The seasons are changing, and with it your projects, moods and color palette.

​Now and then, I love to share with you which pieces of the collection are the bestsellers of the season. It's always fun for me to discover which scenes and colors catch your eye more than others, and how this changes over time. Some of your favorites seem to be carved in stone (you'll surely recognize these "signature pieces" because they're my favorites too!), but others sometimes take me by surprise.

Sunday in Burano

5/9/2017

One of your favorites, whether you are a traveller, dreamer or interior designer has always been "Sunday in Burano". The composition is balanced and the colors are gentle, and it fits harmoniously with a variety of decors.

I remember the day I stood in that piazza. It was a quiet October morning, sprinkled only with the sounds of church-bells, locals sweeping their doorsteps, kids kicking a soccer ball against walls and Italian voices engaged in quiet discussion. Since I was given my first camera, I have always loved photographing local life, especially when the scene has the quality of a painting. So, when I saw him cross the piazza, I had to reach for my lens. When I look at this photograph, I think of Venice, of my love for color, and my journey as a photographer.

​I admit, it's one of MY favorites, too. ?

With Mothers' Day around the corner, I thought I would share with you which photographs are my own Mom's favorites. 
Having spent a lot of time helping me out at shows and markets this spring, and being the number one fan of my blog, my Mom has had ample opportunity to enthusiastically communicate which photos make her feel most nostalgic and inspired. Truthfully, it makes me love these photos even more!
In case these might also inspire your Mom or other beautiful women in your life, on Mothers' Day or any other occasion, feel free to click on them to see them in my print shop. Note that the titles and heartfelt captions (in English and French) accompany the print when you receive it!

Your 13 Favorites in 2016

9/1/2017

And, just like that, 2016 is behind us. What a year and what a ride!

One of my absolute favorite things about having such a large collection of prints is that I get to see which ones make you look twice - which ones you end up choosing for your own space. 

Often, it's a print that's never been ordered before, making it sort of one of a kind. Other times, it's a crowd-favorite. What's fun is that the crowd-favorites change from time to time.

​Here are the 13 places and compositions you loved most this past year.

Truly the best part of my work is the joy I feel when I stop and realize that I am sharing my photographs with others worldwide. It is so much fun for me to witness reactions in person at artisan shows or when hand-delivering an item that was ordered in my online shop. There are so many photographs in my ever-growing collection, and I love the surprise and curiosity I feel when I find out which one has caught someone's attention and has made them say, "Yes!".

I find it especially interesting when one or two photographs consistently end up being "favorited", "pinned" and purchased. It makes me pause to think about what it is that draws people to those images - is it the color, composition, mood or the place? Is it just that it is versatile for any space? I love to speculate about what makes people relate most to certain images over others...and of course I love getting your feedback directly! 

Based on this joyous part of my work, I have decided to start a new blog series called "Your favorites" where, every few months, I'll share with you which photographs have been the most popular in the collection.
