Happy Monday, friends! It’s the first Monday of December and I am SO in the holiday spirit! I think the Scottish Christmas Walk in Alexandria, VA, got me in the Christmas-y mood! I want to do all the things, celebrate with all the people, and bask in the glow of the lights on my lil’ […]

A super fun part of my job is choosing where to take photos for people. And the best part of that fun is when I get to play tourist like I did this past weekend. Getting to do what I love for a job is certainly not something I take for granted; I’m grateful every […]

It’s Monday! I say that every Monday as if it’s a celebration haha But it kind of is a celebration when you’re passionate about your work and excited for what’s in store for the week! I had a pretty great weekend, aside from experiencing the beginning stages of a summer cold. I did some location […]

I usually start off my Fun Monday posts wishing everyone a happy Monday, but something tells me this is a happier Monday than most! It’s the Monday just before a holiday & if you’re like me, you took full advantage of the July 4th weekend & extended it through to today! The 4th may not […]

I’m sort of sad to be writing this last post documenting my trip with Dance Adventures to the Dominican Republic earlier this year.

After my trip to the Dominican Republic with Dance Adventures, I’ve been rethinking how I consider myself a not very adventurous person. The day I went jungle zip lining made me rethink exactly who I think I am! I came to realize after a couple minor adventures throughout the week that experiencing something physically & […]

Last week I told you the day we went to El Limon waterfall was my favorite day of our trip to the Dominican Republic with Dance Adventures. I showed you photos from our drive through Samana & our trek through the jungle on hourseback to the waterfall. Well, our day didn’t end after our delicious […]

It’s hard to play favorites with the days & activities we experienced while in the Dominican Republic for our Dance Adventures trip, but I have to say – the day we traveled to El Limón waterfall was at the tippy top of my list. If I’m being honest, it’s probably at the tippy top of my […]

Today’s blog post might make you want to take a professional photographer with you on beach vacations from now on. Just sayin’. The folks who traveled to the Dominican Republic for our Dance Adventures trip might have felt like I was doing them a favor by taking some quick headshots, but little did they know […]
