Lifestyle: Slow living at the Porter & Ives studio

This sweet lifestyle shoot by BONNIE SEN shows a day in the life at the PORTER & IVES house & studio. Doesn’t this look utterly idyllic? It’s my dream to be honest! Owner Beth Trenti says, “I’m up at dawn, caring for the chickens and collecting fresh eggs. Living humbly off the land and the little pleasures of life“. The gorgeous model Flavia added to the shoot by sharing her recipe for the Polenta cake in the photos (super simple recipe included below).
