Here's a bit of Thanksgiving inspiration as the day fast approaches. This is a shot from a Thanksgiving feast with @krugchampagne that I creative directed + edited from abroad. A huge thanks + 🙌🏻 to our wildly talented team: stylist & florist @petalinefloral, food stylist @susan_m_rowe, and photographer @ericcharlespeterson for executing this beautiful gathering. It was so cool to see this all come together even with me on the other side of the world! We fly home from Tokyo tomorrow just in time for Thanksgiving at home. I've spent the day Eula wrangling, packing, and finishing up my EPIC set of travel presets inspired by Paris, Japan, Marrakech, and Greece.

It’s neither Shake ‘N Bake, nor did I help! (With cooking/prep, anyway.) Got to photograph some Graciasgiving goings-on for my sister-from-another-mister-and-mother-and-different-family-entirely, @local_milk, for @krugchampagne. 🎈 #Repost @local_milk ・・・ Here's a bit of Thanksgiving inspiration as the day fast approaches.

Some holiday table inspiration for you guys as Christmas fast approaches! We had a small Christmas dinner party this week with all of the people who have helped us out this year, and it was magical. It really does take a village and without the people who help us with the house, the business, and Eula, I would not be able to do what I do. . So if you ever get a case of the comparisons on Instagram, I want to be the one over here shouting: none of us is perfect, even if our brands feed is curated, that isn't real life! It's merely a sliver of a moment, 1/125 of a second frozen in post-processed time. . Real life is messes, sick days, missed deadlines, and Netflix. It's ordering pizza and knowing when to fold 'em. It's carving out beauty whenever and wherever we can, and making sure we don't miss the beauty in the journey, in the process. If you live for the finish line you won't be living at all. And you'll be sorely disappointed to find there is no finish line. So don't wait for tomorrow to be happy. Don't wait for perfect. And know that no one is perfect, least of all me. I am someone who knows how to ask for help when I can't be all things (which is basically all of the time!) So a big thanks to @danjnel & @linensandgrains, @alistickers & @jordansticker, @nataciar81 & @johnnycate for letting us borrow her! Without those homies, I'd be a mess and so would everything else! Tag the people that made your world go around this year in the comments to say a big thanks! #livemoremagic #localmilkgathering #theartofslowliving • • • • • #pursuepretty #flashesofdelight #thehappynow #livethelittlethings #darlingmovement #petitejoys #livecolorfully #abmlifeiscolorful #darlingweekend #postitfortheaesthetic #seekthesimplicity #myunicornlife #calledtobecreative #abmhappylife #dscolor #morningslikethese #finditliveit #lovelysquares #creativityfound #verilymoment #risingtidesociety #acolorstory #chasinglight #abmlifeissweet #communityovercompetition #theeverydayproject #feelfreefeed (at Chattanooga, Tennessee)

Last year's Christmas table. I'm busy planning this next weekend's workshops here as well as our annual Christmas dinner with a few friends the week after. . . We've had a few last minute cancellations for the workshop due to illness, so we have an opening on each day, this Friday and Saturday! The tickets are first come first serve and go fast, so grab your spot via the link in profile! . . We'll be diving deep into The Art of Food Photography from styling, to cameras, to editing, to sharing it all on social media. I'm so excited to welcome you into my home, serve my food, gather around this very table, and share everything I've learned about food photography over the years, including how I plan to shoot my book. This is probably the LAST workshop I will be teaching in the flesh for a long time to come as I focus on my book, my family, and growing other aspects of the business in 2018, so don't miss it! Link in profile to get a spot. #livemoremagic #localmilkgathering • • • • • #gatheringslikethese #lifeandthyme #morningslikethese #thatauthenticfeeling #verilymoment #makeitblissful #stillife #littlebitsof_life #theartofslowliving #stilllifephotography #seekthesimplicity #aquietstyle #mycommontable #still_life_gallery #myopenkitchen #foragebyfolk #postitfortheaesthetic #styleonmytable #gatheredstyle #loveletterto #onthetableproject #fellowmag #mymonthofsundays #loves_vscolifestyle #allwhatsbeautiful #inspiremyinstagram #darlingweekend (at Chattanooga, Tennessee)
