Spooky Salem

I felt the leaves crunching under my feet, crisp like the afternoon breeze on my face. Above me were gangly branches, some still outfitted with brilliant oranges and reds. Calm and appreciation washed over me. I felt rejuvenated and empowered. If you have been following my Instagram at all, you know that I was in the Boston area last weekend visiting friends and family.

More Mountains – Land of the Sky

Boone, NC || 11 Oct 2016 I was fortunate enough to have both Sunday and Monday off from work this week, so I took the opportunity to embark on another short journey out west. I ended up in Boone, NC yet again. I love the small-town feel, I love the mountains, and I love the chill in the air. My sister and brother-in-law were

North Carolina Museum of Art

Raleigh || 2 October 2016 October has begun and I could not be more excited about it! Any day now I will be enjoying the crisp air, changing leaves, and not sweating through my shirts even day. I have even started decorating for Halloween– my golden skull candle is displaying itself proudly on my desk (as if it hasn’t been there all year) ((it

Beloved Boone

Boone, NC || 7 September 2016 After following her for almost a mile, the forest opened up to a grassy field. I was speechless. I had the opportunity to visit a few college friends in the mountains over Labor Day weekend. We shopped around in downtown and went hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Boone is the home of Appalachian State University, known most

Endless Film

Sadly not Boston || 22 August 2016 I am finally settled into my new town! while sorting through all o fly wares, I found some undeveloped film from my last month or so in Boston. I got it developed at a local printmaking shop and am super pleased with the results. As I have mentioned before, both in previous blog posts and on my

Final Boston Projects

Not Massachusetts || 11 August 2016 Last week was a big one for me! I left my 9-5 in Boston along with lots of friends and loved ones in pursuit of my undergraduate degree in my hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina. It was a huge step for me– I have networked and grown as a photographer in the Bay State, but something deep inside

Wednesday Addams

Breakheart Reservation || 1 June 2016 A few friends and I had a magical, witchy photo shoot with our colleague from work. It was my first time work with smoke bombs, and I have to say it was a lot of fun. My buddy Leighanne also brought some vintage lens filters, like a super ’70s kaleidoscope and a red donut.

Brianna

Beacon Hill || 13 June 2016 Spring has quickly transitioned into summer weather here in Boston. Although I need to wear pants some days, everyone here is definitely in the summer mentality– walking much more often, taking day trips to the beach, sitting outside to read, and soaking up sun in community spaces. This is one of my favorite times of year– people are

Film Frenzy, Pt II

Boston, MA || 5 May 2016 I took my last day off from my 9-5 to visit New England School of Photography. While there, I developed some old rolls of film and made a few prints of my favorite exposures. I also took the last hour to scan some of me favorite negatives. I love film so much. As I’ve written before, I love

Film Frenzy

Stratford || 17 April 2016 I just got back from Hunt’s with my developed film from my last group outing. It’s so good to shoot analogue from time to time. I find that I take more care in composing the shot and that I appreciate getting the final product a lot more in the end. Most of these photos are from a recent excursion
