This past winter was a long, cold, snowy one. When spring began to make its grand appearance for the season, I seriously could not have been more ecstatic! I think that spring is such a special season because we all get to witness its beauty progressively grow with each new day, just as we are doing ourselves.

I had so much fun shooting with Shaniece, who will be graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University this Saturday and receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Marketing. We both live in Richmond, VA and decided to go to the state capitol to shoot!

I had an absolute blast yesterday shooting with the beautiful soon-to-be graduate, Lauren! We shot at Botanical Gardens in Norfolk, VA and could not have asked for a more beautiful day to make some great memories. The sun was shining and gorgeous flowers were in bloom EVERYWHERE!

Hello lovelies! With semester final exams being just a short time away, it's time to start studying my life away. College finals can be one of the most stressful/anxiety-causing things EVER!

Happy Easter loves! I hope you all had wonderful days filled with nothing but good times and happiness, while of course not failing to keep in mind that today is celebrated for our savior. My day was spent with the people that mean the most to me. I'm so thankful for them and the amount of blessings that I have to thank God for are just endless.

If there's one thing that I have to admit that I have an unhealthy obsession for, it's definitely mason jars. I have a gazillion of them and seriously use them for everything. I have all sorts of styles, sizes, and colors and just can't resist when I see a new, cute one in the store that I don't already have - you betcha I'm walkin' out of that store with a new jar.

The first day of spring was two days ago but it's still been rather chilly. However, this morning was warm, beautiful, and filled with lots of sunshine. I celebrated with a bright, flavorful smoothie bowl for breakfast!

Oh how I love you, fall! Here's a few of my favorite photos from this past fall -  including colorful leaves, festive decorations, tasty treats, and pumpkins galore!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Hooray for my first blog post! It's been so fun watching this site slowly come together and I'm sooo happy that it's just about finished up now! I love any excuse to get festive so today was certainly no exception! I decided to add a little twist on today's breakfast smoothie to create what I like to call the Shamrock Swirl Smoothie.
