I have a new photography + blog crush. Her name is Kristi (also known as life through the lens).
Her work makes my heart sing. I love the soft, vintage tones of her images and I love the sentiment behind her photos – each one carries a beautiful message. Every time I visit Kristi’s flickr photostream I walk away feeling serene and uplifted – so nourishing for my soul. And then I want to go declutter and clean because I want my house to look as beautiful as her photos.
visit Kristi’s flickr stream to see more of her work
Kristi also has lovely DIY tutorials on her blog.
