I mentioned earlier this week that I would be sharing sneak peeks at some of the gorgeous content we’ve been working on for Creatively Made Home. Well today I wanted to highlight Kimberly Taylor and the amazing things she’ll be sharing with the students of our e-course.

Allow me to introduce Kimberly Taylor….

Kimberly is an amazing photographer and creative woman living on a few acres of land just outside Seattle. Her home, style, and photography skills are impeccable and even more amazing – she is completely humble and down to earth. I met Kimberly a few years ago at the Farm Chicks show (one of the few times in my life that I forced myself to fly, as I HATE flying!) and I instantly felt a connection with her. I had very seldom met any of my blogging friends in person and  a few of them made a lasting impression on me that motivated me to reach out and try to build a more substantial friendship. And Kimberly was one of them.

Making new friends and (gulp) even being social doesn’t come that easily to me – at least not when it comes to in-person friendships (which obviously are a bit more normal than “blogging” friends). It may be strange but I find it so much easier to share somewhat anonymously from my computer with total strangers than to open up and socialize in person. My insecurities and anxiety seem to overwhelm me at times and I won’t even attempt to venture out even when I really want to. Anyway, this is supposed to be about Kimberly….

Kimberly is easy to talk to, open and honest, and incredibly inspirational. She traveled a few years ago to India (by herself!) for her birthday to explore, learn and photograph her adventures. I followed along on her journey through the images she posted on facebook and was just in awe that she could be so adventurous and brave. She travels frequently and shoots editorial content for several magazines (Souvenir included) and her life at home is equally inspiring.

She uses her land to live like most of us dream to… with chickens and farm fresh eggs, horses, and poppy fields…

She harvests lavender… and hangs her clothes on a line to dry….

She makes her own yogurts and jams and uses ingredients from her land to cook for her family….

Her husband also throws pottery and creates beautiful pieces that Kimberly uses in her stunning food photography and home.

These are just a few of the things that this Creatively Made Home e-course is about. It’s so much more than a home decorating course. It’s more about sharing these amazing lifestyles with you in the most personal way we know how. Through video and images and a live forum where the students can gather and inspire one another. It’s sort of like an online magazine but with video in addition to amazing photography.

I hope this inspires some of you as much as it does me. The course begins October 22nd, so it’s starting in just 17 more days – that’s little more than two weeks away! So don’t delay and register now! You can use the PayPal button in my sidebar or click here: Creatively Made Home

I so hope you will join us!
