An Afternoon in Decatur

We may as well declare it a national holiday. I finally convinced my roommate to let me take pictures of her. "We've only lived together for a year... it's about time I let you take my picture," she said. Yeah. You think?!

Carolyn and I like going on adventures around Atlanta and discovering new places, and so we could kill two birds with one stone, we set off for Decatur. We'd been once or twice but not for long, and we didn't get to explore as much as we would have liked to. So that's what this day was for!

Naturally, we stopped to get something from a bakery, because we've both got an insatiable sweet tooth. And from our experience, we highly recommend anything from Cakes & Ale's bake shop. We got a homemade oatmeal cream pie, and even though the pictures make it look like Carolyn ate it all, she basically only had one bite. 

Just FYI, in the photos where Carolyn is smiling, it's probably because she's laughing at me, or at herself. I love you Carolyn!!

Cancun

The way I like to vacation is with people I love, where no one can contact me, except via smoke signal, and even then, I'd be too far away to see. No cell signal and too-expensive-and-slow-to-use wifi is utter perfection to me.

This was a week for me to reconnect with my thoughts, uninterrupted by schedule and the repetition of every day life. It was a week for me to set intention for the near future. 

I was blessed to go on this adventure with Justin, and I can't wait to slowly but surely conquer the world with my camera and people that make my world complete. Here are my favorite snapshots from Cancun.

Double vision

In an effort to get more pretty prints on my walls in my apartment, I've been exploring double exposure edits with some of my shots. Slightly haunting and eery. Nonetheless, still beautiful. 

If you'd like to order some prints or request a custom photo edit, contact me!

My best friend and photo muse, Morgan, reminded me that about a year ago I made this mix for her. So I'm sharing it with you all! Happy summer.
