A Moliceiro Boat Ride through Aveiro's Ria || The "Portuguese Venice" || Dreamery Events

I’ve never been to Venice or Italy, but I have been to the “Portuguese Venice”… Oh sweet colorful Aveiro, I had only been to your well known and lovely beaches, Costa Nova with your iconic Aveiro striped homes all perfectly lined in different colors. And Barra, a more lively beach town with fresh sea to…

Traveling to...the intriguing Covão dos Conchos & hiking the beautiful Serra da Estrela | Dreamery Events

Summer officially meets its end for the year next week, and even if the weather has been anything but sunshine this last week, I’ve been hanging on to sweet summertime for dear life. I didn’t do much traveling this summer, but the month I was fortunate to spend in Portugal was more than how I’d…

Cruising Along the Historic & Scenic Douro River

August 21, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Over the weekend we celebrated another one of those silly holidays, World Photography Day, but this is one I can get behind. It had me thinking of all the creative and pretty things I’ve shot since my high school days when I first picked up a film camera, to all the amazing travels I’ve taken and…

‘Faded Grandeur’ Meets Contemporary Architecture & Signature Cuisine || A Guide to Porto’s Unique Vibrance

'Faded Grandeur' Meets Contemporary Architecture & Signature Cuisine || A Guide to Porto's Unique Vibrance | Dreamery Events

Let me start off my explaining ‘faded grandeur’. It means that Porto’s beautiful historical architecture and homes used to be perfectly chiseled and painted, but have aged a bit, a losing a bit of their pristine looks, but it in NO way deters from all of its stunning beauty!   Cobbled streets, tiled building, historical…

Birthday Reflections || Dreamery Events

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind…[and]…As you…

Traveling to…The Picture-Perfect Mountains of Portugal’s Wine Country || Douro Part I

Traveling to...The Picturesque Mountains of Portugal's Wine Country || Douro Part I || Dreamery Events

I’ve been feeling pretty nostalgic, I think it’s because I’ve just been so on the go. It’s been even worse, the wanderlust is especially driving me crazy after I finally framed a photo from my Portugal trip last year. It makes me happy but also makes my travel itch even worse! Yet surrounding myself with…

Traveling to... Where Tradition Meets Lively Beauty : Porto's Picturesque Ribeira | Dreamery Events

  Um espresso quentinho e forte, o vento da tarde do rio navegando com a tradição e vistas pitorescas da cidade e montanhas, as mais lindas melodias de Fado que tocam fundo na tua alma e coração, e as pessoas, de perto e longe, curiosamente caminhando sobre a calçada…..Este é um momento na Ribeira, isto, é o Porto…….

Traveling to...Porto's Vibrant Streets

I’ve been coming to Portugal all my life, yet I’ve haven’t seen or experienced nearly a quarter of its historic beauty and rich culture. Porto is the country’s second largest and most famous city, yet I’ve only ever been here in passing from the airport, a brief hour before making my way down to our…

Autumn Vibes | Dreamery Events

The time for falling leaves and apple cider has finally come upon us and we couldn’t be more excited. Whether you’re a fan of carving pumpkins or creating your own Halloween costume, there’s something about fall that makes it a favorite for most. The key word being “most”, because not me, I just deal with it. I figured earlier in…

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
