Slow Living with Anna Demarco

Hey friends!

I hope you've had a lovely couple of weeks since we last spoke. I've been busy spring cleaning/ decluttering which feels great, but has also taken a lot of energy!
The house is really starting to feel amazing though, despite the piles of things I'm still sorting through. It's nice to have a decent stretch of time at home to be able to take on something like that without having to leave partway through. But, my next trip is starting to get closer now... I'll be heading ...

Frost with Astrid Kallsen

Hi friends!

I hope you're all well and enjoying a beautiful April. I've been enjoying a little time at home and I'm anxiously awaiting the last frost so I can plant my herb and sweet potato seedlings outdoors! I thought Frost might be a suitable title for this wintery series, taken by the lovely model and photographer, Astrid Kallsen, on my February visit to Georgia. The trip was mostly too chilly for working outdoors but we got lucky with the conditions on this day and I absolutely l...

Alpine with Shantia Veney

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all having a beautiful day! I'm just settling in back at home after my trip to the West Coast which was a lot of fun. So much so that I've decided to return there for my next major trip, in May! Generally, I only visit an area once each year, so this is unusual for me, but this trip left a feeling of unfinished business in the Southern California area so I look forward to returning to connect with those I missed this time around... hopefully with some warmer ...

Madonna Inn with Theresa Maria

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a beautiful day. I just arrived in San Diego last night, after driving through a snowstorm on the mountain pass between here and Phoenix, which was quite unexpected!

I hope you'll enjoy these images taken by my friend Theresa Maria, at the Madonna Inn, in late 2017. Not-fun fact, I'd been exposed to poison oak (in San Diego, coincidentally) a few days before this shoot and had a horrible rash all over my belly, legs, back, and arms. It's been remo...

Halo with Tim Robert

Hi friends!

Perhaps I'm just channeling warmer weather ahead of my visit to Arizona next week but when thinking about what to share with you today I happened to remember this set of images taken in 2019 that I've not yet shared with anyone. These were taken in San Francisco and I love the dreamy effect of the mist and low light!

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend. I've had a pleasant week or so back at home but it's gone by way too fast! I usually have a bit more of a br...

Stark with Ryan Michael Kelly

Hi everyone,

Happy February! I can't believe we're here already! I hope you're all doing great.
I've been enjoying some wonderful (if slightly cold) shoots in North Carolina and Georgia for the past two weeks. :)

These images were taken in 2016, by the wonderful NYC-based fashion photographer, Ryan Michael Kelly. I've never shared any images from this shoot. I've never spoken about it publicly but, between 2014-2016, I had a (relatively minor) health issue that caused me to ...

Riverside with Stellina Stampouli

Hi friends, I hope you're all well and having a beautiful 2023 so far! :)
Mine has been a blur of preparing for my next trip, which I leave for in the morning!
I'll be visiting North Carolina and Georgia, neither of which I've visiting since 2017.

I hope you'll enjoy these images taken by Stellina on my visit to Texas last month!
This dress was my holiday gift to myself and I had some images almost exactly like this in mind when I purchased it... it's such a nice treat when...

Happy Holidays!!

I hope you've all had some beautiful time with your families or just some downtime alone, and can enjoy a little rest ahead for the last few days of 2022. Thank you all so much for being such a special part of mine! It's been a year of contrast for me... the first half of the year was very quiet and family-oriented, and the second half has been such a blur of travel and creativity that I've barely had a chance to come up for air! Both parts have been wonderful though, and I'm excited for what...

After Dark with Stellina Stampouli

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all well and having a beautiful December! I'm sorry I've been a bit quiet; I've been in Texas since the beginning of the month and just got home a couple of days ago to a whirlwind of things that need to be wrapped up before Christmas. I'm excited to have 5 weeks here before my next trip! :) I'll be visiting North Carolina and Georgia at the end of January. I had some SUPER rewarding creative adventures in Texas which I'm more than a little bit excited to sha...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I couldn't be more grateful for each and every one of you! Truly. This space has become such a source of inspiration to me over these past couple of years, and it would mean nothing without you. Thank you.

I hope you'll enjoy these images of me loving on various pieces of fabric, haha, taken by Donny Tidmore in Austin a couple of years back.

Whether it's Thanksgiving where you live or not, I hope you're having a beautiful day with your loved ones, or just basking in some self-l...

