well a big part of me can be explained by knowing that my mom is french. lucky as I could be, I got to spend many childhood summers in france learning the language and acquiring an early palatte for pate, cheese, art, jaques brel, les petits swiss, and francophone anything. (random tip- if you ever have just one day in paris, skip the louvre and take the metro straight to the musee d’orsay on le rive gauche. Impressionist heaven.) i love to travel but am just as excited about eventually settling down and staying in the same place for a while, having a big garden and watching the seasons change a la candide.

i come from a big family. six kids. which means i have 5 full time best friends. i wouldn’t trade our times together for anything. we are a rambunctious group of surfing, singing, dancing, cooking, eating, outdoors people.

the big news is (drumroll….) i just got engaged! it turns out weddings really are a great place to meet people. my mister, bobby, was a groomsman at a wedding i was shooting. its crazy to feel so fated to someone and reflect on just how much chance was involved in meeting each other. what if i had already been booked that day!?! phew… i feel like the luckiest girl alive and am so excited for adventures to come
