Luckily nothing big but for an editorial shoot the wind damaged half of our sugar flowers and it still made as a feature on Ruffled

What is daily life like in your household?

I wake up to meditation and journaling - my man brings me my espresso, my cat is by my feet resting while I'm checking my schedule and reading some news...

Shower, then off to the studio!

Get to know your vendors even if you have a planner.
