My head is still in an absolute spin from last Friday’s friends and family teaser of @autophoto Toronto, but here’s a few snippets of the wildest and most wonderful adventure of my life.

Who’d have thought when I joked last October that we should “open the next one in Toronto” that A, I’d be taken seriously, or B, that we would pull it off with such joy and laughter and fun along the way.

There are MANY people not pictured, and we couldn’t have pulled this off without them!

Our hands on every screw, every bolt, every wire, every painted surface, and everything else in between in this space - and we are just SO excited to share her with the world.

@autophoto_bre you changed my life and there will never be adequate words.

A few highlights from Emily and Jeff’s wedding day. This day had such a relaxed energy to it; the people, the colors, the contrast between rain and shine, and the beautiful property @junebug_asheville made for such a perfect wedding day that was amazing to be a part of.

Maybe my biggest summer dump ever! Inspired by putting on a sweatshirt for the first time this week & my motivation to get out of my anti posting slump. I’ve been doing stufffffff

Summer was freaking awesome, lots of laughs, tats, some New England time, plenty of North Carolina humidity, bikini time, kitty time, and hugs from the best angels I know.

While I’m bummed because I love the summer, I also loooove fall and the coming months are full of some exciting things!

Check @thirdcharmtattoo for studio happenings such as deats for our flash day and open house party next month!

I’m last minute guest spotting in Charlotte THIS WEEK on Friday the 2nd at @clt_tattoo (email or dm me to book)

Also I’ll be at @_northmoontattoo Oct 14-16 (I only have time left on the 14th in the afternoon, fill out a form on my website to book)

And thennnnn attending @middletntattooexpo in November, click their page for deats! Feel free to email me if you want to set an appt, otherwise I’ll be with @pollenpowder taking walk ups, handing out stickers, and being cute!

Feeling rested, grateful, and ready. Hope you are too!

Kisses to you all, I love you ⭐️⭐️⭐️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🌀🌀🌀

5 YEARS IN THE MAKING
To the little apartment that made me a mother, it has been a delight, a chore, an honor, and a thrill to turn this 1000 sq ft white box into a home over the last five years. Pulling end tables off the sidewalk, plucking pothos props from planters at the mall, and discovering a love for collaging purely from the need to perfect the gallery wall, decorating this space taught me everything about balance, blocking, and making a room feel comfortable and bright. From the knickknacks perched on frame’s lips to the doodads peeking out between the peace lilies, everything is about creating hidden surprises that build towards an overall cohesion - in the end, every wall is a collage, and every bit of art is a piece to the puzzle.

Thank you to Dom and Matthew for putting up with my shenanigans, whether it was hammering late at night or dragging home the occasional oversized chair. Looking forward to starting again soon in our new house (yes, that’s HOUSE w a YARD) in Echo Park and beginning a new chapter.

And of course a HUGE thank you to Crystal Silva for these beautiful photos. Your eye and your direction made this such a fun afternoon to capture the space in all her glory :)
