Savoring the Sweetest Parts of Life
This past Saturday Shelton and I piddled around town and I took my camera. It had been a while since we got some shots of downtown Greenville (or as the city calls it, “Uptown”), and it’s definitely an interesting area. You can tell at one point it was very active, but unfortunately that is not the case these days. Of course, this means there are tons of murals that have become worn over time and also some generally weird stuff {Read More}
Whew. You guys. It’s Tuesday and I feel like I have finally caught up on my sleep from this past weekend. As I shared last week, Shelton and I headed west to put ourselves smack dab in wedding central to watch my best girl get hitched. Did you know that Mondays after a wedding-filled weekend are increasingly harder to get through than run-of-the-mill Mondays? It’s true. The wedding (and all the events leading up to Alex walking down the aisle) {Read More}
I’ve been shooting with my Nikon D5100 for a few months now, and it’s drastically changed not only the way I capture memories but also the way I blog. Shooting with a legit camera has definitely taken my photos (and posts) to the next level, to the point where I cannot imagine going back to a point-and-shoot method. I do not take my photography too seriously–it truly is a hobby and I enjoy it. Below are some tips I’ve learned {Read More}
Well, hello there. I am back from my little blogging break and am super excited to see you! Shelton and I had a wonderful time in Texas and made so many memories with family during the holidays. Getting there was quite the journey, and it was anything but dull. Here are some snapshots from the road as well as from Carthage. I hope that 2013 is treating you well… -Sarah Follow me on Instagram, why don’t ‘cha? @sarah1119 Spuds’ Lair aka The Back Seat {Read More}
When I woke up on September 28, 2012, I thought it was just going to be another birthday. Shelton and I had some fun things planned for the evening, but for the most part I assumed it’d be like any other Friday. A little work, a little play, a sweet card… you know, the usual. He had already surprised me with my Nikon D5100 a couple weeks back, so I didn’t think there was anything else planned. Well, I was {Read More}
Confession: I have never been to a full blown state fair. That’s pretty sad to admit, because I come from Texas… a land that is known (among many things) for it’s annual state fair full of fried foods and Big Tex (RIP, bro). It turns out that North Carolina has a decent state fair also, but time slipped away from us and we weren’t able to attend. BUT we did get to go to the county fair here in Greenville {Read More}
This Thanksgiving was incredibly special for me. Mom and Janie traveled all the way from Texas to visit us in North Carolina, and we had a proper family Thanksgiving dinner in Fuquay-Varina (outside of Raleigh). There were so many great memories made, and I’m reminded to be thankful every day (not just one day out of the year) for all the gifts I have been given. Here are some of my favorite shots from the past week. I hope your {Read More}
You know you got that Deana Carter reference. I am still learning so much about photography. Specifically, what I like, what I feel like I’m good at, and everything in between. It’s such a fun journey–one that I never expected to go on. At least not at this rate, but I am so thankful to have such an amazing tool to capture life with. And even though I am still very much an amateur, it’s a fun process. In Texas {Read More}
