I believe in beauty. I believe it is everywhere. I believe it is powerful, healing and available to us at any moment, if we pause to discover it or create it.

Since my son went blind, I realized beauty isn’t just pretty. He experiences beauty constantly, and he helped me realize that beauty exists in dimensions far beyond vision. There is an immersive, experiential quality of beauty that I hope to capture here.

May you discover some beautiful inspiration (and a smile)! XO, L

This weekend, my family heads up to a Fallen Leaf Lake, tucked deep in the Sierras. Inspired by the promise of fresh air, rustic cabins, scratchy blankets, hiking and fishing with our littles, s'mores and disco bingo (yep, it's true!), I collected images of some of my favorite lakehouses and country escapes. I especially love the Belgian home on Lake Genval - the light and use of texture is incredible! Hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. XO, L
