Magnolia Photography | Indian Creek Farm
In the Spring of 2021, we headed to Indian Creek Farm to shoot on location with our kids. It had been a long winter during the pandemic, and my wife felt a desire to shoot again. The light she captured at this shoot was breathtaking, and it inspired her to open another portrait studio in Upstate New York. Since I was learning to pilot drones, I decided to grab some footage of my family in the orchard during the shoot. Holly was truly in her element here, and it was amazing to watch her work! I will cherish the images she captured of our kids that day for years to come.

Hario Dome Hand Coffee Grinder
A French Press has long been my go to brew method for coffee, but I’ve always used pre-ground beans. I’ve wanted to try grinding fresh roasted beans at home for a couple years now, and yesterday I decided to order my first grinder. After researching a bit, I learned enough to know conical ceramic burr grinders were preferred over blade grinders or steel burr grinders because they result in more consistent sized grinds and manage heat during the grinding process. Hario is a brand I’m familiar with from ducking into the occasional proper coffee cafe, and I wanted a grinder that I could hand crank. Since my press has wood accents, I opted for a grinder to compliment it. The Hario Dome Hand Grinder fit the bill and has been a pleasure to use this week. The hopper is simple enough to load a small batch of beans in, and the mechanical nature of the burr grinder size adjustment is simple and reliable. The Hario Dome can store 35 grams of ground coffee and travels very well! And it makes a delicious cup of coffee!
