Last month Brandon and I went on a cruise docking out of Orlando and also went to Disneyworld. We visited The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and The Dominican Republic. It was the trip of a lifetime and was a much needed sunny break from a very rainy Los Angeles winter.

On October 8, 2022 I married my best friend and partner of 8.5 years, Brandon Pertzborn.

I love the freedom and flexibility of traveling by car! […]
Before heading out to the desert to wrap up Oeste Home (Claire Thomas’ latest project that I assisted and styled), Claire told me to grab some outfits so I could shoot some pics in this gorgeous space we’ve been painstakingly working on all year. It felt so good to finally enjoy the home in it’s […]
