I hope everyone is safe and well! I know this is a really really tough time. I am thinking of all of you and missing being a photo ninja behind the camera. But fear not, this will pass and we'll all be on our feet soon again- perhaps a little gentler and more compassionate than we were before, hopefully never taking for granted being around people again. We'll work this out, resume having weddings and birthdays and life celebrations. One step at a time. For now, it's SO imp...ortant to continue with our social distancing and staying up to date on the latest recommendations. Let's tell Covid to go kick rocks once and for all. I want to thank all of you for being so flexible with your dates and rescheduling!! And if you're a nurse/doctor/lab tech/cashier/trash collector/deliveryman or woman/anyone who is risking their life to keep the rest of us going, I'm sending you a million hugs, YOU'RE AMAZING! Much love to everyone, stay safe, and I'll see you soon my friends! See more

Do yourself a favor and check out #cakelifebakeshop in Fishtown Had me a slice of their honey lavender cake and flipped through this book of their wedding cakes. STUNNING work!

Let me say this clearly and unequivocally #blacklivesmatter I spent last week on my bike going to peaceful protests, educating myself, and having conversations about racism, police brutality, and white privilege. 2020 came in like a hurricane, tearing things down. And it formed the perfect storm pushing us towards much needed change, as painful as it’s been. I’m going to embrace this chaotic year and work to make sure my life stays aligned with my values, both in my bu...siness and personally. I will continue to listen, read, discuss, donate, participate, stay active. I’m happy to see so many people come together across the globe and stand up

#tbt to two months ago with Hillary Messman in all of her about-to-be-a-mamma glory, and dad-to-be Travis Messman Their little peanut is about to make an appearance any day now!

Daily cuddle sessions in our kitchen make everything ok

Hello This my face and today I begin my new journey as a 32 year old Maria

Meet Ruth Ruth turned 100! She dances, eats cake, and knows what’s important in life-family, friends, and a good time

Holy #cakegoals This is exactly the type of cake I’d like to have on my 100th birthday too! But this is not my cake. This is Ruth’s cake

Trying to conquer this Monday as gracefully as this amazing lady

Meet Perry and Joseph Perry and Joseph are completely in love and super sweet. They know how to have fun together and how to throw a badass wedding, filled with belly dancing and genuine laughter in every corner of the ballroom. Congrats, Perry and Joseph!

I can hear the wind when I look at this photo of Francesca and Andrew. The elements are your friends
