LIFE LATELY // VIA INSTAGRAM + VSCO CAM

Snaps from my iphone of the past couple weeks, mostly caffeine and work :) 

I'm off to Asheville bright and early to shoot a wedding this weekend. I'm so excited to have some time away.  Even though I'm working it's just nice to be somewhere new. Plus we're driving and I love road trips! 

See you next week. xx

INSTA-FOODIES

I guess it is kind of a funny thing to take pictures of your food before every meal.  But I can't help it each time, especially when eating out.  The tables are always different colors and textures, the serving dishes, the arrangement, sometimes pretty colors, etc.  I love looking through peoples food photos because they can be so interesting and styled to perfection. I might go a little over board on the posts, but I just enjoy playing with my food sometimes!

LATELY /// LIFE VIA INSTAGRAM & VSCO

Some snaps of July via my instagram and vsco cam:

- coffee, calligraphy, coffee, calligraphy...repeat. 

- making a few new purchases for the house, thrifted treasures and these side tables from Urban Outfitters! Finally got two matching tables that I love, big things. 

- Catching up with Cami, exploring and street styling of course. 

- Favorite summer treats; spinach berry salads, refreshers from Starbucks, and bubble ice cream

Anyone else crazy that it is July 31st? How is this happening?! 

This year is flying by, but at least it has been an exciting one.  I'm so looking forward to what the fall will hold for work, life, travels, and visiting friends, etc.  Oh, and cooler weather...it's been scorching lately!

INSTA-LIFE

*Life lately via my instagram*

I guess it looks like all I have been doing is eating sweets and shopping, but I promise that's not true! 

The clothing racks are from a couple recent shoots (wardrobes from Pink & Navy for one and The Kissing Tree Vintage for another).  And it was Hunters birthday last week so cut us some slack on the treats.  I made him pancakes for a birthday breakfast and we had ice cream...twice.  Actually once because the other is frozen yogurt.  And this is how I justify things... Anyways, I also used that pineapple for a shoot...weird but awesome, I know.  It's been quite busy lately and am just so excited about new work (including a few published things!) to come.  I realized I am currently hoarding around NINE recent photo shoots, maybe more, I lost count. I can't wait to photo bomb the crap out of my new website and blog when it's finished.  I have clearing been saving up.  Although, a couple I can't post yet anyways because they will be PUBLISHED. Whoo!! It's going to be good, I promise! 

 Stay tuned and happy wednesday!
