Twenty-five years ago, I walked into the courthouse in Brunswick, Maine, to sign the papers that made my photography business official. When you start anything, you hope it will keep growing, and I am so grateful that it did. As I reflect on these twenty-five years, grateful is the first word that comes to mind. Not only for this beautiful adventure, but for the people who have been part of every chapter of this story.

Suzanne and Stephen have known each other for more than 20 years.  They met through the same circle of friends in middle and high school. Stephen drove Suzanne to school. Suzanne drove Stephen crazy. His best friend dated her best friend and somewhere along the way, Suzanne and Stephen became confidants.

I am not sure how I discovered ViBi Venezia. I assume it was at another store or on someone I follow on Instagram. I was drawn to their simplicity. When I found their website, I loved that they really do what they are good at: slip-on flats that are timeless.

When was the last time you were professionally fitted for a bra? If you can’t remember, it may be time for a refresh.

If you've been putting off your estate plan because the trust-versus-will question feels like a rabbit hole you don't have time for, you're not alone.

As a child of the ’70s, I also really love sweaters that have a vintage feel. Maybe a fitted crew with some detail around the collar, a great argyle, or my favorite: anything that has a collar—and if it is a stripe, even better. I think that is why I was so drawn to Guest in Residence. Something about the styles reminded me of my childhood.

Who has time for a full face every morning? Not me! Korean lash lifts, brow lamination, and lash and brow tinting are little luxuries that do the heavy lifting for you. They don’t change who you are. They help you look like the most rested, put-together version of yourself, even on four hours of sleep.

Have you ever been star-struck? Perhaps you've met a favorite musician or an author whose books you've admired for years. For me, that moment came when I reached out to Dr. Daniel Willingham, a cognitive scientist and professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, to ask whether he might speak to parents here in Alexandria, and when he agreed, I was thrilled!
