For the heart // From the heart
 
 

Hi. I’m Kelsey…

I am a mother first. Always. I am also a wife, a writer, an artist, and an adventurer. I am obsessed with light, both the light we see and the light we shine. I seek connection in every aspect of my life. You’ll see it in your photographs too, you’ll get to see all the beautiful details that I see. The forest for the trees. You’ll see the connection that makes this season of life so incredibly hard and so incredibly worthwhile. I want you to see the love you deserve through the love that you give.

We share a cozy little home in San Diego that is just as loud as it is tiny. Growing up, all I ever wanted was to have a small house loudly full of love and I definitely got it.

I married the absolute love of my life 10 years ago after a love story that began when we were 18. He is our hero and the only other person on earth I would want to share this beautiful chaos with.

Our babes are Daniel, Everett, Meadow Mae, and Lee. They are every ounce of the beachy, Waldorf kiddos that I envisioned when I moved to San Diego 20 years ago. Our days are mostly full of sunshine and bare feet and I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

Our new pup, Jake, joined us as our 2020 pandemic puppy and it’s just like he’s aways been a Smith. He is sweet and funny and loves playing just as much as we do.

Summers are for traveling in our little vintage Shasta trailer, Sunny, and s’mores, rock hunting, and sunsets. We love the sunshine (but you probably guessed that already).

This business is an absolute labor of love for my little family. It means that my whole family (and Jake) come on my scouting adventures. It means the dried flowers I decorate your order with may have come from my kiddos’ neighborhood walks, or our garden, or my best friend’s garden. It means if you need to borrow a dress from my client closet, it’ll be me and my kiddos (and likely Jake) coming to drop on your door.
