Fall, Baby

As an ex-coffee drinker, I no longer get excited about the oh-so-popular Pumpkin Spice Latte making its grand reentrance this fall. Instead, the photographer in me is excited about gorgeous backdrops. The writer/reader in me can’t wait for the chilly weather excuse to stay inside all weekend curled up with my laptop and a book.…

Weekend Recap

This weekend was exactly what I needed after my tear-filled Friday. I slept until almost 1pm on Saturday, ate BBQ, visited the in-laws, went hiking, did a family/maternity photo shoot, went wedding suit shopping with Isaac, and we booked our Honeymoon! Here are a few pictures from the over 400 that I took this weekend.

Weekly Photo Challenge: BIG

Seabrook Island, South Carolina A small island with some big, gorgeous trees! I was so happy Isaac snapped this picture of me under one of my favorite trees, I love the perspective. Not sure what type of tree it is, anybody know? I adore its curly branches.  weekly photo challenge: Big

Family Animal Booklet

My two younger sisters are on their college breaks right now so they are at home with our parents doing normal college kid summer break stuff. Well, I take that back. Normal college kid break stuff is drinking, tanning, and short meaningless relationships with cute surfer boys. My sisters, on the other hand, woke up…

Weekly Photo Challenge: SUN

Challenge: Sun. We’ve done sunset before, but what about when the sun, in its full glory, is the feature of your photo? This is a photograph that I took for my friends, Kim and Brandon. I love a good sunburst shot, and I wanted this one to emphasize the baby she was carrying. I like how…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Journey

Okay so the weekly photo challenge was posted last Friday, I’m a bit late. It was a busy weekend full of family, food, exercise, and relaxation. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!  Here is a picture from my recent beach trip that says “journey” to me. It just so happens to be four of…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Through

Challenge: Through. Often framing your photo’s composition through something else is the best thing you could do to it. It gives the viewer even more context into what your eye saw in that moment in time. Sometimes it modifies the entire tone or meaning of the photo. Share a picture that means THROUGH to you! The two…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual

This past Tuesday Isaac and I went to the inlet on Topsail Island. We spent about 2 hours walking around the empty beach; he skipping rocks and me photographing the wildlife. My favorite part was stumbling upon hundreds of crabs digging in the sand!! It was amazing. The beach was so quiet that you could…
