an american in provence: art, life and photography - by jamie beck

We've been waiting for this to drop since March. We've pre-ordered it and we've been excitedly waiting for it ever since. Now leafing through it, it's clear it has all been worth it. Let Jamie Beck transport you to the South of France. An American in Provence is part art book, part travelogue, part memoir, and part cookbook: a collection of exquisite portrait, scenic, and still-life photography. Jamie Beck moved to the French countryside looking to slow down from her fast-paced life in New York City. What started as a one-year getaway became five as she continues to chronicle her life there through her photography, including the birth of her daughter, Eloise, all in the most breathtaking way.

The book is more than just a personal experience and more than a visual journey. Jamie shares her tips and techniques for creating incredible photos and details her transformational journey as an artist, a woman, a mother. Jamie also includes farm-to-table recipes she's learned along the way, including braised beef stew, spring chicken with herbs de Provence, fresh tagliatelle pasta with spring asparagus, and lemon meringue tart, of course.
