Now that we're home from our little vacation we are back to work full force. We have a book deadline in a few short weeks and a very long to-do list! I'm more than happy to get back into my work groove, though! I love it. Writing a photography book is one of the best things that's ever happened to my photography, now I can't stop snapping photos of anything and everything. It's become a habit and so we thought it would be fun to introduce a new little summertime feature where we share random snapshots from real life. Life is beautiful! xoxo. elsie
Ps. All of these photos were taken at my home… just random snapshots from today! Emma bought me a baby cactus a couple weeks ago. The embroidered art is vintage and the mug shot poster is from Larken on Etsy. I'm lovin' Beach House this week!:D

Nice photos!
Also, Bloom is such a great album. I’m in love! π
Amazing shots! i snapped some of my week to work on my storytelling/photography skills and tho they are far from the beauty you capture, your photos always help inspire me to get out there and find new great topics/places for our lifestyle/travel blog in Seoul.
Life is beautiful! π

Hey Elsie!
It’s an idea for your blog (when I saw your dottie iPhone it came to me)! I’m really obssesed with new music, it will be really cool if you share your playlist (maybe with an super artistic way, as you always do) !
That’s it ! Ah and I love your blog.
kisses from Switzerland!
this inspires me so much!
That little cactus is cool, i’ve got the same one from Ikea! π
LOVE beach house!! totally forgot about their new album coming out this week.. i’m off to download it!
Totally digging this fun, creative and awesome feature. Life is beautiful – – anywhere in the world as long as you know what you’re looking at and appreciate it π

Ahh, I’m loving Beach House’s new album this week too, it’s amazing!
I got to see beach house in concert last week. great show!
Seriously in love with your dog. Everytime I’m on your site at home and my husband is around, I give him puppy dog eyes and go, “Please I have one?” Heh. Our next move will be to a dog friendly rental, so *crosses fingers* maybe a trip to the local pound / shelter will be in my future.
I loved you before, but when I saw my friends’ band on your iPod, I knew I loved you more!
I have the same cactus, except he’s pink. Oh yeah, and I named him Bob, I know I’m really genius with the names here. π

Your puppy is absolutely adorable! π
