California Calm and Cool with Mydomaine and Amanda Barnes Xx

The holidays are only days away and already things are so very busy! What better way to start off the season than with this calming space? 

Sentimental as it may sound, Amanda Barnes Interiors made room for her clients to create memories. Intentionally calming color palettes and dual-purpose rooms for this growing family. As a photographer & stylist, I am drawn to the substance she's created in such gentle soothing spaces.

Known for having many talents: incredible mother, talented designer, and wonderful friend, Amanda's work speaks for itself. She is most recognized for her comfortable and chic family-friendly homes. This Silicon Valley home tour is no different, a peaceful extension of her beloved clients, which includes its own personalized meditation room.  

I am wishing  each of you a Holiday filled with love and warmth. I am hoping this space will set the tone for a relaxing holiday season. Thank you to the talented team at MYDOMAINE for supporting my collaborations. I am always so grateful to collaborate with such talented and inspiring women. Sending you all Love. Xx

A Color Rich Austin Home to Brighten Any Day on MYDOMAINE

Designer..... it’s such a blanket word, covering so many genres of creative expression. But when I say the Elizabeth Mollin is a designer, well, I feel like it’s not a big enough word for her talent. She’s a textile designer. An interior designer. She’s the designer behind interesting and gorgeous custom wallpaper lines. So, yes, she’s a designer, and so much more. 

I was introduced to Elizabeth’s work, Stone Textile, a few years ago through one of my first clients. Quickly we developed a mutual admiration for the others art form and maintained contact—that’s the gift of social media, the ease in which we connect and stay connected. Three years later, I happily accepted the opportunity to photograph Elizabeth’s work. 

Elizabeth has established a reputation as a designer with impeccable taste and fearless use of gorgeous jewel tones and dynamic patterns. Her innate ability to anchor bright and bold elements and compliment them with rest sets her apart. You’ll love every moment of her work.

Congratulations, Elizabeth, on this MYDOMAINE feature. And as always, it’s an honor to be invited into these projects and to work with the talented editors at MYDOMAINE. Click HERE for more details. Xx

MyDomaine Feature: Inside an LA Fashion Boutique with Taylor Anne Interiors

I don’t take it lightly—it being the gift of pursuing work that feeds my soul and fuels my creativity. Recently, I spent some time in LA working with Taylor Anne’s gorgeous Boutique space. When I have the opportunity to collaborate on styling and then the joy of capturing a brand in such a beautiful and graceful light----well, I’m left feeling an overwhelming emotion of joy and  palpable gladness.

These images are a few of my favorites from what will go down in the books as a peaceful and productive LA trip. Surrounded by beauty and curated elegance, I was impressed with the effortlessness of the space. Less is always more with me and my lens. California, and this boutique, will always have a piece (or two) of my heart. For that, and all these beautiful moments, I’m forever grateful.

Thank you to the special team at MyDomaine for supporting beauty and an artful way of living. To see more of this space, head over to MyDomaine Now. Xx

MyDomaine Feature: Natural Light and Lots of White

Functionality, sustainability and a measure of modern, chic style—that’s what Ashley Meier brought to the gorgeous space that is now her home. But it wasn’t always so, not in the beginning. According to Ashley, “From the outside, it was charming, but the charm stopped as soon as you walked through the front door. It had been renovated poorly though the years and the floorpan was not conducive to the way I wanted to live.” She went to work rethinking the space: rearranging rooms, opening up some spaces and tightening others. Dark walls and peeling wallpaper have been replaced with a crisp white palette that highlights windows, natural light, and beautifully restored hardwood floors. Speaking of the windows—I’m obsessed with all the sunlight that pours into the space. 

Ashley has created both a haven and a functional space that works perfectly for her very active family. Thank you for letting me into your beautiful home, Ashley! I’m better for it and inspired by the transformation and lovely space you’ve created for your family.

Check out the full feature at MYDOMAINE. Here’s a sneak peak of the space:

P.S. If you like Ashley’s style, you must swing by her linen store in the Green Hills area of Nashville. She’s now offering interior design services, too. Xx
