Adam treated me to something really amazing last week – a tintype portrait session! In the era of digital photography, there’s no shortage of personal imagery. Hello, ten years of What I Wore!

A New Year, A Clean Slate
Welcome to my new blog! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so excited for this new space and for a clean slate for my creative projects. For a long time I’ve felt limited by the name What I Wore and had a desire to share more of my world and less of what I’m wearing. Not…
