snow day, snow day

Well, not really. What was supposed to be six inches of powdery, fluffy white snow fell as two inches of disgusting ice and sleet. And, unfortunately, the stellar views of downtown Nashville we have from our little townhouse come at a cost--we live at the very top of a very steep hill, and there's currently no getting up or down it. So, we're stuck. Thankfully, work and class were cancelled for me. I made Johanna walk around the neighborhood with me, because I was about to go stir-crazy. There's only so much crafting and Netflix watching one can do.

And now, I'm craving pizza, which I don't have and can't get. So, I guess it's pasta again for dinner. Do keep Nashville in your thoughts and prayers. We aren't used to this kind of weather, and many people are without power. We've been lucky here at my house so far!

Keri | College Senior

 

I can't tell you how awesome this girl is. She was my suitemate my first senior year of college, and she pretty much kept me sane through our British Romantic Lit class. I am so happy with how Keri's senior pictures turned out! It was the perfect day--surprisingly warm and sunny for February. We grabbed lunch at McAllister's (our fave!) then headed out to take pictures. Keri really wanted a spot with a barn, and we actually managed to find one. (Despite what country songs might tell you, there are, in fact, not many barns in Nashville.)

Love you, Ker, and I hope you love your photos!

Derreck + Emily | Engagement

 

In this week's installment of pictures-I-took-and-forgot-to-share we have Derreck and Emily! These are two of the kindest souls I know. We had so much fun taking these pictures, even though it was a weird snowy-but-sunny Nashville morning.We took a few pictures on campus, then walked around Hillsboro Village and went to the dragon park. All of this was, of course, followed by chili dogs from Cori's Dog House. Priorities, people! Anyway, I'm so excited for the journey these two are embarking on together!

Maddie | College Senior

 

So, it's funny. I blogged constantly when my little photog biz was pretty small and slow...but now that I've steadily had shoots over the past few months, I've just completely stopped blogging. So I'm going to try to get you all caught up on what I've been doing in the photography world. 

This was such a fun shoot! The weather was absolutely perfect! Maddie might be one of the most photogenic people I know.

Be looking for more posts over the next few days!

winter trees

 

Truly, there's nothing I love more than a hike through the winter woods.

we're going to the country!

 

You're probably like "who is this person that's posting this blog post?" And I'm like "listen, I've only been gone for fourth months and my hair is not that different." Ha. Oops. Didn't mean to be gone for so long, so for my triumphant return, here are my college senior pictures, because apparently that's a thing we have to do now in addition to all of those other somewhat arbitrary graduation requirements. (Well, not really. They would've let me graduate but I wouldn't have gotten to see my bright, cheery face in the yearbook, and after these five years of college I think I deserve at least that.)

Anyway. My sister snapped these for me at our family's cabin while we were in Missouri last weekend for Thanksgiving. (Gracias, sister.) In the process, I learned just how awkward I am in front of a camera, which is odd considering how many selfies I take on, like, a daily basis. 

So back to graduation. All that stands between me and that shiny, new B.A. in English is three credit hours of Spanish. (The class which I have so lovingly been referring to as the bane of my existence.) In a moment of utter insanity today, I registered for the Spanish CLEP, which takes place next Wednesday. If I pass it, I get out of that final, grueling semester of college. (Regardless of what happens, I walk across that creaky stage in May.)

So, basically, that's what's up.
