Welcome to my blog! My name is Taylor and I’ve been sharing my style, travels, coffee adventures, and simple moments of joy here since 2010. My goal is to share the things I love by way of my own photography. Now, my focus is on living intentionally amid the noise and doing the things I love: reacquainting myself with my own 30something style, creating a happy home, photography, and everything in between. Even still, my favorite things to capture are everyday moments.
My friend C and I have a penchant for summertime adventures, including but not limited to spontaneous travels, colorful photography, bubbly aperitivi, and front seats to a beautiful view.

We have been antsy since we haven’t been able to travel, but yesterday was an excellent adventure that was simple, fun, yet close to home. We ventured to Ephrata, PA in search of antique shops, fresh baked goods, and flower fields. And that is exactly what we found.
Read MoreThe day we brought home Rosie, one year ago today, was one of the happiest days of my life. I remember the feeling of knowing, even then, that it was more than sweet, or cute, or delightful. We were bringing home a bundle of joy, and there was a palpable nostalgia.
Read MoreI’ve always thought they were pretty, but in the sense of admiring them from afar. They grow without bounds at the shore, especially at Long Beach Island, but I’ve never appreciated their beauty here in this less-salty, inland climate. I have such a newfound appreciation for them in my garden, because of their generosity and artfulness. Each cluster of buds seems to turn a different purple, blue or pink through the weeks and it is delightful to guess what I will get.
