doesn't everyone?

I really enjoyed our vacation to Independence Missouri this past weekend for Thanksgiving. It was nice to get out of the city, reconnect with the land and be around loved ones and farm animals. It was, as it always has been, a very inspiring trip that had the gears in my head cranking. So many ideas and thoughts. I am looking forward to my next visit. Not sure when that will be, but hopefully soon.

Here are some images from a shoot that we recently did with Veronica Schaeffer, South Social and Home, Kate Weinstein, Joanna Bastermajian and Levinson Locations as well as some other randoms from last month. I look forward to sharing the final images with you soon.
