new page

I've replaced my "About LBR" page with a "New Reader" page, which I think is also a great resource for current readers! I'm constantly looking for ways to make my blog more reader-friendly, and at the same time check in with myself about what I'm doing with this blog. I thought adding a page that would give my readers a quick snapshot of what I do, along with some suggested reading, would be the perfect change. 


Below is the new page, which you can also visit by clicking the link at the top of the page…..




Hello there! I’m Lola! I’m a 31-year old artist and mama-to-be, living in the Northern Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. I am primarily a photographer and writer, but have dabbled in just about every art form there is throughout my life. I cannot live (sanely) without creating and expressing. I am committed to living an artistic life, an authentic life, the only life that feels right for me…. and I blog about that journey here.

This blog is evolving. In the past year, my life has changed in every way imaginable: from city to the isolated mountains, single to married, apartment renter to home owner, childless to expecting. It would be unnatural for me to leave any of that out so I’m being flexible with my blog as I watch it grow into something new.

Why bohemian?

I’ve been called a hippie for half my life, but I think bohemian is a better term. Bohemians practice unconventional lifestyles, they are adventurers or vagabonds, they are artists, writers, musicians, actors, they believe in peace and love. “Bohemian” is one word that nicely wraps up so much of who I am into a neat little package.

What do you blog about?

Some of my favorite things to blog about are photography, painting, healing, life struggles, inspiration, and pregnancy. I also regularly promote other artists and Etsy shop owners, mostly by integrating their artwork or products into pieces I’ve written on a related topic.

foliage remix

I've obviously got fall on the mind this week! Yesterday I posted some beautiful fall prints from Etsy and today, while I anxiously wait for all the leaves to change color so I can get out there and snap some new pics, I'll share some of my seasonal photos from falls past….

missing colorado

I was supposed to leave for Colorado today to join my husband's family for a reunion out in Denver….but, sadly I had to back out of the trip since I'm still not feeling well. Sigh. Such a bummer, because I was really looking forward to spending some time out west, revisiting the place that felt like it was made for me when I first visited 3 years ago. Instead, I will revisit some photos from that trip….

a stroll in the country


My husband and I were bored yesterday so we decided to take a drive out to our hometown in the country. We took a nice stroll down memory lane and then stopped to see the animals on the University of Connecticut campus. I've always found horses to be such beautiful, magical creatures so we spent most of our time with them….

adirondack canoeing


Last week we enjoyed the wilderness of the Adirondack mountains with an incredibly peaceful camping trip. We went back to the same spot we camped in last summer, about a half hour from Lake Placid. Last year's highlight was hiking the most vertical, intense mountain I've ever climbed, but this year's highlight was definitely the canoeing. 














We really enjoyed exploring this uninhabited island where we ate lunch and lazed around in the complete silence.


This pretty much sums it up.
