The Little [New] Things

Sometimes, it's the "little things"in life that can perk up your day. In this case, getting some new [reading] glasses did that for me. I know, they're only reading glasses. I haven't had glasses of any kind since I was 7 though, so these were a nice change of pace for me! [Just to clarify: I actually do need them; they're not for looks. ;)]

I've never been great about self-portraits, but my new little glasses inspired me to take a few! They were completely informal and spur-the-moment, but I like the way some of them came out!

Morning Light

But blessed was the daylight that

Flooded my heart's windows, and

Cleared the smoke that billows out

It was well worth waking up at 5:30am to appreciate the beauty, stillness, and light that only comes from the morning. There's nothing like it, and it's amazing how evident God's creation is within those quiet times. 

Spring.12

Out with the family for a stroll during golden hour. It's amazing when lighting, nature, and creativity work together.

Spring/Summer Playlist

These are some tunes that have been inspiring me, helping me focus, or distracting me with their catchiness lately. I'm kind of OCD when it comes to what's playing while I'm editing in particular, but these songs made the list. :) This is just a fun, somewhat eclectic mix of "spring/summer" (we're kind of in-between seasons right now) music. Hope you enjoy it!

Color // Seafoam Green

I must confess, I am addicted to seafoam green right now. Although I tend to be a little blasé with my wardrobe colors (gray, black, tan, white, neutrals), this bold pop has done wonders for me. Now my closet mainly consists of this color, and of course, black, gray, tan, etc. ;) I may or may not have bought several clothing items in this color recently...but what can I say, this shade is subtle, but SO fun. I'm hoping to do a photo series soon incorporating this color! Stay tuned... :)
