I can only watch scary movies through my fingers. If a preview for a horror movie comes on TV, I pretend to be looking at something on my phone until it's over.

I prefer to eat dessert before dinner. So much so, that I've been known to go to a restaurant and order just from the dessert menu. We all know it's the best part of the meal!

Sometimes I choose ugly colors at the nail salon because no one ever picks them and I don’t want their feelings to be hurt.

To this day I still don’t know if I was named after Rose the flower or Rose my great-grandmother. My parents each swear I was named after one or the other.

I have what some may call, an unhealthy obsession with throw pillows. My husband says I'm not allowed to buy anymore. The throw pillow scene from Along Came Polly gives me major anxiety!

A FEW OF my
FAVORITE THINGS
get to know me
When I'm not behind a camera
You can usually find me on a snowboard, watching HGTV and True Crime shows, or baking cookies. My ideal Friday night is watching Netflix on the couch with my husband and two cats. My love languages are dessert, Frye boots, and Harry Potter.

I think Julia Child said it best, "A party without cake is just a meeting." Whether it's making it, baking it, or decorating it, I'll have my cake and eat it too!

Cat lady alert! I have two rescue cats, Fat Cat & Jello, that I talk to in a really annoying voice. My wardrobe is covered in cat hair, which I'm convinced will be the new fashion trend any year now, and I am always woken up way earlier than I'd like, but I couldn't be any happier.

CHAMPAGNE BRUNCHES ON THE WEEKENDS
I brunch hard. Like if I had to only pick one meal to have for the rest of my life, it would be brunch. If I'm calling you on a Sunday, it's because I want to brunch and you are my chosen accomplice. Brunch, the only socially acceptable reason to drink before noon.
Sorry Vegans, close your eyes. There may be nothing I love more in the world, than the smell of fresh leather. Opening a box of brand new Frye boots or a gorgeous new leather handbag, and I absolutely melt in pure unadulterated bliss.

I know I'm supposed to be partial to roses because, obvs., but peonies are actually my favorite flower. They make me swoon. I could spend all afternoon smelling them and photographing their beauty for all to see.