Autumnal with Matthew LaPierre

Hi friends,  I hope you're all having a wonderful November! I've started mine off with major dental surgery so I'm just settling in at home to recover from that. Despite the discomfort, I'm excited to spend a few days at home sipping on soups and smoothies. :)  

I hope you'll enjoy these images taken remotely last month by Matthew LaPierre (edited by me). Matthew wanted to plan a creative session featuring fall colors so I collected some leaves and branches from around my nei...

Naiad with George Allen

Hi everyone,

I hope you've all been well and a warm welcome to my new friends here! :) Thank you all so much for your patience with me these past couple of months while I've been working/traveling almost nonstop! It's been an inspiring blur. Things haven't slowed down quite yet as I prepare for a trip to Philadelphia in a couple of days, but the pace will be winding down after that, and I'm excited to spend some more time at home over the cooler months.

Here's a set I love from ...

Ashore with Piquant Photo

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a happy September!

Apologies that it's been a minute since I checked it... I've been touring the West Coast which has meant 20 long and inspiring days of shooting so far... including with a couple of you! :) Just a few days to go now until I head back home for a couple of weeks. This will be my last long tour for the year and I look forward to concentrating on shorter, more local trips over winter as well as catching up with all things digital. 2022-09-21 04:45:19 +0000 UTC View Post

Fragment with Cam Mackie

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend! I've had a very busy couple of weeks since I got home from the East Coast, both with settling back in from that, and preparing for my next trip, which I leave for in just 2 days! This will be another long one (3-4 weeks), featuring mostly the San Francisco area and the Pacific Northwest... So excited! After that, I'll be sticking to shorter trips for the remainder of the year and look forward to having more time to focus on home s...

Fauna with Anthony Gauna

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend. I'm just about at the end of my 3-week tour of the East Coast. It's been full-on but super inspiring! I'm currently in D.C. and head home on Wednesday. :)

This set is not from my current trip but is one I've been looking forward to sharing with you for a while as it captures a day that was very special for my friend Anthony and me last November. We were working in a grassy area surrounded by forest, near San Antonio. As we we...

Soho with Mikey McMichaels

Hi friends,

I hope you're all having a lovely July and enjoying the warmer weather. July is a busy month of birthdays for me... almost all of my family have birthdays this month! It's been lovely to spend a few weeks at home and with everyone. It's almost time for me to start packing again though and I couldn't be more excited for my next trip to the East Coast, in just 3 days! So many of my all-time favorite collaborators live in that part of the country and it's just a place that I ...

Uintas with Shantia Veney

Hi everyone,

I hope you've all been well and that those of you in the U.S. had a beautiful long weekend! :)

It's been a busy week here, between settling back in, the holiday, my birthday, and planning my next trip! But I feel like I'm finally starting to get on top of things a little.
And, just in the last 48 hours I've started recieving sooo many lovely images from my time in Utah! These ones were taken on my first day there, on a very windy but inspiring wander with my f...

Reverie with Stellina Stampoulli

Hi everyone! And a warm welcome to my new friends here! :) I hope you've all been enjoying the last days of Spring. I'm still in Southern Utah and I've had a wonderful few weeks of creating in the desert but my time here is nearing a close. It will be sad to leave, but I'm looking forward to resting for a few weeks before heading to the East Coast for more creative adventures! :)

I hope you'll enjoy these recent images by Stellina Stampoulli. When I visited Austin last November, S...

The Edge with De Carbón Azul

Hi friends, from sunny Utah! I just arrived here and I'm super excited for three weeks of creating in the beautiful landscapes here! :) Speaking of beautiful landscapes, I'm so happy to share these images from my last visit to Seattle with you, taken by the talented analog photographer, De Carbón Azul. Eduardo and I had been speaking about a shoot for many years but this was the first time our schedules aligned. After some discussion about various options, we chose this location... I was in ...

Light and Lace with Tim Robert

Hi everyone! I hope you've all been well and enjoying the warmer weather. :)
And, I hope you'll enjoy these photos which I finally got around to editing (with photographer's permission) from last summer, by the lovely Tim Robert in San Fransciso!
Apologies to my friends here who prefer razor sharp images... I know we may have been hitting the backlighting a little hard in these, hehe. Tim and I both love a dreamy, filmic aesthetic so when we get together we often encourage one another ...

