Summer 2020 Bucket List

Summer 2020 Bucket List

Every season – or at least every summer – I create a bucket-list of things I want to do before the season ends. You may be thinking that there is no point to doing that this summer with the Coronavirus pandemic still very much present, but I think it’s even more important now than ever! After so many months of being cooped up in the house, we all need fun activities to look forward to. We may be limited in what activities we can do, but that shouldn’t stop us! We just have to get creative 😉 Keep reading to see what’s on my summer bucket-list, and comment below what activities you are going to add to your bucket-list! Summer 2020 Bucket List Picnics – this seems to be the new brunch, since my ENTIRE Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest pages are full of picnic photoshoot pics! I have already had…

Cherry Blossom Photo Diary

Cherry Blossom Photo Diary

If you follow me on Instagram, you already read about my crazy experience at the Cherry Blossom festival a few weeks ago. If not, I will recap briefly! So what had happened was…my friend Jon and I wanted to shoot down there, but I thought it was best for us to wait until Monday or later in the week, rather than Saturday or Sunday which were the “peak bloom” days and the days that the Cherry Blossom Festival were supposed to be held. However, Jon had the foresight to predict that it would get shut down after the weekend, and since he had a shoot on Sunday (that got cancelled lol), we decided it was Saturday or never! As you can imagine, when we got down there it was HELLAAAA people everywhere!! We did our best to avoid the crowds and get our shots, but it was a struggle! You…

Palm Beach Recap (and Tips for Dealing with Crappy Weather on Vacation!)

Palm Beach Recap (and Tips for Dealing with Crappy Weather on Vacation!)

I spent last week in Palm Beach for what was SUPPOSED to be a nice relaxing little trip away from the cold, but quickly went south when I realized I was only going to have one day of sun! Keep reading to see how I stayed sane and kept busy while it rained all week… Day 1: I am so glad I booked an early flight on my first day, because I found out right before I left that it would be the ONLY day of sun, and I definitely wanted to take advantage. I also felt like for such a short trip, it would have been a waste to get there later in the day regardless of the weather. I landed in Palm Beach at 9:30am, ELATED to be standing outside in a tshirt and biker shorts! I got to my AirBnb quickly, and was able to go straight…

Magical Adventures in Shenandoah

Magical Adventures in Shenandoah

I finally made it to Shenandoah National Park yesterday, and it was nothing short of amazing! I have been wanting to go since I moved home – even before I added it to my fall bucket list last year – and it just so happened that the day I went was not only a gorgeous day, but the “peak” day for fall foliage! Keep scrolling to see some of my favorite pics from my trip… Thanks for following on my adventure! Let me know if you have been to Shenandoah before or planning on going this fall before it gets too cold 💕
