Oh, But Isn't Life Lived in the In-Between?

Oh, but isn’t life lived in the in-between? In the moments that are somewhat out of focus; in the laughs of grandmothers; in the wedding day selfies, and in the quiet moments of getting ready…?

The very first Sweet Alice Studios wedding is on the blog today! It featured the most adorable venue (Antrim Streamside) and most beautiful florals. See it all via the link in bio!

Sometimes I think we vote the way we do bc we literally don’t see the people our vote will most deeply affect. Our privilege, our citizenship, our churches, our whiteness, our neighborhoods keep us sheltered. We don’t interact with people

When I think of sweetness, I think of Aimee and Kenny, and their beautiful rustic Hudson Valley wedding day. The day flowed from important childhood spaces - their homes, their church - into a new chapter of life, their incredible marriage, together.

Beautiful things that are resistance:

Joy

Art

May we prioritize these things, knowing that when we take care of what fills our hearts, it spills out into our communities in powerful ways. 💛
