A Little Christmas Magic, a Camera, and the Memories That Started It All
Some of my favorite Christmas memories began with a surprise visit from Santa, who we later discovered was my uncle! Those childhood traditions, along with my lifelong love of photography, inspired Christmas at the Tolleth House. Join me as I share the story behind our new private Santa experiences, where a historic Victorian home, timeless photography, and a little Christmas magic come together to create memories families can treasure for years.
The Day Everything Changed: My Dad, Our Dream, and the Foundation We Built
Five years ago, my dad and I were in the middle of restoring the Tolleth Home when we received the diagnosis that changed everything: ALS. The Day Everything Changed is a tribute to the months we spent side by side, building a dream neither of us knew he’d get to see completed. It’s a story of love, legacy, and the quiet strength of a father who laid the foundation. Not just for a venue, but for the life I’m still building today.
