This Just In: ANA’s FAVE SPA!
Where else? Naturopathica Spa in East Hampton! I knew I had a crush on this spa when I arrived to photograph it a few weeks ago (see below!) but then when I came back to actually indulge in some serious R&R by booking treatments, I was truly smitten. Actually, a lost cause. Total addict.
I admit–I’m a die hard spa junkie. Name any fancy NYC brand-name or chinatown minispa and I’ve been there! But the calming indigo vibe, super friendly staff and TOTALLY TALENTED therapists really seal the deal for me, not to MENTION the product line is to die for. Naturopathica really gets my vote.
My fave product: Vitamin K Brightening Eye Serum, which is clearly made of liquid velvet, that is LITERALLY what it feels like as you smooth it on. Go! Run! Get yourself some!

The Sweetest Thing
It came to me yesterday.
The late afternoon in Montauk found a wide wooden deck with a sprightly toddler upon it, and as the warm evening unfurled into night, I frolicked about with my very own nephew Eli, at the precious age of 19 months. It occurred to me then that the sweetest thing about being an artist for a living is the occasional opportunity to train your lens (paintbrush, words, whatever) on your very own loved ones. Thanks E, for just being your adorable self! <3

Part 1: THE LONDON DIARIES
Cheerio! Back from foggy Londontown, and so stoked to share photos from the trip! The thing was–it wasn’t foggy at all! In fact, compared with an NYC summer that has featured temps akin to those in Miami, the London weather was literally EUPHORIC. 70 and sunny!
We stayed in a hotel that was actually a townhouse (cool!) and wandered around the neighborhoods as though we were locals, just breezing in and out and exploring as we saw fit. The neighborhoods were completely adorable and quiet, and we LOVED our corner chippy by the week’s end. Like, a LOT.
Tea and scones at Fortnum and Mason are up in Part 2! <3

Twins in Rockefeller Park!
Toddle and play, toddle and play! These twins celebrated their 1st Birthday with a photoshoot in a beautiful park in downtown Manhattan. They were so curious and so excited to run in the grass and point out at the water, there’s SO much to see in this killer park! <3

Fallbrook, CA
What a lovely, wine-country-looking, napa-like town, just halfway between San Diego and Temecula! Saw some fun desert-y California flora and fauna that was new to my eyeballs… <3

Coppertone Ruthie
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING embodies a little girl’s summery dreams than a playdate with her babydoll in the late afternoon light. This ruffle-bottomed little girl is a gift! I’m speechless and smiling! <3

Around the Vineyard!
Sweet summer! Ahhhh, toes in the cool, clear water… strolls on the bluff with ice cream in hand and a best friend in tow–these are my favorite parts of summer, and NOBODY does Summer like Martha and her Vineyard. Rachael and I SO enjoyed our frolic around this amazing island!
