OH. MY. WORD. 🤯🎡📸 Guess what?!?! I got that email today—the one I’ve been refreshing my inbox for like a crazy person for the last few weeks. And y’all… I was accepted to photograph the Florida State Fair for the Spirit of the Fair contest! The fair runs February 5th–16th, and here’s how it works: I get one free day of admission to […]
I Checked the Stats Twice… and Then Again
I know I already posted once today…but y’all… can we just take a second because WHAT IN THE SWEET TEA JUST HAPPENED?! I had over 1,700 visitors on my site last week.ONE. THOUSAND. SEVEN. HUNDRED. I checked the numbers once.Then I checked again.Then I squinted at the screen like it owed me money. And nope — it […]
Well… I think Mother Nature is drunk. Or high. Or just plain confused.
I made the wondrous move to Florida for a reason, y’all. I hate the cold. I want 80 degrees and sunshine every single day. Flip-flops, iced coffee, and zero thoughts about coats or gloves. That was the deal. But I am starting to think Kentucky’s weather jumped in our trunk and moved down here with us. Now listen—I […]
January in the Ocean, Kentucky in the Wind
Welp, guys… my weekend was so exciting that I skipped both Saturday and Sunday—ha! It was fun while it lasted. I honestly knew I’d never make it 365 days in a row, but oh well… no regrets here. We had a great weekend. January 10th was spent in the ocean. Yes. The ocean. In January. Can y’all believe that? It […]
Published Is Published (And I’m Not Calm About It)
Got my new prime lens last night—a 50mm—and let me tell you, I’ve been shooting everything in my line of sight for the last 12 hours. If it stood still long enough, it became a photo. I am officially obsessed. I cannot wait to get out this weekend and really put it to work. So here’s the […]
Betty Crocker Is Back
Well… kind of. I liked those Grinch cookies so much that I decided to make another batch. Since Christmas is officially over, I mixed pink and green together and went for these smashed, swirly-looking cookies. Very artsy. Very intentional. Definitely looks like I know what I’m doing over here. Three dozen cookies — check.We will […]
Lazy Sunday | Day 4 Check
Lazy Sunday over here, and happy third day in a row of hearing from yours truly. Who even am I right now? This is going to be so short, cause I don’t know what to write about! I really gotta get my brain going if I am going to keep this up! Today was all […]
Day 3 Check-In: A Photo Chosen & Little Moments That Matter
I officially made my choice today for the Zephyrhills photo contest — and honestly, that part felt really good. Not rushed. Not forced. Just one of those okay, this is the one moments. We spent a little more time out exploring today too, just wandering and looking at things a little slower. That’s the part […]
My First Photo Contest (and Day 2 of Not Missing a Post… Barely)
So here we go… I’m about to enter my first photo contest.Nothing huge or intimidating—just a small local contest in a neighboring town, Zephyrhills. But still. A contest is a contest, and this feels like one of those “just do the thing already” moments. This afternoon, we spent a couple of hours wandering around town with the camera, just […]
Happy New Year!
I know I have been MIA again, and I am sorry. Truly. But we ended up having to do a quick, last-minute emergency move because mold was found in our condo. Not cool at all, I will tell you that. Michael, myself, and the two boys had to do everything ourselves, and somehow we managed […]
