This is a “Welcome back to Images of Cape Cod”.
For those of you who do not know me… my name is Sally Faith Steinmann. I am a custom ladies’ milliner located on Cape Cod. Since 1998 I have been creating one-of-a-kind chapeaux for ladies attending the Kentucky Derby, weddings, Royal Ascot and fancy teas.
I started this “Images of Cape Cod” blog years ago because I wanted to share a new passion, wildlife photography. Out with the wild ones, I discovered a kind of sanctuary; a place apart that rejuvenated and inspired me.
These experiences began to inform my work as a milliner, as a fabric artist as well. I watched my color palette shift and expand as I found myself in awe of the “truest art” in the natural world surrounding me. I began to sketch new hat designs, inspired by the birds, the coyotes, the foxes that I met. I longed to find a way to bring some of the magic and the beauty that I witnessed out there in the wild into the studio. To see where it might lead….
Unfortunately due to my Mom’s illness over the past few years, I had to back away from blogging as my caregiving schedule became overwhelming.
During the years that passed, however, I never stopped taking photos. In fact if anything my passion for wildlife photography only grew. Today, it is as essential, as central in my life as the work that I do making hats.
Mom passed in October, 2022, and this New Year’s I decided that it was time for me to share the photography part of my life again.
I look forward to being back here doing my blog again very soon, writing and sharing more of the wonders of Cape Cod through my tiny lens. I live in a place of such incredible beauty, and I miss sharing it here.
In the meantime, please enjoy a few of the amazing moments I have had visiting the wild ones in the past year or so….
Be well,
Sally
