Mary Ellen transforms vintage textiles—quilts, towels, tablecloths, and other well-loved fabrics—into one-of-a-kind garments and accessories. While we've photographed her finished pieces in nature before, this brand storytelling session was an opportunity to step inside the studio and document the creative process behind them—the tools, textures, workspace, and thoughtful details that make her work uniquely hers.

Hey friends!  Happy Friday!

I am so excited to share that my photo (and Ellie the Bug) is on the cover of the latest issue of The 30A Life!  You can see the issue here online or pick up a copy around the 30A area.  I've been wanting to share this with you all since I first saw the cover a few days ago.  It's really a cool feeling as I watch where my photography takes me... Where will I be this time next year?

What is it like to up and move to the beach?

I get asked this question all of the time.  From an outside perspective, it's sexy and glamorous.  I get that.  You get that.  Blah blah blah. 

But what's it really like?

I'm so excited that my video + photos made the news! Check out the clip below.
