I woke up my first morning in Montreal to find a bunch of jars like this one in the kitchen. I guess my dad lets his jam cool upside down.
More photos from the trip are coming up soon.

Fish Tacos & Brazilian Lemonade
Ok, so I know this is supposed to be a photography blog and not a food blog, but I’ve been enjoying spending time at home during this little break so much that I couldn’t resist letting a little of my personal life seep onto my work blog.
This is possibly my favorite summer dinner, second only to tapenade on garden cucumber slices and gazpacho.
The fish tacos are Nie’s, and the lemonade is Azucar’s.

Homemade Sourdough
It’s kind of my new favorite thing.
The minute I read the recipe in this book, I started my sourdough starter, and was pretty flabbergasted when it actually worked. I haven’t had much success with bread in the past, but this is some of the best bread I’ve ever had (if I may say so myself).
The book is great too.

I’d Rather be Napping
I don’t know about you guys, but daylight savings has got me really sleepy. It’s even worse today than it was yesterday. Not to mention that I recently revamped our bed with new pillows (I made them!) and a new duvet, so it’s extra cozy and fresh for spring.
p.s.: I love the light in our apartment. Hopefully the new place will be good too.

Aurora & Ben, Preview
A few weeks ago I had a stroke of inspiration and decided it would be amazing to shoot a handmade themed bridal session (remember the felt flowers I was making?). Aurora and Ben graciously agreed to model for me and we shot it today. I’m so thrilled with the images I had to post one before doing the rest of the editing. Check back for more!
p.s.: isn’t she gorgeous?

It’s going to be awesome.

My First Quilt
So remember back when I was procrastinating writing a paper and I decided I wanted to make a quilt? Well I did. I got a sewing machine for Christmas and some helpful books and I made a quilt. I can’t claim that all the lines are straight, but I am pretty proud of myself.
