We believe we should all love where we live.

We’re a couple of homebodies, working to uncover the home our home wants to be. And we’re so happy to have you here.

I have four sisters, I know all about photoshoots.  Everytime we are all together, which sadly isn’t as often anymore, we spend a couple hours getting ready.  I usually do everyone’s hair, Krissy helps with the eyebrows and makeup and we all swap clothes for the big photoshoot.  My mom takes the pictures in every pose and setting possible and then we spend the next hour huddled around Andi’s computer editing.  Ah, it is delightful.  It is a main event that we all look forward to.  
You can imagine how excited I was when Brandon, Chris’s brother, asked if he could take pictures of Greta.  “Ahh!! Of course!”  The getting ready process wasn’t quite as extravagant.  I have to wait 5 minutes before any event to put Greta in her outfit or she’ll spit up all over it. (Yes, she still spits up constantly.)   I put a little bow in her hair and she was ready to go.  The girl is a natural.  Brandon brought over some professional lighting and got all set up.  Greta spit up on the backdrop that he brought, so we just stuck with the surroundings in place.  She sat up on her own so well and smiled for the camera.  Brandon got a lot of cute shots of her, but these are just a couple of my favorite.  Thanks, Brandon!  Here’s to many more photoshoots.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
