A Golden Hour Birthday Stroll

Hello friends!

I’m now 23 years old! For my birthday on Monday, Sully and I went for a walk and then went out to eat at one of my favorite restaurants. It was great, except for the part where I got mild food poisoning or something. Yikes. Anyway, during our golden hour stroll I got some lovely pictures with my aunt’s camera. She’s letting me borrow her old D600 so I can practice for second-shooting a wedding with her in June.

Enjoy this beautiful birthday walk!

Spring Fling 2023 {Event Photography}

Hello friends!

Our family friends the Borns love to host big events and parties at their farm. Recently they put on their famous “Spring Fling” which includes a family obstacle course, crosscut-sawing and doughnut-eating contests, a cupcake-baking competition, barn dancing, and more. I was the “lead photographer” for the event and had so much fun wandering around capturing pictures of laughter, cute kids, and pretty scenery.

Scroll through this post if you need a smile. 🙂

Double Exposure Portrait Photography

Hello friends!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you might remember my previous experiments with double-exposure photography here. Double exposure refers to the concept of taking two pictures and merging them. It’s often done for portraits especially, to tell a story or just add an artistic flare.

I’ve been meaning to try it again ever since the aforementioned post and I finally got around to making some more creative portraits. Enjoy some artistic (or maybe just weird) photography experimentation! 🙂

Golden Hour Spring Photoshoot + Q&A!

Hello friends!

I am super excited for this post: a breathtaking golden hour photoshoot plus a Q&A! I wandered the farm with my camera after I finished hay work a couple days ago and found So. Much. Beauty. The photos reminded me of a similar post I made before I got married.

Several of you guys have requested more marriage-themed posts or a Q&A, so I thought now would be a fitting time to collect questions from you guys. Sully and I will  answer them on our upcoming one-year anniversary on May 22. Enjoy some lush golden green and ask your questions in the comments!

A Visit to Aria’s {Ft. Ducklings!}

Hello friends!

Happy Good Friday and almost-Easter! I don’t have any deep Easter posts for you this year, just cute springy duckling pictures. Last week Sully and I finally got to visit Aria (my matron-of-honor at my wedding, remember?) and her husband Andrew. It was a 14 hour drive, thus why I hadn’t made it before on my own. But we had a grand adventure of car camping, “icecuum,” fuzzy baby birds, and a photoshoot. Enjoy this small travel journal!
