My name is Anya. I’m a writer, wife, first-time pregnant mom, sister, photographer, Colorado native, small business owner, voracious reader, lover of coffee, and advocate for all things beautiful and life-giving. This blog is a bit of an extension of my professional work while also being distinct and free-flowing and entirely at the mercy of my creative whims. So thank you for being here, dear readers, and hold on to your hats! (And if you’re not wearing a hat — get one! I’ll wait…)
