this summer, i am longing for slow. unhurried, less plans. more activities that invite in leisure — setting up a blanket by the ocean to read, going for a long stroll in my neighborhood, riding my bike to a local coffee shop, making things from scratch (mostly homemade ice cream), picnics in the meadow with conversation cards in tow, and perhaps more naps.

i love capturing photographs - in all their forms. on this night, it was polaroid. a few frames taken by my love, and one of us together.

there’s not a whole lot i love more than spending an afternoon in the kitchen, baking my all time favorite cookies from the kinfolk table. their oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a dream, and making them has become a tradition in the fall time

the beginnings of fall on the coast have been nothing short of a dream. i’ll never want to forget —

summertime is always the best of what might be.

A few snaps from these sweet, early spring days.
