Litaise Family in Corsica, France
It was a pleasure to photograph my friends, Maddie, her husband Antoine and their baby boy Lennon, in Corsica, France. All shot on 35mm film.
Santa Barbara Homecoming
I joined up with the super sweet and talented Mary Wakefield of Tiny Village Picnic Co. Santa Barbara to throw a stylish beach party for all my Santa Barbara girls after not seeing them for over a 1.5 years due to the pandemic and my pregnancy. This truly was a celebration of new life, love and lifelong friendship!

Travel Guide | My Weekend in Cassis France
While traveling to the South of France, one might think of the glitz and glamour of St Tropez, Shopping in Nice or the Cannes Film Festival. A little less might be known about the adorable village of Cassis. Cassis is best known for the Calanques, a succession of coves and creeks extending over more than twenty kilometers of coastline on the Mediterranean Sea and also its wine. There you can swim in the crystal waters or relax on the shores so rosé all day, sans probleme! (Also Vogue Paris says, Tiny City in the South of France Trumps St. Tropez anyday!)
Where to Stay
My adorable photographer friend Maddie Broderick (who is married to a French man with baby boy on the way!) and I opted for a nice relaxing weekend at Villa Dadou and Villa Mita, two gorgeous airbnb properties over looking the sea and Cap Canaille. Follow me though my lens as I fall head over heels for all things Cassis.
What to See
Hands down, you have to visit the famous Calanques or hike Cap Canaille for a grand view above Cassis. There you will be able to spot grand villas, vineyards, the village and of course the sparking ocean.
Sip and Savour
For a quite luxurious lunch or dinner, I highly recommend La Villa Madie, 2 stars and you will not regret it. Another option is of course a small picnic along the harbour in Cassis. Don’t forget the rosé!
Where to Shop in Cassis
For all things french girl chic, look no further than the boutique Lulli sur la toile, a staple in the south. There is also a great little or should I say big for Cassis, market every Wednesday and Friday. There you can snag great Provence styles, jewelry, home goods and more.
