An autumn post in March

I haven't updated in quite a while, but it has been a rough few months for this Floridian. When I moved north to Kentucky, I never expected the winter I received- nearly 5 months of freezing temperatures. It's almost April and I'm optimistic it will only continue to get warmer from here, which means more shoots! 

Here are a few shots from the last shoot I did in November, when the temperatures were only mildly freezing. This girl was such a trooper and I look forward to working with her in the future. 

A lovely head shot of hair and makeup by me! (My first time!) I also thrifter this chair and it couldn't have worked out more perfect! I love the texture from this scene. 

       

This outfit combo was pulled from a trip I took to Anthropologie. Again, I loved the textures and the layers that we're going on here.

                                 

Isn't that bag to die for??? It actually belongs to Quinn, and her change of clothes and shoes are stuffed in there to make it look more full. :)

                                

This wall is right outside my apartment. I'd walked past it for months and I couldn't wait to photograph someone in front of it. 

                                

                                

I was afraid Quinn's red hair would look too matchy-matchy with the red brick, but I'm so pleased with the results!

                                

As always, I'd like to thank Shanna for her amazing eye and photography skills. Hope you're all out enjoying the sunshine!

It's the Kentucky Fair, Y'all!

Louisville does many things great, but the fair has to be one of them! It's the largest fair I have ever seen! We recently enjoyed our fair share of carnival rides, fried girl scout cookies, and $8 sodas.

I LOVE double dates! 

Just enough tickets for a Ferris wheel ride.

The sun was setting and the lighting was perfect! The creative director in me wanted to line everyone up and start snapping photos, but I held back and enjoyed the evening like a normal human, haha.

The Ferris wheel is something I hadnt experienced in years, and I had forgotten how high it went. As a kid it was my favorite part of the fair, but this time I was so nervous and thought I was going to be sick! 

D and I have decided to stay in Louisville for one more year, and we look forward to visiting the fair again next year! Next time, we'll totally check out the donut burger!

Before I die.

Yesterday, Derich and I decided to do some exploring around Louisville. We found delicious tacos, gorgeous antique stores, but what really caught my attention was the Before I die wall in the NuLu district. We walked up to this wall, grabbed a piece of chalk, and filled in the blank. 

After a few minutes of reading the responses on the wall, my perspective changed completely. I had written down what I wanted to do before I died, but looking at what was important to other people really moved me. How often did I think of what life was like to the person in front of me in line? Almost never. 

 I get so caught up in what kind of world I want to live in, that I forget the world that I actually live in. Seeing this wall helped remind me that we're all sharing the world. There's room for all of our dreams! If we take a minute to get out of our head and into someone else's heart, I have confidence that this world is going to be just fine.
