A tartine is a classic French open-faced sandwich that is toasted and piled high with delectable toppings. Personally, tartines are one of my favorite weekday lunches and can be pulled together quickly with whatever seasonal produce you have in your refrigerator.

The perfect balance of flavors – this salad would make for a visually appealing Thanksgiving side to compliment the traditionally rich and carbohydrate-laden holiday spread. Also, […]

My work is luminous, poetic, elegant, and above all, intentional. It will be my deepest honor to guide you through the wedding planning process, to help you create unforgettable moments and experiences, and, ultimately, to craft images where time stands still.

I'm Molly - an international wedding photographer eternally devoted to capturing the beauty of your union.
