Capture Life : Finding the Light Have you found that one spot in your home where the natural lighting is just perfect? Let’s talk about looking for it today. Mine is in my kitchen. We have a large East facing window that allows ample amounts of natural light to stream in; even on the grayest…
Capture Life : Hearts I was recently inspired by Drew Barrymore’s new book : Find It in Everything. It’s a collection of heart images that she has captured over the past ten years. I thought what a fun challenge! I had a few photos in my stash from past weddings & engagement sessions that came…
