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.
This tradition is something I am falling more and more in love with - autumn on the island. It is sleepier, quieter, less frantic and more true. Everything feels clearer - the sunrises, the breeze from the sea, and even the night stillness.

Read MoreI’m writing this blog post with an anterior perspective of vacation, from the beginning…which is a bit unconventional from my previous LBI posts. This is intentional…almost as an exercise…to calm down and ease into our week. I fully acknowledge, that right now, at the start of vacation, I am stressed! But why!? What did I forget to pack? What will we do for dinners? What is on our “must-do” list? Will my family drive each other nuts? And this is awful, but a part of me feels like I can’t get to summer until I get through this week. I spent the drive down specifically meditating on how I don’t want to feel that way this year, or even right now.
Read MoreFor my 29th birthday, I wanted to be selfish and take a trip. And it was a getaway of pure celebration, quiet revelry, and natural beauty! Even during the middle of our travels, I felt as though our girls trip to the Florida Keys was going to be a legend.
