Friends, fun and home. That is my absolute favorite thing to photograph. I had the chance to visit my beautiful friend Ann Madden this last weekend. She is probably one of the funniest people I have ever met. Not only did I spend time with her, but my other two friends, Katy Tuttle and Kim Turner Smith, joined in on the fun. We all went down to visit Ann and explore Bay Saint Louis and enjoy her gallery, Smith and Lens. We each had a couple pieces in her show, Wonderland. Really I wanted to see this place for myself. It did not disappoint.
Cutest family ever.
The trombone made great noises.
This is my favorite kitchen. I have photographed many kitchens and have never come across one with so much character and warmth. I need to spend more time in the south.
A story in every inch of this place.
and art everywhere
dreamiest kids room.
The drop cloths pulled us all in. It reminded me of bit of the corner Penn built… a lot less controlled. Much more imperfect, but still cool.
So much greenery everywhere. Palms and lush, tropical foliage everywhere I turned. I want this porch and the light just makes it over the top.
So much energy. Donuts eaten before photographing guaranteed laughter and movement. I highly recommend sugar before a shoot… only if you can keep smiling with the crazy that follows.
You’re amazing and I am so lucky to be able to call you a friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Xoxox
Wow — your over-the-top photos and comments really, really capture the energy and awesomeness of everyone (including the rooms and exterior of their home) there. LOVE IT!!! You have a magical touch, I can tell! Ann is fortunate to know you.
