Icepocalypse Adventure | Now Selling on Etsy!

Happy icepocalypse to my fellow southerners!  Once of my goals for the new year was to open a little shop on Etsy and sell some of my photos.  So, seeing that we were all stuck inside today, I decided to just go for it and get started on my new adventure.  This pretty little winter wonderland is up for grabs in the shop now - with and without type and in various sizes.  I will be slowly adding to the shop, but be sure to go check it out!

Snow

Before these photos get lost somewhere on my hard drive, I decided I should blog them as to always have proof that it actually snowed in Atlanta.  Still can't believe it snowed so much (for the south) and the city shut down that week.  Feels more like a dream; or a nightmare, depending on where you were.  Thankfully, we made it home safe and sound that day and got to enjoy our first snow in our new house.  The neighborhood was extra beautiful and seeing all the kids sledding down the big hills brought so much joy to my Floridian heart.  Enjoy!

By the Sea | Personal

“I spent uncounted hours sitting at the bow looking at the water and the sky, studying each wave, different from the last, seeing how it caught the light, the air, the wind; watching patterns, the sweep of it all, and letting it take me.
The sea.” 
― Gary Paulsen, Caught by the Sea

Skyline Photo Adventure | Personal

One of the many things I love about living in a big city is having a pretty skyline.  I have wanted to go on a photo adventure and capture different views of the city for a while now.  After many gray and nasty winter days, the sun finally came out a few Sundays ago and I immediately started thinking about the photos that I wanted to take.  I even convinced my sweet husband to be my side kick for the afternoon and take some new headshots for me.  We had so much fun driving around looking for the best spots to view our city.  We ended up on the historic Jackson Street Bridge just in time for the beautiful sunset.  As golden hour began, photographers of all ages ventured to the bridge and got ready to capture sunset.  It was a neat feeling to look around and see all different sorts of people trying to capture the beauty of the sunset over Atlanta.  Below are my favorite shots from our skyline photo adventure.