Urban with Chase Hart

Hi everyone,

I'm so truly sorry for the slow couple of months here! I just spent a wonderful 6 weeks in New Zealand with my family and throughout it, I kept expecting things to slow down (my eagerly packed books and creative projects never got touched) so that I could catch up with online things, but that turned out not to be the nature of this particular visit. Thank you all so much for sticking around! I promise to pick up the pace over the coming weeks. :)

These images were t...

Wild with Margarita Kalmikova

Hi friends! I hope you've all been super well. :) I'm sorry it's been a minute, I've spent the last two weeks with my mum in New Zealand and, while our time together is usually fairly low-key, this visit she had wanted to travel to visit some friends and family who we'd originally planned (but not succeeded) to see in 2020 and the whole trip so far has been a bit of a (wonderful) whirlwind!  I just arrived at my dad's place on Te Waipounamu / South Island and expect the next two weeks to...

Cancerian with Stellina Stampouli

Hello from New Zealand! :) After two years of closed-ish borders I'm finally back here visiting my family, which is lovely! It's been a busy couple of weeks of packing/preparing and traveling but I've been meaning to share these images, taken by Stellina during my November visit to Austin and some of my new all-time favorites, with you. Stellina and I were walking back to the car at the end of out shoot when I spotted this magical looking patch of tall purple flowers which couldn't be passed ...

Antelope Island with G.A. Photography

Hi friends! I hope you're all well and looking forward to the weekend!

I've been excited to share these images with you since they were taken last summer. The photographer, a lovely friend of mine, was kind enough to offer me permission to edit the images which is something I love having the opportunity to practice but I AM SLOW! I'm glad to have finally found time to chip away at these over the past few days. It was hard to narrow down my favorites! I hope you'll enjoy them too.

Self with Peonies

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing great. :) I've been working in Phoenix for the past week and I'm currently stuck here for an extra two days due to flight cancellations from the winter storm! But, every situation has its opportunities and I'm glad that this one gave me a moment to finish looking through and tweaking these self-portraits I took just before I left. I hope you'll like them!

I've been wanting to try self-portraits for a long time and this is my first attempt in...

Secret Meadow with Anthony Gauna

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all having a lovely week. I just landed in Phoenix, my first trip since these images by my dear friend Anthony Gauna were taken, in November! After spending the past couple of months in the snow, I'm so much looking forward to a week of creating in nature. :)

I'll try to add some more details about this shoot tomorrow after some rest. In the meantime, I  hope you'll like these images as much as I do and I look forward to sharing more from this sh...

Annapolis with Ben Fernon

Hi friends! I hope you're all having a wonderful 2022 so far! Mine has been spent working on some minor repairs around the home, which has been very satisfying but has also created piles of stuff everywhere to deal with, which inspired a massive decluttering effort. It's all starting to come together though, and is a good way to keep warm at this time of year! :)

I've been meaning to post for the past week so I'm sorry that this is a little later than I'd intended. It sounds counterint...

Happy Holidays!!

I know I don't look especially happy in these (or any) photographs, but I am... I promise! :)
I love this time of year... I don't even know why entirely... I just enjoy the buzz in the air and the songs and decorations. While my husband and I don't exchange gifts, we do get a live tree each year and there's nothing quite like the waft of pine through the house! We struggle with letting go though and often still have them mid-January; holding on until they literally fall to pieces. (But... ...

Eden with Stellina Stampouli

Hi friends! I hope you're all enjoying your weekend so far! :) And I hope you'll enjoy these new edits from a remote shoot with Stellina a few months back. I am absolutely in love with the way they turned out! After several online creative sessions together over the past year or so, Stellina and I were finally able to catch up in person again last month!! I look forward to sharing the images from that meeting soon as well.

I've had a lovely first couple of weeks back at home so far an...

From Skin to Sky II with Justin Rosenberg

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful day ahead, whatever your plans. It's not a holiday I grew up with and we don't do much to celebrate at this stage (spread out family), but I always start to feel a bit festive at this time of year anyway. Particularly so this year as I just returned home from my final trip for a little while (I very much enjoyed the Texan warmth!) and I'm excited to have the next few weeks to catch my breath and get on top of things. :)

I'm ...
