Green Tea Chia Drink for Ginger & Birch

One of the many benefits of having Ashley Wilcox as a friend is her ability to throw together several ingredients and whip up one delicious result. This Pomegranate Green Tea Chia Drink that we photographed for her blog last season has been on my mind since I can't seem to kick this sniffly nose. These little chia seeds pack a big punch high in fiber, calcium and antioxidants so you can bet they're on my grocery list this week. Cheers!

mussels for two with almost makes perfect

My most favorite place to photograph people is in their homes. It adds such a wonderfully personal aspect to the photos and documents this particular stage of life in such a lovely way. I got to team up with Molly from Almost Makes Perfect for a little at-home Valentine's inspiration -- some Valentinspiration, if you will -- when asked to share her favorite Urban Outfitters goodies with a romantic mussel meal for two. You don't have to wait 11 months for Valentines 2016 for cuddly night in. Go ahead, put on those comfy clothes and settle in. (You can find her mussel recipe, too!)
