Portraits, 001

"A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.” - Edward Steichen

I really love photographing people. It's not that landscapes and other various inanimate objects aren't interesting to me, it's just that nothing pulls my heart strings quite like the sentiment of immortalizing a moment. As human beings, we are capable of such an astonishing range of emotions and once we're felt one, we can never feel exactly the same way ever again. A properly-executed portrait captures that fleeting moment and keeps it for eternity. Photographs reveal so much about the subject and the photographer. I've gotten to know my friends so much better through my 30mm lens.

Lady Date in Nashville: What We Wore

A lot has changed since our last photographed lady date in New York this past February. Instead of freezing our booties off, we were soaking up the warm, humid Tennessee sunshine. If we look a little tired in these photos, it's because we were. Twelve hours of driving is a lot! We were up by 7AM every morning and in bed before 9:30 every night. Wild and crazy twenty-something behavior, am I right? We even made a Lowe's trip. (Wait-- that's not normal?)

Nashville Snapshots

Took a sort of "unintentional hiatus" from blogging this past week. Whoops! I'm not too sorry about it though because it just means that we had more fun than we planned in Nashville. Hanging out with old friends, blazing new trails, and falling in love with the city and the people in it. We even went to a hockey game! I can't wait to share more, and I also can't wait to go back.

xo,

p.s. if you're planning a trip to Nashville any time soon, do yourself a favor and visit some of our favorite places: Sky Blue Café, The Pancake Pantry, Burger Up, Las Paletas, Silly Goose, and Jeni's.
