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!

A Frosty Nature Photoshoot

Hello friends!

This January has been unseasonably warm so I haven’t seen snow yet, but we have gotten a few morning frosts. I actually took these photos last month and have been waiting to share them. I had a lot of fun wandering around my parent’s farm and spotting little gems just waiting to be captured by a camera.

Enjoy this pretty, chilly photoshoot!

Hunting for Fall Foliage

Hello friends!

The autumn leaves this year are more stunningly colorful than I ever remember seeing them. I so wish I could completely capture the beauty in photos for you, but the best I can do is share the few pictures I have from several weeks ago at my family’s farm. I hope these colors brighten your day and inspire you to find loveliness wherever you live too. 🙂

Late Summer Flower Garden Photoshoot

Hello friends!

My mom’s flower garden is stunning and lush right now. I finally brought my camera to take pictures of it the other day… and then realized it was out of battery. 😦 I so wanted to take photos that I went ahead and used my phone instead. It was a fun challenge with surprisingly pretty results!

Enjoy one last luxurious abundance of colorful blooms before fall sets in. ❤

Photographing My Yard

Hello friends!

I don’t have quite the same photo opportunities now that I live in the town rather than on a farm – no fields surrounding my house or woods and creeks to explore nearby. But if you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m a firm believer that you can find beauty anywhere. So the other day I decided to take some pictures in my little yard after a rain shower to see if I could capture some pretty nature in our corner of the neighborhood.

Enjoy these peaceful pictures!

In Which I Attempt to Take Pretty Pictures of Dead Weeds

Hello friends!

You know how winter is so brown and gray and dead-looking that it gets kinda sad after a while? Well, I decided to challenge myself to find beauty in that by photographing a bunch of dried weeds, hehe. It was honestly fascinating to notice the structure and form of old growth – the bones holding up last year’s color, as it were.

This was a fun experiment and I hope you guys enjoy the result!

A Sunny Winter Walk in the Woods

Hello, friends!

Today I want to take you on a virtual walk through the forest with me. ❤ I found so many odd trees, lovely ferns, and pretty creeks on my little hike the other day. I haven’t traipsed around our farm like this by myself for quite a while, so it was really fun and refreshing to soak in a warm February day and take photos of the interesting bits of nature I discovered.

Enjoy this sunny winter photoshoot!
