This home is amazing, though maybe a little too intense in the black and white world for me. Still, pretty beautiful.

Oh how I miss you bus, don't worry you'll run again some day.

the neon factor

Just as I rant about not being a fan of red walls I find something 100x more obnoxious, that of course, I love. It's like that hat you buy and never wear. Can I really pull this off? Ugh, I'm just not cool enough, back in the closet you go. That's just how I feel about this wall, I'm not sure I'm up to par in the cool department, but oh do I love it. Someday neon wall, someday I'll rock you.

farm land

Will and I headed to Oregon for a shoot this weekend and stopped by a pumpkin patch on the way home. We actually spent the majority of the weekend in Portland, but I was regrettably lazy and didn't take any photos.

drying herbs

I got my new Kinfolk magazine in the mail last week, and went straight to the deck and read it cover to cover. I was obviously influenced by the story on drying herbs, as after reading it I wandered around the house clipping what we have left and hanging them in the sauna to dry. All I was able to scavenge was lemon verbena, sage, a little lavender and a tiny bit of mint. I'll be on top of it better next year, and this little bit is a good start.

I take pictures!

I'm excited to announce the launch of my photography portfolio; Maddy Takes Pictures. It's really just a rough beginning at this point, as I have a ton of photos to add, but it's a start. Check it out!

tomato success

Our tomatos finally ripened this week and I feel like a proud parent. Not that I honestly did much, they're much more Will's babies than they are mine. They were taking forever to ripe and I was frantically looking up fried green tomato recipes, but a little tip from a coworker made all the difference. We cut back all the extra leaves allowing more energy to go towards the tomatos, and presto, ripe and delicious.

oh baby

I had a shoot at a daycare a few weeks ago and wanted to share a few favorite shots. They were all adorable, but this little girl in particular I couldn't get enough of. I mean those eyes? Come on.
